"You got a hold of him?"
"Yeah. Took long enough."
"What'd he say?"
(Fade up. Another eatery, though this is more "slighty upscale restaurant" as opposed to "greasy diner." The booths are jammed with loud kids, straight from the bar. Static and "the Mayor" are sitting side-by-side on floor-mounted stools, "the Mayor" with a mouthful of chicken cutlet, Static sipping coffee. He's checking his cell phone again after presumably clicking it off, looking slightly annoyed.)
STATIC: Typical inaudible nonsense, what do you expect from that brute? I think somewhere in there, he managed to choke out something about how I have no chance to beat Ravager, he's not going to let me win, blah blah. This is to ensure him a title shot in the future or something.
FLEMING: Huh. You wouldn't give him a title shot if you won?
STATIC: That harpy? Lobo doesn't deserve to sniff that belt, next thing you know he'll be drooling all over it, and finish is expensive to redo! What kind of world is this, I've beaten the man in the center of the ring and he's the one who's going to decide my demise.
FLEMING: Huh.
(Moment of silence. It's been a long day.)
FLEMING: You know man, I haven't been in this business for long. Not long at all. But I can tell you this from years of watching wrestling: the cream's going to rise to the top somehow. Stone Cold versus HBK with Tyson as the guest ref? Stone Cold pulled it out. Later on, Stone Cold's title matches with one of the McMahons as guest ref? Again, Stone Cold pulled it out.
If it's one thing I learned when Ravager was blindfolding me, throwing me in his trunk, tying me upside-down from a hotel room ceiling fan, it's this: you know, this guy's not that bad a guy! Well, I mean, he knows what's up. He was on TV earlier, and I think that he wants this to be a fair fight just as much as you do.
STATIC: Hm. You may have been elected under conspicuous circumstances, but you have a point, the Mayor.
FLEMING: Of course, there's always the possibility that Lobo will forget which of you is which.
STATIC: Heh. Indeed.
(Static gets up to leave.)
STATIC: I'm going home, Fleming. Do me a favor, call the Pres and tell him I'd like to meet with Ravager before the match... I want to see if there's iron in those honest words.
FLEMING: Will do, Static. I'll see you tomorrow.
(Out.)
