The other day, I was going to watch the
finale of my favorite TV show Supernatural
I was so stoked to see if Sam and Dean are
able to get the First Blade from Crowley
but then Dave decides to play video games…

I’ve been playing “Forced Unleashed” for
the past couple of months. I’ve finally
got to Darth Vader. But then SOMEONE
decided to barge into the living room…

Pete just gets back from his class and sees Dave playing
unleashed. His face is shocked and tries to get Dave to
hold up.
PETE
Hey Dave could you save the game I got to
watch my show.
DAVE
Yeah sure hold on. Just give me a 10 mins.
PETE
No you don’t understand, I can’t miss a
single minute of the show. Just pause the
2
game and let me watch.
DAVE
I can’t just stop now, I’m on a roll!
PETE
Pause the Game!!
DAVE
NO!
[Pete turns the Xbox off and changes the channel]
DAVE
HEY! What’d you do that for!!!???
PETE
Cuz you wouldn’t pause the game.
[Dave grabs the remote and changed the channel]
PETE
Hey! Give me that!
DAVE
Hey no! It’s…my turn!
DAVE
What are you taking about!? You had your
turn!
[The two fight over the remote. The TV is changing
channels like crazy. Eventually the TV Breaks and continue
bickering. Alex comes in after sleeping in and is confused
and walks back to his room.]
PETE
You see what you did!
DAVID
What! I did! You were the one who started
it. If you hadn’t turned off the xbox we
wouldn’t be having this problem

PETE
Why are you blaming this on me, you could
have paused the game and allowed me watch
my show.

PETE
It was totally his fault…
DAVE
It was not my fault, he shouldn’t have
turned the game off.

DAVE
Oh, now you are blaming all of this on me.
If you didn’t have to watch your stupid
show, I would have won the game, but…
PETE
STUPID SHOW!!!!???? That’s show brought a
lot of meaning to my life. Maybe if you
watch the show, you would understand.
DAVE
…instead I have to start all over
because of you…

One week later, we fade into the living room where David is

peacefully watching TV.
apologize with David.
Pete comes in and wants to
PETE
Hey Dave?
DAVE
(Sighs with a mad face)What?
PETE
I…I wanted to apologize for the other
day. I should have let you finish you
game. My show could wait. I mean I’m
sure there would be reruns of it anyway.
DAVE
I’m sorry too. It was just a game and I
could have paused it and let you watch.
Apology accepted?
PETE
Definitely, and would you forgive too.
DAVE
Of course, that’s what roommates do
right?
[Pete sits down and joins David while David surfs
the channels]
PETE
Oh dude, turn back it’s Grey’s Anatomy.
DAVE
Nah that show’s boring. Oh yeah, Family
Guy. Now that’s entertaining.
PETE
Ewe, that’s a horrible show, turn back
to Grey’s Anatomy.
DAVE
No way man! This show’s totally good.

PETE
Wo wo wo, who paid for this TV?
DAVE
WHO PAID FOR THIS TV?!?!? You didn’t
have to get a new TV. Besides you broke
the last one.
PETE
Oh so we’re going back to that argument
again are we.
DAVE
You brought up! We just got over it, why
are you bringing this up again!
PETE
Well we wouldn’t be arguing if you would
just let me watch TV, you never let me
watch
[Alex comes in again after just waking up.]
ALEX
I got to stop waking up at noon.
DAVE
I never let you watch!? How dare you say
that, I always let you watch…you hog the
TV all the time…
[Slowly the scene starts to fade out.]
