EXT. PUTTING GREEN OF INDIAN CREEK GOLF COURSE, 1st HOLE
Golfer #1 stands over the ball and prepares to putt.
GOLFER #2:
Um, that’s not a putter.
GOLFER #1 inspects the club.
GOLFER #2
That’s a 9-iron.
GOLFER #1
Oh. So I’m supposed to use a putter here?
GOLFER #2
(Sighing) Yeah, when you putt, you typically use a putter. Here, use mine.
Golfer #1 takes the club and leans over the ball. He adjusts his stance, looks up at the hole and then back down, steps back and takes a practice swing...
GOLFER #2
Will you putt already?
GOLFER #1
(Still taking practice swings) I think we can win.
GOLFER #2
Win what?
GOLFER #1
The Final Cut Classic.
GOLFER #2
Just putt please.
GOLFER #1
We have a chance.
GOLFER #2
We have no chance. None. You’ve never golfed before. And I pretty much suck. We’re not gonna win anything.
GOLFER #1
Like the CMD Group is gonna beat us.
GOLFER #2
Yeah, they WILL beat us. Easily. Have you seen how nice their golf clubs are?
GOLFER #1
We have rentals.
GOLFER #2
Exactly.
GOLFER #1
We could take Limbo Films.
GOLFER #2
What are you smoking?
GOLFER #1
(Standing up and raising the golf club as if it’s Excalibur) I’m smoking anything is possible man. I’m smoking the spirit of the underdog.
GOLFER #2
Would you please just putt.
GOLFER #1
Daniel Baldwin’s here.
GOLFER #2
So.
GOLFER #1
We could take down his team. Be nice to take down a Baldwin, with their fame and charisma. I’m not intimidated by Daniel Baldwin.
GOLFER #2
You should be. He’s good.
GOLFER #1
He’ll get distracted by the @Large posse.
GOLFER #2
Just like you.
GOLFER #1
Well...hard not to.
GOLFER #2
You know, they’re giving out an award for the worst score today.
GOLFER #1
Really?
GOLFER #1 rubs his chin, looks off into the distance and then nods his head.
GOLFER #2
Give me that 9-iron.
THE END
