Call of duty.

A man of 30 (Keith) is giving a motivational speech. He is dressed in full army clothing with a Massive British flag wavering in the background.

KEITH

Alright men, we may be a small army, but we have the heart of a thousand men! We have been chosen to lead our country into battle and we will keep our promise we made to the queen of England. We must fight until we have full con-

Now pull that flag down, turn that f**king fan off and sit down.

ANDY

Every time we play call of duty Keith?...really?

A sulking Keith mutters

KEITH

I just thought I'd add a bit of drama (beat) can I play?

Andy just stars into Keith's eyes as if to say 'f**k off' and then looks back at the TV.

The End.

Kinda funny.

I think you could of mined a little more out of the subject though before we pull away and reveal they're just playing COD.

Also, you could have drew some comparisons with the very real pride and commitment that fighting for one's country involves and the intensity and seriousness with which some people regard playing COD.

Just a newbie myself, take what you will from that.

Could work as a sketch. Needs a twist of some sort in the end.

I would like to see keith's actions when playing tekken.
