Kobe?
for Kobe Bryant's pitch to ESPN

Kobe Bryant is working on something in his cubicle. Someone calls to him from behind. It’s Daisuke Matsuzaka 

DM: Kobe? 

KB: Yeah? 

Matsuzaka extends a cafeteria tray, expecting Kobe to put something on it. Kobe looks perplexed. 

DM: Kobe? 

Matsuzaka re-presents the tray, thinking he hasn’t been understood. John Anderson hears this last as he approaches. 

JA: No, no, no, Daisuke. You’re thinking of Kobe beef, from Kobe, Japan. This is Kobe Bryant, from the Los Angeles Lakers. 

Anderson begins to lead Matuzaka away. 

JA (con’t): (to Kobe) He’s new. 

KB: Not a problem. 

JA (to Matsusaka): Also, the cafeteria doesn’t really serve Kobe beef, it’s more of a USDA ground chuck.
