Is nothing new anymore?

Ugh!  I was watching a random TV show while having breakfast this morning (and sorta working)... so it really was more background noise than anything.

Okay, so here's some background: Girl A used to work with Boy B in the Army, overseas. Although she was married, she fell in love with Boy B while they were out on assignment. She moved back home, reconnects with husband and tries to get her life back together (Husband has no clue she's cheated). Boy B moves to where Girl A is for work, and professes his love, but she's trying to work on her marriage so she declines. In this time, husband finds out about affair,  marriage can't be repaired.. bla bla... Boy B deals with rejection, eventually meets Girl X and kinda falls for her. Girl A is now single, lonely and wondering what next... has a lightbulb moment and realizes she was always in love with Boy B. She goes over to his home to tell him, but girl X is there and he says he's not interested anymore.

Fast forward: Okay, this is the part that kills me. They steal a scene from "love & basketball." Girl A and Boy B (who are relatively cordial and have to work together) take a break from work one day and decide to play a game of basketball in that time. Then she says they should play for stakes... and when he asks what, she says she'll play him for his heart. That if she wins, they'll get back and bla bla. Obviously, they play and she loses... and then she walks away defeated and comes back half-crying, saying how it's unfair.. yadi yaaa... and then he shuts her up with a kiss.

NOW, I would've found that hella cute if i hadn't already seen that EXACT scene in "love & basketball." UGH! I hate lack of originality!

lol... rant over... back to work i go :p
