If you do not tell the truth about yourself, you can't tell it about other people.

Weslaco, Texas

 

***The scene opens with a shot of Wilson’s small home on the upper east side of Weslaco Texas.  We can see Wilson’s car outside the front gate…but there also seems to be another car next to Wilson’s.  The scene moves inside the house to see Melissa Ipina sitting down with Wilson in the living room…***

 

WILSON:  …because of it he just couldn’t take it I guess.

 

MELISSA:  Why though?

 

WILSON:  Why what?

 

MELISSA:  Why do you think he couldn’t take it?  I mean he’s got a newborn little daughter.  He’s got his mother here.  He’s got you.  You would think he would have stayed for you.

 

WILSON:  If I had found out what he did.  Then I might flip out too.  Then again…maybe I wouldn’t have.  I’ve never been lied to in that way. 

 

MELISSA:  I guess your right.  Only, I do hope he comes back; maybe then we could just sit down with him and try to show him that it wasn’t that bad at what happened.

 

WILSON:  Oh no.  It was bad.  If someone did that to me and I found out, you bet your ass they’d be dead real quick like.  In some ways I think him leaving was the best thing for him…

 

***The scene cuts there and fades outside.***

9:41 am

Chapel Hill, Tennessee

 

***The scene reopens in a graveyard somewhere on the far end of the small town of Chapel Hill.  There stands David Dunn who is looking down upon a small tombstone in the far end of the graveyard.  The tombstone reads, “Wilson David Dunn Senior, Beloved Father and Husband.”  David looks on to the grave with a tear in his eye.  Slowly he swipes it away with one of his fingers.***

 

DUNN:  Father…it’s been awhile I guess.

 

***David kneels in front of the tombstone.***

 

DUNN:  You must be wondering why I’ve came here today.  I’m sorry for not coming sooner.  I just didn’t agree with the way you left this world.  To take your own life…what must have you been thinking.  I’ve thought about it.  Now more than ever it seems.  Yet, I haven’t.  I don’t know if it’s because I saw what you did and didn’t want to be yet another dead body in the curse of the Dunn family.  Or if something in me feels that it’s not my time yet.

 

Never the less I go on…how far will I go?  Will I Survive?  These are questions that are not yet answered.  I do know though…I will out live my father’s age.  It’s not a goal you see…more like something I just see happening.

 

***David lifts up from his father’s tombstone and lays back against it looking up into the sky.***

 

DUNN:  Everything comes to an end I guess.  Life, time, work.  It all ends one way or another.  Kind of like what happened with me in the SWF.  One day I just woke up to what alcoholics would call, a moment of clarity.  I realized with Till leaving DH and Brody still missing…I would stand much of a chance against the dozens of people I pissed off.  So I left.  I left to EWF.  I much lower standard if you will for my career.  God…why did I come here.  Back in the SWF I was wrestling such names as Strick Carrington and Tiger.  I walk into the offices of EWF to find out I’m facing some jackoff named Gabe Mason?  What is this amateur night all of a sudden?  What the fuck was the president thinking when he signed this match?  Goddamn fucking people.  Putting me in these loser matches.  Fuck Mason. 

 

I didn’t sign a contract with EWF to be dicked around.  I came here because a friend told me that this was a company that had talent.  Out of everyone here…Luke Wolf is the only one I see that shows anything to do with talent.

 

Well…I take that back.  He’s someone that could show talent.  Instead he walks around like the rest of the livestock.  Moo…

 

Look Luke there’s something you just don’t understand.  Your going through life as nothing more than a follower.  You look up to the guy in charge, suck his dick, and everything is alright.  You’re living the lie Luke.  You’re living the virus.  You need to open your eyes to the truth.  The truth that you could make more of what you are, than how you are right now.  If your like this when the time comes for you and I to go one on one…boy…I’m not going to hurt you.  I’m going to kill you.

 

 I’m sure your going to jump in with a reply, like, “I’m Luke Wolf, you can’t talk to me like that.”  Boy, shut your mouth. 

 

You are nothing Luke.  Nothing much a small pathetic little man that was once the best in the EWF.  Times have changed boy.  The GFF is now here.  A man that doesn’t care about how good you were or still think you are.  I’m a man that has lost everything.  I’ve been lied too.  Beaten to the point of death.  Yet I still go on.  I will still go on long after your career has came to a crashing end.

 

Face facts little boy.  Your time is coming soon.  It may be today.  Tomorrow or after I win the X title.  But it will happen.  I will be coming for you.  Don’t bother praying…don’t bother trying to prepare.  Just know I’m coming for you…the saddest thing about that is…there is nothing, and I mean nothing you or any one else can do about it.

 

***Suddenly out of the shadows an old friend steps up behind David.  Quickly hearing the footsteps David turns around to see Chad Longoria.***

 

DUNN:  Oh…

 

***David turns back around.***

 

DUNN:  …it’s you.

 

***Chad steps up from behind David and places his hand on David’s shoulder.***

 

CHAD:  Yeah it’s me.  I knew I would find you here.

 

DUNN:  How?  I never been here before.

 

CHAD:  Just add up the facts.  One, this is the day your father died.  Two, after all the shit that’s happened in the past weeks I knew you were thinking about death.  More to the point, suicide.  I figured you would come here to Chapel Hill to see your father.

 

DUNN:  Great.  You figured it out.  Feel proud about yourself now?  Want a cookie or something?

 

CHAD:  No.  I just want to know what’s your deal.  You pack up and leave your family.  Your son Wilson.  Your newborn daughter Mary.  And your…

 

DUNN:  Just stop it right there Chad.  I don’t need to hear you go on and on about something that doesn’t mean shit to me any more.  I was lied to in the worst way.  Lied to for weeks.  Until finally I found the truth.  The truth about everything.  I learned why, the truth is a virus.

 

CHAD:  Your talking bullshit man.  Shit, haven’t I always been there for you man.  I managed your wrestling career at a time.  I was there when Wilson was born.  I was there for both your weddings.  Every time you got hurt I was standing at your bedside worried about your health.  I’m your friend.  Hell, I’m more like your brother than anything.

 

DUNN:  It’s a lie.  It’s all a lie Chad.  You just don’t get it.

 

CHAD:  A lie?  Are you calling our friendship a lie?  Everything we’ve been through, a fucking lie?  Is that it?

 

***David gets up off the ground.  He gets right in Chad’s face.***

 

DUNN:  You don’t get it.  You still haven’t figured it out yet.  Everything is a lie.  Everything.  You look at the world today and try to find something that’s true.  None of it is.  NONE!  I got my life fucked over right and left because I thought something was true.  But just like everything else in my life.  Just like everything in this world…it was nothing…but…a lie.

 

CHAD:  You don’t believe that…

 

***David pushes Chad on the ground.***

 

DUNN:  I do believe it…because it’s true.

 

***David walks away from Chad.***

10:02 am

Chapel Hill, Tennessee

 

***The scene reopens outside of the graveyard as David is walking away.  No one seems to be following him.***

 

DUNN:  Mason…your dead…period…as for you Luke…soon…very fucking soon…you will learn the ultimate lesson.  You’ll learn why the truth is a virus…

 

…Enough Said…

 

***The scene fades to black.***
