1 | Team at desk with papers, laptops, snacks. Clock shows 9 PM. Everyone looks determined but tired. | Alex: “Okay team… only 200 questions. We’ve got this!” | Sets up the challenge; optimism before chaos. |
2 | Late-night chaos. Teens slumped, papers everywhere, someone typing half-asleep. Clock shows 3 AM. | Maya: “I’m measuring impact in tears at this point.” | Shows exhaustion + humor of grant-writing pain. |
3 | Alex triumphantly hits “Submit.” Weak confetti popper goes off. | Alex: “YES! We did it! We’re still alive!!” | Fake victory moment — classic sitcom setup. |
4 | Email notification: “Submission Received: Golden Foundation for Senior Pet Wellness.” Team stares blankly in shock. | Small text: “…first lesson: check. the. foundation.” | Punchline: all that work → wrong foundation. |
