Transcript
''[The camera turns on as it is like being it's on a crane. The crane moves from the top of the studio to where the chairs of the host (who hasn't appeared yet) and Adam 'The Ghost' Smith.]''

Narrator: Welcome to the Late Night BBPTV Show! With tonight's guest - Adam 'The Ghost' Smith.

Adam: Cheers.

Narrator: And please welcome our host. Larry Prince!

''[He appears on the stage, cue the auidence. Larry arrives to his chair. Adam nearly goes to sleep.]''

Larry: So, today we have our guest from The Toon Tomahawks.

''[He points to a sleepy Adam. Larry goes to slap Adam.]''

Adam: You slapped me. Nobody slaps me except my girlfriend.

Larry: Anyway, we're going to ask Adam about his origins.

Adam: My what of what now?

Larry: (whispers) Stick with the idea.

Adam: Okay?

Larry: So, let's ask him about the year of your birth, so Adam tell the auidence of that year.

[Larry and Adam sit on the interview chairs.]

Adam: Well Larry, I was born in 1990. Which makes me a respectable age of 25 and the eldest person on my team.

Larry: Not even the elegant Venice Kuropato?

Adam: She's 19.

[The auidence gasps.]

Adam: Why the hell are you gasping? I didn't stalk her. I've got the contract documents in my upper pocket. Those documents however are dated 2012. She was the second last person to join before Sun.

Larry: So back into your past. Now did you at the age of 12 - want that need for speed.

Adam: Ohhhhh.... Lord. Do I have to remember this? Okay, yes at the age of 12 up until 16. Thanks to those Need For Speed games, I wanted to be a racer, like that 2001 movie with Sylvester Stallone. Was it Driver?

Larry: So, after the commerical break we will be talking about coming here and your basketball origins.

[After the break, we continue of the show.]

Larry: So, what about you coming here?

Adam: At the age of 16, I tried alchohol for the first time and became drunk. I was going to walk upon the soft and warm beaches of my hometown and fell into the sea...

[The auidence laughs at the joke.]

Adam: That wasn't funny, I became drunk and fell into the sea from a rocky cliff that was right next to it. But then all of a sudden I was revived by mermaids and sent to this place, like your superhero - Mermaid Man. I quite like him, I'll give you his phone number if you want.

Larry: Onto basketball.

Adam: So during my years of my need for speed era. I watched NBA with LeBron James and Michael Jordan. I tried basketball but with no team, so I sent out letters and all the stuff came into around now.

Larry: That's it?

Adam: There's nothing else.

Larry: Well, it's time to bring the next guest on.

[Adam leaves the chair area to go backstage.]

Adam: That's the last TV appearance I'm going on before my career goes to end.
