Confusing reality...
I see myself but it's not really me
How could it be?
When I am me?
I guess maybe it's just a dream
Things aren't what they seem
You're part of a sick joke!
Bad dreams controlling in this world
I see the depths of it my toes curl,
I feel so sick
I'm sick of this because I know I'm not asleep
I doubt my own dreams
although
I lie in my sleep
And don't sleep to dream
Yet everything that I see is haunting
Me
Things aren't what they seem
You're part of a sick joke!
***THE SCENE OPENS AT THE HOME OF DAVID
DUNN. ONE CAR IN THE DRIVE WAY AND THE
HOUSE HAS A SMALL FLICKER OF LIGHT. AS
WE ENTER YOU CAN SEE THE FLICKER OF LIGHT IS FROM THE TV. DAVID IS WATCHING THE ATTACK FROM
LLOYD. HE SITS IN HIS CHAIR WATCHING
THE ATTACK UNFOLD. HE FINISHES HIS
CIGARETTE AND PUTS IT OUT IN AN OVER-FLOWING ASH TRAY NEXT TO HIM. HE BEGINS TO REWIND THE TAKE WHEN THE PHONE
RINGS.***
DUNN: Whoever this is I’m not in the mood to talk.
I don’t care if it is.....
VOICE: I don’t want you to compare me to any one.
***DAVID
SITS STRAIGHT UP IN HIS CHAIR DROPPING THE REMOTE ON THE FLOOR.***
DUNN: I’m sorry. I just....its just.....
VOICE: I don’t care what it just is or what you
meant to say. You should know when I am going to call and you should know how
to respect what you fear.
DUNN: Its not enough that I am constantly made to
be one thing, but you are calling me saying what I should do and what I
shouldn’t. Isn’t enough that you have this habit of disappearing then
reappearing when ever the fuck you want to. In fact, you always call when it
safe for you to call. When you think you can help then you do nothing but fuck
with my head. I have enough trouble trying to convince people that I am what I
say I am.
VOICE: What is a "GFF"? I don’t agree with Dante much, but he is
right. That has got to be the dumbest nickname I have ever heard. Seriously
what the hell does it mean? Is it a bunch of mixed up words? Or is does it mean
there is someone at your front door?
***DAVID
SUDDENLY HEARS A KNOCK ON THE DOOR.***
DUNN: Who ever it is, go away! I’m dealing with something here!
***WHEN HE OPENS THE DOOR A FIGURE DRESSED
IN BLACK STANDS THERE. UNEXPECTING HE
PUT HIS HAND AROUND DAVID’S THROAT.***
WEIRD GUY:
When I tell you to respect me you fucking respect me. You know what I have done
in my life. You know what I have lost in my life? I have never had anything
where you sit atop of Mommy and Daddy’s money and jump around from bar to bar and
wrestling organization to wrestling organization. While I walk against the wind
and rain twenty four hours a day seven days a week because where ever I
go.......tragedy follows. Then what do they do? The point at the freak. The
point at the one who is different. Even four years ago. You remember four years
ago David. The day that you slipped and fell from grace. The day that you had
one too many lines. Remember that David. That girl overdosed. And who was to
blame? WHO DAVID?? That’s right me. The guy who never fits in because of the
scars. The one who can’t stay in one place too long because everyone wonders
what will happen next and who will be the next to die. If you have paid
attention to my life you know that where I go people die. Not by my hand, but
fate. You were my student. They paid me to be your teacher. Look at you. I gave
you the tools to become a bringer of fear, yet you are nothing but a joke.
Everyone looks at you that way, just as I do.
DUNN: Okay, Mr. Death and Despair. You want to
talk about respect? Where in the fuck were you after I slipped back and thought
I was going to kill myself. Where were you when I needed help? When the Union
was fucking me up week after week? You always told me after I saved you
fucking, worthless life that you owed me one. Well fucker where is it huh?
Where is bird boy?
WEIRD
GUY: Those times where character
builder. You need to go through that. I went through plenty of shit before I
accepted what I was. I was Wilson David Dunn. I was your lackey. I was your
bitch. But when it all came to pass, I was what Heaven never wanted me to
be........I was David Austin. And know I am here to not only beat the living
shit out of you, but finish your training.
***THE
SCENE REOPENS AFTER HOURS HAVE PASSED.
INSIDE THE HOUSE THE LIVING ROOM IS WRECKED. HOLES IN THE WALL, FURNITURE TURNED OVER, BUT YET THE ASHTRAY IS
STILL FULL WITH DAVID AUSTIN STUFFING OUT THE CIGARETTES. DUNN IS SITTING NEXT TO HIM A LITTLE BEAT UP
SMOKING AND STARTS TO REACH FOR THE ASHTRAY BUT LOOK AROUND AND JUST PUTS IT
OUT ON THE WALL.***
DUNN: Okay. I see your point. But why in the hell
now?
AUSTIN: Because now is the time that you end the
joke that you call your life. Not only did you lose your first match back, but
now you have to fight a joke couple of jokes passed off as men named Malice and
Jay. I believe if you get rid of this attitude that you have always had you
will do better than usual in your fight. You have to be on your toes. Dante is
waiting in the distance.
DUNN: True, I need a victory, but Jay? Why should
I worry about him. He’s done nothing.
However,
Malice on the other hand is not worried about the win, he’s more worried about
my ass and what he can put in it. That is kind of scary but when you look at
it, that’s him. I’m not going to go and bash him because of his lifestyle, hell
I use to hang around with you and you aren’t an alter boy exactly. But Malice
needs to realize that I am not going to sit back and watch has he of all people
defeats me. I’m looking to start this thing now. I’m looking to make him a
example for Dante, for Dehart, for Ego, for anyone who decides that they need
to be something by using me as a joke. For once I see where you are coming from
Austin. For once I need to take myself seriously. Especially if I plan to make
Dante’s world and living hell. He thinks he has his hands full now with people
like Trent and Ego, but me, he will just have to deal with the hand he is
dealt. I know that after I defeat Jay and Malice, I will be hunting Dante.
Malice and Jay are just a door that I have to go through to make sure that
Dante understands the pain he brought me.
But on the
subject of Malice. In my opinion, I don’t know if what he portrays him self to
be is actually him. It could be a mind game, however, I have a game of my own.
I wonder if Malice has any idea what I can actually do. I plan on making his
life hell. Not by beating him up, but by messing with his head. It’s not about
how much physical pain you can take, but how much mental pain you can handle. I
know what I am capable of. I know that I can turn your inner thoughts into a
fear that has no boundaries. I know that I can turn all your nightmares and
fears into something that is a reality. I know that once he takes the ride over
to where I live all the time, he will never be the same. Who knows what can
happen. He may end up like Dehart. He could end up like me. Or, he can end up
living in the prison that is his mind. No longer will he nor anyone doubt what
I can do. For now Malice bask in the light of life, because when I come around,
life will fall into the darkness of your mind.
But Dante,
I plan to mind fuck you like you have never been before. Sure you have your
little boys, but they are nothing to compared to what I have been shown. What I
have lived is nothing but pure comedy. Now the comedy is over. The life I lead
will change. From this moment on, its a serious game of cat and mouse. Fuck
your power, and fuck what you stand for. I no longer live by the rules you lay
down. You want me gone and that is just tough shit. I am David Dunn. Not god,
not the GFF, but I am the man that will strike fear in your heart and your mind. I’m fucking
sick and tired of living in your world. It is time to live in mine and relish
in the life that has become nothing. Since I understand that I am nothing, then
you must know that I have nothing to lose. So from here on out its a whole new
game. Send your fucking lackey on me. You sent Lloyd on me to get rid of me.
All he did was piss me off. All he did was make me want to kill you more and
more. And when I say kill I’m not talking about ending your life, but I will
take something that is more important to you.....your POWER. You are nothing
without your little army you have, or your fucking title. One day it will be
revealed on why I am here. For now, watch your back. Look over your shoulder.
Pray you don’t meet me anywhere on the face of this worthless planet. Because
like I said, I have nothing to lose and you have everything to be afraid of
losing. Jay and Malice will not stop me. In fact, I think its time I play the
next hand.
Now if you will excuse me Austin, I have some business to attend to.
AUSTIN: David, I know the steps you are taking. Once
you to this....that’s the way it is.
DUNN: Then so be it.
***THE
SCENE REOPENS TO A SHOT OF DAVID DUNN IN A WAITING ROOM IN A HOSPITAL. A DOCTOR WALKS OUT OF HIS OFFICE RIGHT AS
DAVID JUMPS OFF HIS CHAIR.***
DUNN: WHAT’S WRONG WITH ME?!
***THE
DOCTOR LEANS OVER AND PLACES HIS HAND OVER DAVID’S RIGHT SHOULDER.***
DOCTOR:
That’s what were here to find out now isn’t it?
***THE SCENE FADES TO BLACK.***
