Int. Day – Interview
The reporter and the Athlete sitting down for a formal interview.
Max Power
Now that Jenga is an official Olympic event
are you excited that you will be
part of the Olympic's in your home country?
Sebastian
To represent my country is an honour!
I didn't believe this day will ever come,
such a neglected sport, to run as fast
as Usain Bolt, is that a skill? Really?
To hold steady nerves and push a block from a
tower takes skill
Max
As an official athlete now you must have a
training schedule? What I want to know is what
do you do in training?
Sebastian
Hour finger exercises (moves fingers)
Half hour meditation to hold nerves to
become a steady tiger and be one with wisdom
roaaaaaaar
Max
So keeping your nerves is really that important?
Don't you ever practice block removing techniques
Sebastian
Be one with the block, be one with the tower
Max
You are considered to be Britian's greatest
Jenga player, winning almost every competition t
hat the Chinese have not entered. Do you believe
you can beat them?
Sebastian
To be honest no, can I say that? oh, re take
Yes, Yes I can, they may have fast hands and
steady nerves, but I am British!
Max
So you will probably fail at the last hurdle
like most brits?
Sebastian
You my friend are not British, you my friend are a loser!
Max
Ok moving on, is Jenga your life?
Sebastian
Jenga is more than my life its my... erm... life.
Since I was a little kid, I was in an
advertisement you know take one
from the bottom and put it on top

In the international Jenga world
championships you were humiliated in the final
by Jun Ji Sang. Is that still on your mind?

Sebastian V.O
It will always be on my mind, I will take that to
the grave, noooo. Not again, this time it is a
Wooden Dream.
