A comedic script about a team's chaotic late-night effort to submit a grant application, only to realize they don't meet the requirements.
Panel | Visual Description | Dialogue | Comedic / Story Beat |
1 | Team at desk with papers, laptops, snacks. Clock shows 9 PM. Everyone looks determined but tired. | Alex: “Okay team… only 40 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. Please note that we would request evidence of registered charities for the fund to be processed if granted.” Team stares blankly in shock. | Small talk “We are not a charity…”
Small text: “…first lesson: check. the. requirement.” | Punchline: all that work → wrong foundation. |
