The Belligerent Beavs story (The Movie) [Screenplay]
FADE IN:
INT. COLLEGE BAR - DAY
Terry, JP, and Benny are sitting at a table, chatting and laughing over beers.
TERRY: (dejectedly)
I can't believe it's been ten years since we graduated from college.
JP: (optimistically)
Yeah, time flies. But you know what hasn't changed? Our love for the Beavers.
BENNY: (nodding)
And our love for beer.
Terry gets an idea.
TERRY: (excitedly)
Hey, what if we started a podcast about our beloved Beavers and our love for beer?
JP: (persuasively)
The Belligerent Beavs Podcast. I love it.
Benny raises his glass.
BENNY: (standing)
To The Belligerent Beavs Podcast!
The friends cheer and clink their glasses together.
INT. PODCAST STUDIO - DAY
Terry, JP, and Benny are sitting in front of microphones, recording their first episode of The Belligerent Beavs Podcast.
TERRY: (excitedly)
Welcome to The Belligerent Beavs Podcast, where we'll be talking all things Oregon State Beavers sports and beer.
JP: (sipping on a Double IPA)
In this episode, we'll be discussing the Beavers' recent win over the Ducks and our favorite craft beers.
BENNY: (munching on a marijuana edible)
Just give me a minute. I need to get good and stoned before we start.
Terry rolls his eyes.
TERRY: (sarcastically)
Great, just what we need. A stoned Benny Bedlam.
Benny grins and gives a thumbs up.
BENNY: (cheerfully)
Benny With The Good Quaff is always ready to go!
The friends laugh and continue to banter as they set up their microphones and start the recording.
INT. TERRY'S APARTMENT - DAY (MONTHS LATER)
The friends are now well into their podcast, and it's a huge success. They have a dedicated fanbase and are known as The Bebes.
TERRY: (excitedly)
Holy crap guys, we just hit a million downloads!
JP: (surprised)
No way!
BENNY: (triumphantly)
The Belligerent Beavs are on top of the world!
Just then, their phones start buzzing with notifications. They look at them and see that they've been approached by Arby's about being acquired.
JP: (excitedly)
Holy shit, Arby's wants to buy us out!
Benny's eyes light up.
BENNY: (eagerly)
Oh man, I love Arby's. I’m going to go get some for lunch.
Terry and JP exchange a skeptical look.
TERRY: (hesitantly)
I don't know, Benny. This is a huge decision. We have to think about it carefully.
JP: (nodding)
Yeah, and what about our independence? Do we really want to be owned by a fast food chain?
Benny's face falls.
BENNY: (disappointed)
Oh, I see. You guys don't want to eat free Arby's for eternity.
The friends fall silent, each lost in their own thoughts.
INT. ARBY'S OFFICE - DAY
Terry, JP, and Benny are sitting across from a representative from Arby's.
ARBY'S REPRESENTATIVE: (firmly)
We've been following your podcast for some time now and we think it has the potential to be even bigger with our support. We'd like to offer you a deal to acquire The Belligerent Beavs Podcast.
The friends are torn. On one hand, the opportunity to be acquired by Arby's is a dream come true. On the other hand, they're not sure if they want to give up their independence.
Benny speaks up.
BENNY: (excitedly)
I love Arby's. The curly fries alone are worth it.
JP: (CONCERNED)
But what about our autonomy?
TERRY: (nodding)
We've built this podcast from the ground up. Are we really ready to give it all up for a deal with Arby's?
The friends debate back and forth until they come to a decision.
INT. TERRY'S APARTMENT - DAY (LATER)
After much discussion and contemplation, the friends have come to a decision.
TERRY: (thoughtfully)
You know, as much as we love our independence, we can't pass up this opportunity. The Belligerent Beavs could be the biggest podcast platform in the history of college athletics.
JP: (nodding)
And let's be real, who wouldn't want free Arby's for eternity?
Benny grins.
BENNY: (happily)
That's what I'm talking about!
The friends high five and celebrate their decision to accept the offer from Arby's and the success of their podcast, which has become the biggest platform for college athletics in history.
FADE TO BLACK.
