INT. MADISON SQUARE GARDEN – NIGHT

A camcorder moves to and fro in slow precision, sometimes shaking, covering the venue. It starts from a shot of the scoreboard in the center.

CUT TO: LOWER MEZZANINE

The camera moves slow. As it’s moving, a white circle briefly flashes on the face of an African-American in the crowd. The camera moves a little faster.

CUT TO: ANOTHER LOWER MEZZANINE SECTION

The camera moves slow again. Two white circles flash on two, African-Americans in the crowd. As the camera moves, a male, African-American cotton candy vendor strolls past from right to left. A white circle flashes over his face.

CUT TO: ANOTHER LOWER MEZZANINE SECTION

A female, African-American woman in a leather jacket walks casually in front of the camera. A white circle flashes over her face. As the camera moves up, a female, African-American drink vendor hands a beverage to a patron. A white circle flashes over her face.

CUT TO: COURTSIDE

A couple towards the back has two white circles flash over their faces. As the camera moves to the premium seats, we see BOB COSTAS, FRANK GIFFORD, etc. The camera pans out and flashes white circles over the entire NEW YORK KNICKS starting line-up. A closer look shows SPIKE LEE standing and applauding proudly after the Knicks score a point.

CUT TO: UPPER MEZZANINE

White circles are flashing manically all over. The camera turns to the right and HORATIO SANZ’s is putting his fountain drink on the floor. TRACY MORGAN’s seated next to him, eating. A very large white circle flashes over and over on his face.
