[The scene opens with Bombtrack and Matt Starr running down a street in Atlanta. BT is about twenty feet ahead of Starr because of Starr’s rib injury, and stops. He twirls around while pointing down to the ground, then squints his eyes and uses his fingers to spread his eyes apart as a child would to make fun of a Chinese person. Starr stops in his tracks absolutely confused at what Bombtrack just did.]
Matt Starr What?
[Again, BT twirls while pointing at the ground and chinks his eyes.]
Matt Starr I don't know what that means?
Bombtrack Turn down the next alley!
Matt Starr How was I supposed to know that from what you did?
[Matt Starr has caught up with Bombtrack and holding is his ribcage.]
Matt Starr Seriously, what was that?
Bombtrack I turned, pointed down and chinked my eyes. Turn down the next alley. How did you misunderstand that?
Matt Starr That's really racist BT.
Bombtrack How? A chink means a narrow opening. I figured you've flipped through a thesaurus.
Matt Starr That explanation makes it even more racist and nobody actually reads a thesaurus. They just hold shift and press F7.
Bombtrack Well are we going to hide down this alley or what?
Matt Starr I don't think that's necessary. They aren't chasing us anymore anyway and thanks for leaving me behind by the way. Real nice.
Bombtrack I'm sorry man. I saw them coming and I panicked. I didn't know what to do, so I ran.
Matt Starr A shout out would've been nice.
Bombtrack I did not expect them to react like that at all.
Matt Starr Neither did I.
EARLIER THAT DAY
[We find ourselves at a Country Kitchen restaurant. Bombtrack and Matt Starr are sitting at a table seemingly enjoying a plate from the buffet. The highlight of the breakfast is the world famous tea that Country Kitchen offers. Apparently no one boils water and sticks a bag full of leaves into a cup better than they do. BT and Matt are in middle of a conversation. Let's join them shall we?]
Bombtrack I just don't know what his problem is Matt. I thought he would listen to you of all people.
Matt Starr The last thing I expected Gavin to do was walk out on me. After all the years we've known each other and after all we've been through together for him to walk out on me like that was an insult.
Bombtrack Yeah that was cold.
[A group of obnoxious teenagers are pointing at BT and Starr and laughing. They must be James Stall and Nightmare fans.]
Matt Starr I’ve seen the best and the worst of Gavin and the way he’s acting now is worse than ever.
Bombtrack So what can I do Matt? I just feel so… helpless.
Matt Starr Gavin is the kind of guy that will never admit to needing help no matter how rough of shape he may be in. He’ll reject your help and make you suffer for even offering it.
Bombtrack How can he ever be happy if he lives his life like that?
Matt Starr Oddly enough I think he is happy living his life like that.
Bombtrack He’s a danger to himself Matt.
[The teenagers are loudly making jokes about Matt Starr and Bombtrack being a gay couple, but the superstars remain professional and continue their conversation as if they can’t hear the teens making fun of them.]
Matt Starr You’re probably better off leaving him be.
Bombtrack A wise man once said, “He who has the ability to act on an injustice, but who stands idly by, is just as guilty as he who holds the knife.”
Matt Starr The sin of omission.
Bombtrack That’s exactly it Matt. I have to save him or I am a sinner and Lord knows I don’t need to commit any further sins.
[The teens are gathering up small projectile objects.]
Matt Starr You have my number and you can call or text anytime you need advice. I want to help Gavin too, but I’m not much use with this nagging injury.
Bombtrack How is rehab going on that by the way?
Matt Starr Really well thanks. I think a couple more months and I’ll be as strong as ever.
Bombtrack That’s good to hear Matt. NEW could really use some dedicated talent right now.
Matt Starr Don’t look now, but that group of teenagers looks like they’re up to no good.
[Of course Bombtrack turns around to look at the teens even after Starr specifically asked him not to.]
Teenager What are you looking at bitch?
[BT takes the high road and turns back to Matt Starr.]
Bombtrack I remember being that age. They’ll grow up one day. How are you enjoying the tea?
Matt Starr I’m not really a tea drinker, but I’ll admit that you were right when you said Country Kitchen has amazing tea. As for the food?
[Matt makes a face that indicates the food was subpar. On the subject of subpar, how come people use that expression when describing something isn’t very good? Last I checked under par in golf is a great score. Questions? Comments? Concerns?]
Bombtrack No good?
Matt Starr You tell me.
[Matt picks up a pancake from his plate and slams it against the table. The pancake shatters into pieces.]
Bombtrack A little overcooked huh?
Matt Starr A little? It’s a rock!
Bombtrack My egg is overcooked too.
Matt Starr That’s because it’s hard boiled.
Bombtrack I don’t know what that means and I won’t respond to it.
[Matt takes a sip of tea from his cup while looking at Bombtrack oddly.]
Bombtrack I never said Country Kitchen had good food.
[The old woman sitting behind Bombtrack turns around and addresses Matt Starr.]
Old Woman Excuse me, but the food here is exquisite and I would appreciate it if you keep your comments to yourself.
Matt Starr With all due respect Mam, I was speaking with my friend at a normal volume level and you eavesdropped.
Old Woman Show some respects to your elders Sonny!
Matt Starr I was and I’m sorry that I don’t find the food here to be very good. Maybe it’s just me, but I prefer my pancakes to not double as a Frisbee.
[Matt picks up the other pancake from his plate and gently tosses it into the air showing how it could be used as a Frisbee. The pancake lands on the table and shatters like glass.]
Bombtrack Yeah and my egg is overcooked. Look!
[BT throws the egg and it shatters a window in the restaurant.]
Bombtrack What the heck?
Matt Starr I told you it was hard boiled.
[The teens that were giving Bombtrack and Starr a hard time immediately stand up and leave the restaurant as the old woman stands up from her seat.]
Old Woman I told you boys to respect your elders!
[Bombtrack’s eyes jump out of his head; not literally, as he sees a gang of elderly people start approaching his and Matt’s table from behind Matt. BT panics, stands up and runs out of the restaurant screaming in a usually high pitched tone. Starr is confused as to what is happening and he stands up from his seat.]
Old Woman We’re going to teach you a lesson on how to treat your elders.
Matt Starr We?
[Matt turns around and sees the mob of seniors very gingerly making their way over to him with their canes raised in the air. The scene fades as Matt storms out of the restaurant in a similar fashion that Bombtrack did.]
THE NEXT DAY
[The brave Bombtrack went back to Country Kitchen the next day to apologize for breaking the window and to pay for the damages. He ran into the same group of seniors that were ready to beat him and Starr to death and made amends with them. Now Bombtrack sits alone in a booth sipping on a cup of tea with a plate of chocolate chip cookies beside him.]
Bombtrack Well this should be fun huh? The two top billed matches for Fear Itself colliding on NEW TV. The good guys verses the bad guys and to the victor goes the spoils. I've been blessed with the opportunity of working with the World Heavyweight Champion and more importantly than that I have the opportunity to make a new friend. I've never had the pleasure of formally meeting Priest and it’s a shame. He’s a delightful man from what I’ve seen and heard. I suppose I’ll take this time to congratulate you on winning the NEW World Heavyweight Championship. A lot of people are saying that you were practically handed the belt, but what does it matter? You’re a dedicated member of our organization and a World Champion that the young fans of NEW can look up to. You just may be that hero that NEW needs.
Carrying that title can also be a burden Priest. I’ve seen great men turn into tyrants once that strap is around their waist or slung over their shoulder. Thus far it seems to me like you’re trying to bring some credibility back to the Championship and I admire that. I have a tremendous amount of respect for you Priest and I feel that respect will translate well when we’re partners at NEW TV 52. In front of us are two guys that were successful last week and looked good while doing it. We have a mountain to climb Priest and the only way we’ll make it to the top is if we work as a team. James and Gavin have shown the world what they can do as team and now it’s our turn. Let’s give our fans something to cheer about as we head into Fear Itself. Sound peachy?
[BT picks up a cookie, dunks it into the tea and mashes it into his mouth. Chunks of cookie get stuck in his beard as he stuffs the cookie into his mouth.]
Bombtrack James this will mark our second encounter and I bet you're really excited. I know that it eats you up inside that you succumbed to defeat in our war on the inaugural NEW Main Event. I just want to tell you that you made a tremendous effort and you have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. I’m very proud of the fortitude you gave in the match and even more proud that you didn’t make up excuses as to why you lost. You’re growing up so fast right before my eyes James. The last time we tangoed, I said you had graduated from diapers to pull-ups and after taking your loss like a man I think you’ve graduated again. Yes that’s right James, I’ve taken the plastic sheet of your bed! You’ve proven that you can have a dry night when you put your mind to it. Congratulations kid!
A win over the “legendary” Bombtrack is a goal on your bucket list that you want to cross off so badly. Why is it so important to you to defeat me James? You have a long list of impressive victories and so many more in your future. Why is my name so important? Believe me when I tell you that obsession is a disease. I was obsessed with Jimmy Helmsley and where did that get me? Sure I won the World Heavyweight Championship, but I lost it in my first defence and to whom you ask? Jimmy Helmsley of course. My obsession with the man made me blind to his incredible talent. That’s why I lost James and that’s why you will lose to me again. Here’s a portion of a song that I hope motivates you to be the best James Stall that you can be.
“Amazing Grace How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost But now am found Was blind, but now I see”
[A waitress walks past BT, tops up his cup of tea and notices the mess on his face from the cookie.]
Waitress Would you like a napkin Sir?
Bombtrack For what?
[The waitress smiles and leaves a few napkins on the table, which Bombtrack ignores.]
Bombtrack Gavin you should also heed those words because you haven’t exactly been the poster child for chastity. You’ve been accumulating deadly sins day by day and your soul is starting to deteriorate. I know that you think the world is against you, but that’s simply not the case Gavin. Believe it or not God has a plan for everyone and that includes you Nightmare. God doesn’t punish those who do not deserve it. All the pain and suffering you’ve been feeling are not God’s fault. Alison didn’t leave you Gavin; you pushed her away and blame everyone except for the person that is truly responsible. Do I really need to tell you that person was you Gavin? You are the one to blame for her leaving. It wasn’t her choice, or your fathers’; you made the choice Gavin. You pushed her away and are looking for someone, ANYONE else that you can pin it on.
So you know what Gavin? Frig it! It was my fault, ok there you go. Now you have someone to pin it on. Strike me down with your hate and frustration until it’s all out of your system. It’s ok, I’m a big boy and I can take it. If beating me senseless will help you find the light then have at me. Choose your weapon and do what you will with it. If sacrificing my body will bring light into your life I’ll do it. I’ve been in NEWera for well over two years now and I know that we’ve more or less never spoken a word to each other, but that doesn’t mean my concern for you isn’t real. If I had one wish, it would be for us to settle everything without violence, but it seems like that’s going to be nearly impossible to avoid.
For 14 years I’ve let my actions inside the ring settle my differences. I only knew of violence and didn’t even try to settle matters with my words. I’ve grown Gavin and learned that words are so much more powerful than actions. There’s still a lot of time between now and Fear Itself and I know that I’ll be praying you’ll see the error of your ways before then. I understand that you feel you’re in deep and the water is above your head drowning you. The reality is, I’ve thrown you a life preserver and all you need to do to survive is grab hold of it. Don’t be afraid to accept the help that’s being offered to you. You have a lot to think about Gavin and I leave you with a haiku that I wrote just for you.
I love you Gavin And I don’t want to fight you It’s never too late
[The scene fades to black as Bombtrack shoves another cookie into his mouth.]
