We open in the smoke filled restaurant once again with Matt Stevens and Misty Bradford.They get up out of their chairs that are a really faded red olor, and tears are visible. They are getting up after their lunch. Detective Stevens leaves a rather small tip of three dollars, and Mistry gives him a strange look as they approach the cash register.
Misty Bradford- So, you never learned Algebra, huh?
She smiles and winks at Matt. He rolls his eyes.
Matt Stevens- Close enough to 15%, in my view at least.
Matt pays for the food and drinks and they walk outside.
Misty Bradford- Hold up, I need a cig.
Misty pulls her pack out of her purse and lights up. Matt stops and turns to her as she light up.
Matt Stevens- You know those things are no good, don't you?
Misty Bradford- You smoke too, idiot.
Matt Stevens- True. But if you'd quit, you could then give me all of your remaining cigarretts, then I have more and your's don't go to waist!
She offers him one, and he accepts using her lighter to light up. He inhales the wonderful taste of it, and blows out the smoke.
Matt Stevens- So, this time tomorrow, we go to Richardson, right?
Misty Bradford- You got it.
We cut to PKA, Ash, and Adam Payne in their home.
Adam Payne- So what's this International Tournament all about?
PKA- Well man, eight punks will fight for a shot at the title, facing your's truly, but they won't win it see. Its going to be me who regains what "technically" has been mine since I first won it back in February..it was February, right? Oh well, who cares. All that matters is that the International Title will remain mine as long as I'm in the NWO.
Ash looks at PKA with a smile.
Ash- Well, I think its a great idea!
Adam looks on.
Adam Payne- You wanna know what's really good?
PKA- What?
Adam Payne- When you go out there and beat the hell out of Brother Brimstone this Sunday.
Ash- Very true. That is, if he even shows.
Adam Payne- He hasn't said a word all week.
PKA- Yeah, I noticed that. I'm not sure what's going on with him, maybe something came up, maybe he just doesn't have the time, doesn't care, or maybe its just that he doesn't wanna say something that may really tick me off? Hmm, well, its a very challenging question there, but I'd like to choose the last answer.
The phone rings, and Ash goes to answer it as PKA and Adam continue to talk.
PKA- But dude, I'm not sure why he'd be that way. Look at me, I'm way smaller than he is, and that alone has given my opponents in the past confidence that they'd kick my ass. Maybe Brimstone is a little bit out of it. He could be compared to a pot head, who never gets anything accomplished, just sits around, and waits for opportunity to knock on the door..of their basement room. Brimstone thinks that he can just lay off on the trailors this week and hope to get a quick win this Sunday, but he's out of his mind if that's the truth. We should start calling him Brother BrimSTONER, that lil' punk.
Ash hangs up the phone and returns to the two men.
PKA- Who was that?
Ash- Reporters again, they just won't quit.
Adam Payne- Wow, I'm so popular!
PKA- Dude, that was gay. Besides, the only real popular one here is me, "Grade A" PK-
Adam Payne- A-mazingly egotistical crazed lunatic...yeah man, you got issues.
PKA- Ah but if it is I that has issues, wouldn't one say that you are an even bigger nutcase for teaming with me?
Adam is stumped, doesn't know what to say. The phone then rings again.
Ash- Saved by the bell, huh Adam?
PKA- I'm gonna get this one. Hold up.
PKA lets the phone ring about three times while just standing there.
PKA- Its fun letting them hang a bit. Aight, here we go. .. Hello?
Reporter Lady- Hello, I am from the Wichita Eagle, and I'm looking for Adam Payne. Is he available, sir?
PKA- He's not in right now, can I take a message?
PKA knows Adam doesn't want to go through with an interview with the paper, PKA wouldn't either if he just got out of prison. Too much to handle!
Jill- My name is Jill, he can reach me at 555-####.
PKA- Alright.
PKA pauses, acting like he is jotting down the phone number and her name.
PKA- I'll let him know, Jill.
Jill- Thankyou sir, have a good day.
PKA- You too.
PKA could care less, though. 'It doesn't hurt to be nice now and then', Ash would sometimes say to PKA.
PKA hangs up the phone back on the charger, as Ash looks up at PKA.
Ash- Another one? That was two in less than five minutes!
PKA- Its crazy, I know. But Adam, don't let your popularity get to you.. haha. We don't need to talk about this at all, because we aren't sure how Scott got you out of jail, and to tell you the truth, I don't think we SHOULD know.
Adam nods.
Adam Payne- Yeah, I understand. So, are we just gonna sit around all day or what?
PKA agrees with Adam, and starts to think outloud.
PKA- I sure as hell hope not, what can we do? Go bowl, bingo, movie..?
Ash- Movie, let's do that.
Adam Payne- Yeah man, sounds like a plan to me.
PKA- I gotta pick up a newspaper from QuikTrip though to see what's playing. But I'm sure we'll find something. Sounds good to me, unless we get cornered by reporters!
Ash slaps PKA on the arm jokingly.
Ash- Always gotta think negative.
PKA smiles and they both laugh as the scene fades to black.
