NHL on TNT - You Had to Be There

Sean Jacob Hakim

Wayne Gretzky walking into what appears to be a compound…receives a call. It’s Charles Barkley.

Chuck

Ya know…I was thinking. So many great things in life..For example…nice cold lemonade on a hot summer day

Gretzky walks into an empty ice rink.

Gretzky

Or an ice cold rink…so cold you can see your breath

Chuck looks a bit thrown off, but continues.

Chuck

The smell of clean laundry after the wash

Chuck sniffs a clean towel. Pans back to Wayme, who opens a locker, grabs old pads and sniffs it

Gretzky

…or the smell of dirty pads…ready to get out there!

Chuck again looks perplexed but carries on. He makes his way into a room and hops on the bed.

Chuck

Nothing like jumping on a big soft bed

Jumps back to Gretzsky who is now on ice with others.

Gretzky

…hold that thought

Gretzky puts his phone down …1) skates at a kid and checks him against the glass…or 2) drops his gloves like he’s going to fight someone…screen beeps and flashes. Charles looks at his phone.

Chuck

Wayne…you there?

VO

You just had to be there…NHL on TNT

Gretzky

We’ll be there…will you?

Wayne skates off the ice. Camera rises and gets view of the rink…TNT etched into the ice by skates.
