Leland Conrad, Attorney at Law, sitting in his Edmonton office. He is on the phone.
Conrad: Yeah, I know Bobby, but with you guys wrestling again, I could go back to law. And I can't practice in the States without passing the bar down there. ... (going cold) I don't know about how Kingston can, I don't want to talk about him. I'm asking how you guys are doing. ... Well, you need to do more to get the fans on your side. You've done it before, you can do it again. Just be creative.
Cut to Raleigh, North Carolina. "The Scottish Wrecking Machine" Al Thoes is on his cell phone, talking to Conrad. "The Irish Adonis" Bobby O'Brady is sitting at a lemonade stand. They have pitchers of frosty lemonade. T-Shirts. Pictures for autographs. Even some NAPW DVD's. But there's nobody around. It's eleven degrees out. Not cold. But not overly warm.
Thoes: Well, we thought we were being creative. But what we're trying doesn't seem to be working. And don't get me started on yesterday...
Cut to yesterday. Bobby has an old lady over his shoulder as he takes her across the street.
Lady: (smacking O'Brady with her purse) Put me down!
O'Brady: But I thought you wanted to go across the street?
Lady: No! My twin sister did! I was on my way home!
We see the lady's twin sister across the street, arms folded, looking very angry.
O'Brady: Oh. I wondered why you were fighting...
Cut back to present day.
Thoes: And then there was that dinner we tried to throw, but that didn't end well...
We cut back to a dining hall. Al and Bobby, both with nervous smiles on their faces. A huge portrait of Ric Flair adorns the wall behind them. A lot of angry wrestling fans glare at them...
O'Brady: I'm sure he's just stuck in traffic...
Cut back to the present.
Thoes: Thank the good Lord he did show up or we'd be dead now. And don't get me started on our visit to the Hurricanes dressing room. ... I mean, how were we to know they missed the playoffs? They're the defending Stanley Cup champs! I thought Brind'Amour would have more of a sense of humor... Yeah, all right Leland. We'll keep trying. But I'm not sure how well this will work out.
Thoes turns off his phone.
O'Brady: So. When do we pack it in?
Thoes: I'd say...
He pauses. A man and his kids have surrounded their table, eying the merchandise.
Thoes: I'd say if we give up now, we'll never make it in REBEL. And I think those Rebel tag belts would look good around our waists Tuesday night. And I think we owe the Foundation for the cheap win they got over us back in August. And I think that wee one there has his eye on that T-Shirt. Am I right?
A shy smile from the child. O'Brady grins and hands the kid a T-shirt.
Thoes: Yeah. I think we can make things work here.
Fade to black.
