The scene opens and we’re in the waiting room of a doctor’s office we see Mike Miller seated in one of the chairs. He’s wearing blue jeans a black hoodie he seems preoccupied as he skims through a magazine on his lap. Sitting next to him is his friend and PR manager Chris Bagwell dressed in his usual attire of a black suit he’s thumbing through his blackberry. Their seems to be an uncomfortable silence between the two. Mike finally shuts the magazine shut and he turns toward Chris and begins to speak.
Mike Miller: How many times do I have to apologize before you forgive me?
Chris Bagwell: Like I told you almost a hundred times already you don’t have to apologize for anything. You have a disease and it affects what you do no one can hold you accountable for your actions once that disease strikes.
Mike Miller: Come on Chris I know that’s what you say but I can tell something’s wrong with you you’re not looking at me the same as you did before.
Chris Bagwell: Mike what you did was horrible you not only ruined Christmas for a bunch of kids you set fire to a mall and assaulted a mall Santa Claus. You know how many favors I had to call in to keep you out of jail and to keep that out of the news.
Mike Miller: I already know what I did you’ve told me many times I don’t remember doing it and I really can’t believe that I did it horrifies me to know that my actions may have affected the lives of children around the world. I feel like shit for what I’ve done but I’ve come back here a place that I swore I’d never come back to. I’m trying to get better the least you can do is show some support.
Chris Bagwell: Support? Show some support?!?! What do you think I’m doing now huh? What do you think I was doing while keeping you out of jail and employed. You wonder why you keep getting nowhere in NEW how do you expect them to push you when they can’t trust that you will stay out of trouble? It’s always the same cycle with you Mike you begin to have some success and then you screw yourself over and over again the same thing happens never without any doubt. You’ll always be your own worst enemy.
Mike Miller: I know what I am Chris you don’t have to keep lecturing me over and over again I know the damage that I’ve done to my career and I know why I’ve never reached the heights that I’ve hoped to accomplish. That’s why this year is becoming my year I’m determined to make it so 2012 will be the year of Extreme it will be the year where Mike Miller places his name into the NEW history books. I don’t plan on just winning one title my goal this year is to win them all I’ve won the British Commonwealth I came close to the Television title and then instead of getting a shot at the North American title I got to babysit the boss’s niece. This year my journey to the top begins with Ivan Gurl “I can’t pronounce your last name” Vich. The man came into NEW as a monster and quickly he fizzled out, he was supposed to be involved in the Endurance match but due to his violation of the wellness policy he was replaced in the match. So now looking at Ivan I’m going to assume that he’s still on steroids so this match should be fun I’m expecting to take a little bit of a beating from this juiced up freak. But in the end even steroids can’t make up for the lack of talent Ivan has.
As Mike finishes speaking Chris is just staring at him with a blank expression on his face.
Chris Bagwell: What are you doing? Are you cutting a promo here in a doctor’s office you really are losing your mind.
Just before Mike can answer the door leading into the office opens and out walks a woman in a black skirt and white top.
Woman: Mike the Doctor is ready to see you.
Mike gets up and he shakes his head at Chris as he walks away and into the office as he gets in the woman closes the door and she opens another leading to the office of Dr. Leo Oceans. He is seated at his desk and as Mike walks in he gets up to greet Mike. He is wearing a blue suit and he shakes Mikes hand as he enters the office.
Dr. Oceans: Mike long time no see huh you didn’t keep up our agreement and look what happens.
Mike Miller: No need to say I told you so Doc I know you were right.
Dr. Oceans motions to the sofa for Mike to take a seat, he does and Dr. Oceans takes a seat on the chair across from him.
Dr. Oceans: So Mike Chris told me about everything that happened at the mall. Do you have anything you want to say about it?
Mike Miller: Not really it’s not something that I was proud of and if I could have prevented it I would have but as you know he has a mind of his own.
Dr. Oceans: He certainly does, would you mind telling me how you felt right before he came on?
Mike Miller: The last thing I remember is the mall Santa questioning whether I deserved a title shot then nothing till I woke up a mile away from the mall in a bar.
Dr. Oceans: Mike you were feeling anger correct the moments before the change?
Mike Miller: Yeah I was I was pissed of that this mall Santa was telling me I didn’t deserve a title shot in NEW. He was telling me that I wasn’t worth shit in NEW and that I pissed away my chance at Challenger Series.
Dr. Oceans: You were insulted you felt slighted and then the change occurred?
Mike Miller: Yes I was angry I felt disrespected why would this guy think I didn’t deserve a shot. That’s all I’ve ever asked for since I came into this business a shot a chance and when I get it I’ll prove that you’ve made the right choice. But no this guy had to push my buttons and insult me straight to my face I didn’t want to hurt him but then he came and he destroyed things…
Dr. Oceans: Listen Mike I understand, but I need you to understand something although you can’t control your alternate personality once it flips you can prevent it from occurring to begin with. You need to control your emotions obviously this personality is triggered by anger, hate and jealousy. Mike if you can’t learn to control it you’re just going to end up here again and again and it’s just a matter of time before you really hurt someone and leave them with permanent damage.
Mike has a look of desperation in his eyes.
Mike Miller: Doc if I could do anything to stop it I would but I can’t I’ve tried to control myself but my emotions get the best of me and lead me into these situations. I’m an emotional person and after all I’ve been through you can’t just expect me to change overnight my emotions make me who I am a while ago I lost my emotions I was going through life blind to anything and everything. I was part of a hateful group but I didn’t feel any hate no hate no love just nothing. I felt nothingness envelope me night after night even when I had my biggest accomplishment here in NEW of winning the British Commonwealth Championship although I put on the fake smile for the cameras at the end of the day when I went to sleep in my lonely hotel bedroom that smile was gone and replaced by the blank expression that clouded my life day after day. It’s when I let my emotions back that this all began to happen but it’s also when I began to feel alive again. I’m not willing to give up my emotions right now they’re one of the only things I have left so if you feel the need to commit me again I won’t stop you but I can’t change who I am again I won’t change.
Dr. Oceans takes a couple of seconds before speaking.
Dr. Oceans: Mike I’m not going to commit you and I don’t want to take your emotions from you I just want to help you control them to stop you from hurting anyone ever again. That’s all I want to do now that’s enough for today but we need to continue these meetings at your discretion but for your safety and the safety of others as soon as possible.
Mike stands up and walks towards Dr. Oceans.
Mike Miller: Thank you Dr. you should expect to see me again.
Dr. Oceans shakes Mikes hand.
Dr. Oceans: I hope so…
Mike turns to leave and he walks out of the office leaving us with Dr. Oceans who has a worried expression on his face we fade to black on that expression.
