The scene opens inside of a fine dining restaurant in Cleveland Ohio. The restaurant is packed with families, single tables, and business meetings everyone in coat and tie, or children wearing there Sunday best. As the camera pans to the front of the establishment we can see a greeter wearing a black and white tuxedo seating guests. There is a small two person table seated in the center of the restaurant with a reserved sign on it. The greeter checks his book, the restaurant nearly full, with only Roberts reserved table available. He looks at his watch seeing that Roberts party is not set to arrive for another half hour decides to seat a young couple at the table in hopes that something will open up before Roberts arrives.
This was probably not a smart idea by the greeter but we will get back to that after a short little bit, after all Roberts and Monie are not here yet so what’s the harm right? Well as you wonder that think back to the flight, the last time we saw Roberts and Monie. They was leaving Norfolk Virginia on a private flight, time and time again mocking the ridiculous things that Alistair Creed and Bobby Bishop find cool and frightful. But did they pick up on the sarcasm? Nope, if you don’t believe it just go back and watch a Alistair Creed promo, the guy is oblivious, he has the brain of a five year old. As far as Bishop well lets just say you shouldn’t let that guy use power tools.
With the restaurant now full, a line begins to form at the entrance of the building. The greeter puts everyone’s name on the list to be seated once something opens up but right now everything is full. Unfortunately for the greeter his most important guests for the evening have just arrived. Roberts and Monie walk in the door both in coat and tie and begin making there way to the front of the line. People are not happy about it but who cares. Roberts makes his way to the greeter and happens to see his table that he reserved a week in advance being occupied by a young couple. Just then a table two just opens up and the greeter appears to be saved from his horrendous mistake. Primetime: Let me ask you a question my good man. Greeter: Yes sir? Primetime: Did those two people reserve that table right there? Greeter: Well no but- Primetime: But what? Greeter: You are in luck a table just opened up. Primetime: A table opened up? Greeter: Yes, right this way sir. Primetime: Well that’s good that a table has opened up since I made these reservations over a week ago. Son, how much do you value your job? The three men still standing at the entrance, Roberts refusing to follow to the table. Greeter: Well, I value it very much sir thank you for asking. Primetime: The reason I ask, is because I am pretty sure I am going to have you fired. Greeter: Sir, please don’t make threats that you obviously can not deliver on. Primetime: Oh, I can not get you fired is that what you are telling me? Greeter: That’s what I am saying. Roberts begins to smile. Chad: Paul, really this is not necessary. Primetime: No, the man wants to see me deliver on my threat. My good man, do you realize that I am the most important guest of the evening? Well lets be honest I am probably the most important guest you guys will have the entire time this dump is open. Greeter: Sir, if you don’t lower your tone I will have you removed from the building. Primetime: Is that a fact? The greeter nods yes, and Roberts decides to try his luck. He walks over to the table that he reserved noticing that the man at the table is about to propose to the young lady dining with him. Primetime: Oh, isn’t that sweet. The greeter is getting more and more mad by the second. The man at the table turns and looks at Roberts angrily. Young Man: Do you mind? We are kind of in the middle of something. Primetime: No I don’t mind, in fact I just wanted to say that you are at my—hey is that a real diamond? Young Man: Not that its any of your business but yes it is. Primetime: Sure is small. What a piece of crap. Roberts slaps the ring out of his hands and the man stands up. Primetime: You don’t want to start something you cant finish just get up and leave my table. Young Man: I want to talk to a manager. The Greeter walks over and grabs Roberts by the arm. Chad just stands near the entrance shaking his head. Greeter: Sir I think it is time that you left. Roberts shoves the greeter to the floor and then nails the young man with a right hand to the face, the young man falls back over top of his chair and falls to the floor. A manager comes out to check and see what all the commotion is about and the greeter intercepts him trying to get Roberts kicked out of the restaurant. Manager: What is going on here??? Greeter: You need to call the cops boss, this guy just shoved me to the floor and assaulted a guest! Manager: Why is someone else at Mr. Roberts table? Roberts just looks on with a smile. Greeter: Um, this young man asked for a private table and Mr. Roberts was not set to arrive for another half hour I was just going to sit him at another table. Manager: Another table? Mr. Roberts reserved this particular table! You never bump Paul Roberts! Greeter: But— Primetime: He tried to have me thrown out. Manager: I think it is time you went home Henry. The manager says angrily. Greeter: But— Manager: I will cover your duties for the rest of the evening. Tomorrow we will have to have a conversation about important guests. The greeter swallows his pride and walks out of the building. The manager turns to the young man. Manager: Sir, let me show you to another table. The manager leads the young man, his pride and face bruised, to another table and Roberts sits down at the table. Monie, embarrassed comes over and sits down at the table with Paul. Chad: Was that really necessary Paul? Primetime: Yes, yes it was. I reserved this table and I expect to get the table that I reserved. Chad: We could have just sat at another table. Primetime: That’s the difference between me and you Chad, you settle for things, I go out and get what I want. Chad: Yeah, maybe I just don’t like making a scene in the middle of a restaurant. Primetime: Yeah, well sometimes you have to do what you have to do. We going to get down to business or what? Roberts begins looking at the menus that were left at the table by the previous couple. Chad: Yeah, whatever so first thing is first. Last week I was contacted by producers of the new Terminator film “Terminator Salvation”— Primetime: Let me stop you right there I’m not doing any movies that part of my life is behind me. Chad: But they want you to play John Connor. Primetime: I don’t care what they want, I’m done with that part of my career so tell them no. Chad: Okay, fine. Next Subway called wanting you to do a commercial. Primetime: Subway? What do they want me to say that I lost like 700 pounds on the Subway diet? No one would believe it, this amazing body doesn’t just magically form from eating sandwiches all the time. Chad: So that’s another no to that. Primetime: Yeah, no commercials. Unless it is the UWF wanting my face for there commercials. Chad: I hear you. Chad: Speaking of the UWF, have you spoken to Al Smash? Primetime: I told you Chad, I’m not going to meet with the guy. He hasn’t said a word yet all week, he is probably in the hospital. Chad: Well who knows, but you don’t want to go into that match without a partner. Primetime: Why not? I mean I am not against having one by any means, but it isn’t like we are facing tag team champions or anything. We are facing Creed and Bishop. It will be like fighting infants. I really don’t care if Smash shows up or not. Chad: You have a Universal title match coming up at Redemption you don’t want to be in a two on one beat down. Primetime: A two on one beat down? Why not? The match will be two on one, and I will be beating them down. Chad: No, that’s not exactly what I meant. Primetime: Details, details. Listen can we order I am hungry. Chad: I really think you need to give this match this week more thought. Primetime: Chad, this match is stupid, every time Creed and Bishop show up on TV they make themselves look ridiculous, they don’t need any help from me, you think for one second anyone expects them to win? Chad: Well, they are expecting to win. Primetime: Yeah, why wouldn’t they? They live in dream worlds where playing dress up and going trick or treating is scary and cool. Every time I see them on TV I just think they must have eaten paint chips as kids. Chad: You ever think for one second that Creed actually believes he is a vampire? Primetime: Oh yeah I am sure he does believe it, and that is what makes it so laughable. I don’t know about you Chad but I stopped playing monster about the same time as I stopped playing superhero, like when I was five. Chad: Well, that aside I think you should give them some credit, Creed did win last week, and Bishop beat Al Smash. Primetime: My point exactly if Smash couldn’t defeat Bishop do I really need to talk to him? I already beat “The Beast” and it wasn’t that hard to be honest. If he couldn’t get it done then he probably doesn’t deserve to be in this match anyway. Chad: You know I think Creed is crazy, it would appear that he is hearing voices. Primetime: It wouldn’t surprise me nothing in Creed’s or Bishop’s promos make any damn sense at all, it is a big jarbled mess. Now can we please order I am starving. Chad: Fine, but we are not done talking about this we really need to prepare for your match, and I think I know just how to do it. Primetime: Fine, after we eat we can talk. A waiter walks over to the table and begins to take there order, as the camera fades to black.
