Thanksgiving Party, Squirel Hill.
Five guests play Scrabble™ while the turkey finishes roasting. Guest #1 puts a four letter word onto the board:

Guest #2: Take that back.
Guest #3: I think he can play it; it’s certainly a real word.
Hostess: What’s all the fuss?
Guest #2: He just played “jews” for 20 points with a double-word score.

The Cut, CMU campus.
A bunch of students are playing loud techno music at a barbecue while clubs hold fundraisers nearby. A guy in an Eagles jersey is selling donuts when a friend passes by:

Friend: Eagles suck!
Eagles Fan: Steelers suck!
Friend: STEELERS!
Eagles Fan: EAGLES!
Random Passer By: COWBOYS!

The blasting techno music at the barbecue is suddenly replaced by the Fox NFL theme.
