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

Max

In the international Jenga world

championships you were humiliated in the final

by Jun Ji Sang. Is that still on your mind?

Flashback into a previous clip of Sebastian losing a game of Jenga in the 'international Jenga world championships' in a stadium with crowds cheering. Jenga tower falls in slow motion with close ups on the Jenga blocks and contestants. Scene transitions over to credits which appear on the Jenga blocks.

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.
