[Scene: We open up in the gym a few blocks away from Blind Willie's Bar. Within its confines we find many muscled men and women working out. Machine metal clanks and bangs against each other as they get their work out in. Off in the distance the camera sees Chris Cortez benching some of his own as the camera heads on over. As the camera gets closer, the mic on the camera picks up on their conversation.] Syd: Ok, 98...99...C'mon! Chris Cortez: AAARRRRGGG! Syd: 100! Good Job! Rest a little, then we'll continue [Instead of laying down and resting a bit, Chris Cortez gets up and pours a bottle of water on him and drinks what is left.] Chris Cortez: Sleep is for the weak my friend. C'mon! How bout we run around the block a few times, C'mon! Let's do it! [As Chris is about to run away, Syd stops him] Syd: Woah, Woah, Woah! Calm down there champ! Chris Cortez: How ironic is it that you just called me champ? Heh, not ironic at all, I say. Why? I'll tell you why, because right now, your looking at the NEXT LSW World Heavyweight Champion!

You will come face to face with me, THE TRUE TALENTED SUPER MEGA STAR, CHRIS CORTEZ and you will BEG FOR MERCY! [Chris Cortez punches and kicks more and more as suddenly the bag falls off of its hinges and falls to the ground. Chris Cortez looks down at it as he whips away sweat on his head and then shakes his head. Everyone around looks at him as he seems to have come out of his trance as Syd looks at him.] Gym Manager: What the hell is going on here?! Muscle Guy: That little squirt punched and kicked that bag down, kid's fucking nuts! Muscle Girl: Yeah, man, what power! [The Muscle Girl smiles at Chris Cortez as he looks over and winks at her as the Muscle Guy looks at both of them and just laughs a bit] Muscle Guy: Ahh, I could have done that! Gym Manager: Well, at least no one got hurt, that's the main thing. Chris Cortez: Someone might not have gotten hurt today, Sir, but tomorrow, someone WILL be getting hurt. Not here though, no, I can guarantee you that. They will be getting hurt in the ring, down at Blind Willie's Bar, now THAT, I WILL guarantee you. Gym Manager: Riiiight...well, I suppose this bag falling down now was good overall in the end. Damn screws holding it to the roof have been loose for months now, just never really gotten around to fixing em. Oh well, looks like Ill have to now anywas. [The crowd starts to walk away, groaning, as they see it now as nothing special.] Muscle Guy: See, told you that little nothing was just that...nothing! I mean, look at these pecs! [The Muscle Guy flexes] Muscles Guy: That little nothing's exactly that, NOTHING, against these babies. [The Muscle Girl looks at his muscles and smiles as she looks spitefully at Chris Cortez] Muscle Girl: So, you want to go out for like, lunch, or something? Muscle Guy: Its a date. [The Muscle Guy takes the Muscle Girl in his arms as they leave, not before the Muscle Guy smiles a cocky smile at Chris Cortez] Chris Cortez: Damn steroid jockey. He's token so much of the stuff, he cant even clearly see and calculate it with his brain that I did indeed cause that bag to fall! Its the power of the punch, the power of the kick and the power of my TRUE TALENT! Gym Manager: Actually, I think its just the power of the loose screws. Chris Cortez: Ah, screw you. C'mon Syd, let's take a break for lunch ourselves. [Chris Cortez and Syd pack up their stuff and head out the door as the Gym Manager mumbles some choice words. The camera shuts off and the scene fades to black as the Gym Manager continues to pick up the mess from the fallen bag.] |
