(The picture opens up in a park. The sun is setting in the distant sky as kids run about tossing a football. Two girls on roller blades rush by as Joe stis quietly on a park bench. He watches the water fountain in content before speaking to Jeremy Cundiff)
Joe - Oh sorry friend...I don't mean ta ignore ya.
Jeremy - This is a nice place.
(Jeremy puts his foot on the park bench and rests his elbow on his leg. He looks over to the group of kids playing with the football)
Jeremy - Yeah I like to sit around here. Every once in a while some good looking lades are here, but more importantly, it gives me a break from the pressures of the wrestling business.
Joe - Yeah, I hear ya there!
(Joe adjuts his tie in an effort to make it more comfortable. Finally he gets frustrated and loosens it off his neck)
Joe - That be much better...
Jeremy - So Rilo and Travis Williams huh. Hell in a Cell!
(Jeremy stands upright and brushes his sweater off.)
Joe - Yeah dude! Let me tell ya I gotta admit I am nervous about this one.
Jeremy - Your nervous?
Joe - I mean I knows I can wrastle aganist Williams and Rilo....but in a cell. Damn there be no way out say I get hurt.
Jeremy - Oh...
Joe - I ain't never fought in a match like this. An let's face it here now, I mean, I ain't facin' Masked Warrior and Al Sharp. I'm facin' Travis Williams and Rilo. These two dudes eat nails for lunch.
Jeremy - Well look at it this way Joe. You can either be scared and not fight. Then you give up a chance to be Hardcore Champion. Or you can accept the fact, yeah Hell in a Cell is rough, but walk in there and kick some serious ass.
(Joe watches a flock of birds fly over head as he heeds Jeremy's words.)
Joe - Ya know somethin' Jeremy?
Jeremy - What Joe?
Joe - Yous right! You is right! I am goin' in there on Friday night. An when the official locks the door...
(Joe stands up from the park bench, rolls his sleeves up and further loosens his tie)
Joe - I'm gonna throw Rilo a left!
(Joe swings left)
Joe - Then throw Williams a right)
(Joe swings right)
Joe - An' when it be said and done, Smokin' Joe Seward will walk out with his pride in his hand and possibly the Hardcore Strap.
Jeremy - Now your talking Joe! Now your talking!
(Scene fades as Joe returns to the bench. Joe and Jeremy continue their conversation further)
