 Embarrassing Bodies – Testicular Cancer Awareness (Scene Rewrite with Dialogue)

INT. RUGBY TEAM LOCKER ROOM – DAY

The team is fresh off a muddy game, energy still buzzing as they file into the locker room. The camera follows DR. CHRISTIAN JESSEN as he walks in, clipboard in hand, a confident but friendly smile on his face.

DR. CHRISTIAN

"Alright, lads. Thanks for being up for this. Today we’re talking about something a lot of men don’t—but should—check regularly: testicular cancer."

The fifteen rugby players glance around at each other, some smirking, others nodding.

DR. CHRISTIAN (smiling)

"I’ll be showing you how to do a proper self-exam, but first, to make things easier, I need you all to hop in the showers. Warm water helps relax the scrotum, makes it easier to check."

A moment of silence—then laughter breaks out.

PLAYER 1 (jokingly)

"Didn’t expect to get my balls touched today, doc!"

PLAYER 2

"Speak for yourself, mate."

Laughter continues as the players begin stripping. One by one, they undress and head into the communal showers, chatting and joking as the steam rises. The camera films without censoring, in the clinical but open style the show is known for.

CUT TO: LOCKER ROOM – LATER

The players return, towels wrapped around their waists. Dr. Christian sits on a bench at the front.

DR. CHRISTIAN

"Alright, who’s feeling brave? I need one volunteer to help demonstrate."

A beat. Then a thin blond lad—JOHN—raises his hand.

JOHN

"I’ll do it."

His teammates clap and whistle.

PLAYER 3

"Go on, Johnny boy!"

John walks up and sits beside the doctor. He looks nervous but grins.

DR. CHRISTIAN

"Okay, John, if you’re alright with it, go ahead and drop the towel."

John shrugs, unties it, and lets it fall. His teammates erupt in laughter—not mocking, just that shared rugby banter.

PLAYER 4

"Bit chilly in here, isn’t it?"

DR. CHRISTIAN (chuckling)

"Alright, alright. Let’s focus. I promise you won’t hate the exam as much as you think."

JOHN (laughing)

"I’m not so sure about that, doc."

Dr. Christian puts on gloves and gently begins the exam.

DR. CHRISTIAN

"Now, lads, pay attention. You’re feeling for anything unusual—lumps, hard spots, changes in size. One testicle being slightly bigger than the other is totally normal."

DR. CHRISTIAN (to John)

"In fact, your right one is quite a bit larger."

JOHN (looking down, surprised)

"Really? I always wondered if that was just me."

His teammates laugh again.

PLAYER 5

"He’s been lopsided this whole time and never noticed!"

DR. CHRISTIAN

"Totally normal. What’s important is learning what your normal feels like."

He finishes the exam and pats John on the shoulder.

DR. CHRISTIAN

"Good job, mate. Now, let’s all give it a go. Towels off, everyone. Let’s normalize this."

The team hesitates for a second, then one by one, they drop their towels. The atmosphere is surprisingly calm now—curious, focused.

DR. CHRISTIAN

"Use both hands. Gently roll each testicle between your fingers. Feel for any lumps or changes. If something feels off, don’t panic—just get it checked."

The players examine themselves. A few exchange glances.

PLAYER 6

"Uh… I think I feel something here."

PLAYER 7

"Me too. Might just be a vein?"

PLAYER 8 (quietly)

"Same here, better safe than sorry, yeah?"

Dr. Christian steps in and re-examines the three players one by one.

DR. CHRISTIAN (relieved)

"Good news, gents. All clear. What you’re feeling is normal anatomy—nothing to worry about."

The team breathes out and a few clap each other on the back.

DR. CHRISTIAN

"And that’s the point. Knowing your own body is the first step to catching something early. It’s simple, takes just a minute, and it could save your life."

CUT TO: TEAM WALKING OUTSIDE, LAUGHING AND TALKING

Voiceover from Dr. Christian wraps up the segment.

DR. CHRISTIAN (V.O.)

"Men don’t talk enough about these things—but they should. The earlier testicular cancer is caught, the better the chance of recovery. So check yourself—and don’t be embarrassed."
