    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Dennis Rodman, Five time NBA Champion:
    "I'm going back December 14th. I'm going to train the North Koreans to do one thing. To play against the Americans. I'm going for seven days. And Paddy Power will be there to oversee a lot of stuff. ACtually they went even deeper and said, 'Dennis, we'd love you to do one thing for us. For the next Olympics can you train our Olympic team to compete in the next Olympics. For the next three years.' I'm like ok. Ok I will."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Dennis Rodman, Five time NBA Champion:
    "There's no (financial) take away. I want to bridge a gap with North Korea. That's all I want to do. I want someone in higher power in our organisation as far as Americans maybe Obama, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton to at least, please open that door to talk to them. Open that door. Because the one thing he's told me, the Marshall over there says, guess what, the reason that we like you so much Dennis is that you are very honest and we see everything you do. And I call him my friend. He's my friend. If you hate my guts, hate my guts, but he's my friend. And all you guys would do anything in the world to go over there and talk to him for an hour and let me know what you guys think."
