    Hello, I am "big moment" in the film, when everyone in an audience hearing someone give a big speech seems totally up to speed and thoroughly invested with everything that led that person to give to that speech - even if they are just in from Delaware to see their nephew graduate, play for the other team or were just hired to help with the catering.

    Hello. I am a modern “print” journalist. I only work on one story for days at a time; I don’t have to have two stories a day like any other reporter.

    Hello, I'm the new guy who just joined your combat unit. I'll be killed in the first firefight.

    The sportswriters on TV are the worst. Did Ray Barrone EVER work?

    ...by winning the big game with a dramatic last-second play.

    BTW, this is why I loved the original Rocky and Bull Durham so much. Rocky lost the fight and Bull Durham didn't go the "big game" route.

    And usually a dramatic last-second gadget play that the team hasn't practiced all season, or never got it to work when they did. And if it's a football team, it will go for an 85-yard touchdown.

    ... and I'll give away my exclusive scoop by asking key questions in a press conference attended by 100 other reporters.

    And only two stories per day? That's still a pretty light workload.

    Hello, I am in a film. Whenever I enter a building or room from the outside I never close the door. Also, whenever I am driving a car I look only at my passenger, never the road.
