GRANNY TECH - WII BOWLING SCRIPT
WHO SAYS VIDEO GAMES ARE JUST FOR KIDS?
NOT BRUCE AND ESTHER HUFFMAN.
WHEN WE FIRST MET UP WITH THE HUFFMANS AT THEIR HOME IN McMINNVILLE, OREGON, THEY DIDNÕT
SEEM LIKE THE GAMING TYPE.
IN FACT, AFTER WATCHING THE FAMOUS VIRAL VIDEO OF THESE SWEET BUT NOT-SO TECH-SAVVY SENIORS
STRUGGLING WITH THEIR WEBCAM...
["Webcam 101 for Seniors" video]
...WELL, WE THOUGHT WE HAD OUR WORK CUT OUT FOR US.
BUT WE WERE UP TO THE CHALLENGE Ð AND SO WERE THEY.
>> Olivia: So I'm gonna teach you guys how to play Wiii. Wii is a video game system you
can use at home to stay active. And its great because you are using your whole body to play
the game which means that you burn calories and you stay active and you're using your
mind--all good things!
TIME TO GET THE BALL ROLLING!
AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW Ð ESTHER IS A ROOKIE SENSATION!
>> Esther: I got a strike! >> Bruce: Well all right!
BRUCE IS NO SLOUCH EITHER.
>> Bruce: Hey! Hey!
NOW THE PRESSURE IS ON!
>> Bruce: I think you did itÉ
ESTHERÕS LOOKING A LITTLE HESITANTÉ
É.BUUUUT SHE PULLS THROUGH FOR A STRIKE!
[they cheer]
ITÕS A GAME OF ENDURANCEÉ
AND BRUCE MIGHT BE LOSING HIS EDGE.
>> Bruce: Is swimming on there? [yawn]
ESTHER SEES HER CHANCE AND SWOOPS IN FOR THE WIN!
>> Esther: I got a strike again! >> Bruce: You're kidding!
>> Esther: Yes yes I did. Oh, I got a strike again!
>> Bruce: That's pretty monotonous, EstherÉ getting all those strikes.
WITH 6 STRIKES IN A ROW, THEREÕS NO CHANCE BRUCE IS COMING BACK . . .
NOT THAT HE SEEMS TO MIND!
>> Bruce: I'll watch real good. >> Esther: All right, you'll cheer for me,
ok? >> Bruce: Ok.
