Ain't That The Truth

Scene Opens

Maple Street Cleaners

Monday 5:15 p.m.

 

****

Smokin' Joe Seward patiently waits in the small cleaners shop.

He wears a Miller Lite T-Shirt and jeans

A young kid comes from the back of the store

With Joe's suit and several ties wrapped in plastic

The young kid takes the ticket and hands it to Joe

****

Young Kid - That will be thrity dollars sir. We cleaned everything up nice and had everything pressed really well for you.

****

Joe gives a smile

****

Joe - I'm a busy man nowadays. I need my suits all shined up and I need my ties looking their sharpest.

****

The young kid instantly recognizes the voice and looks up from the cash register

****

Young Kid - Smokin' Joe Seward!

Joe - Hopefully you werent expectin' someone else.

Young Kid - Oh man! The UWA Hardcore Champion, standing in Maple Street Cleaners. WOW!

****

The young kid drapes Joes clothing over the counter as Joe reaches into his pocket for his wallet

****

Young Kid - What in the heck are you doing here?! I mean picking up your clothes yes, but you know what I mean.

Joe - Yeah, I gotcha. Well, I be actually on my way cross the county. Im headin' towards Omaha Nebraska for Rampage this comin' Thursday.

****

The young kid ponders the thought of Thursday Night Rampage

****

Young Kid - Wow! Thats cool man!

Joe - What do I owe ya for the clothes?

Young Kid - Nothing dude.

Joe - Nothin'?

Young Kid - Nothing. Oh well wait. An autograph?

****

The young kid tears a piece of paper out of a notebook setting on the table

Joe takes out his pen

****

Joe - What be your name kid?

Young Kid - Matt.

****

And so Joe signs

Matt
keep up the good work
honored you be a fan
best of luck now
Smokin' Joe Seward

****

Matt - Wow, thanks Joe!

Joe - You be welcome! Keep an eye out for me on Rampage now!

Matt - I will. And now I can say I've pressed a superstars suit and tie!

****

Joe lets out a hearty laugh

****

Joe - Peace!

Matt - Peace!

****

Joe steps out on to the sidewalk of Maple Street

The day is cool

There is a seventy percent chance of rain this particular afternoon

The clouds move in

****

Joe - By golly, I best get my top up on the ol' T-Bird before it starts ta pour rain everywhere.

****

With his suit and ties slung over his back in the plastic, Joe makes his way to a city lot.

In the last parking space sits a yellow 2003 Ford Thunderbird

The interior smells new

And the tires shine from a fresh coat of Armor All.

****

Joe - Holy Smokes! If it rains, my wash job is gonna be worthless.

****

Just then, a young, brunette, college gal, wearing a tank top and athletic shorts, riding a mountain bike, through the parking lot, spots Joe as he walks to his T-Bird.

She quickly rides over and stops her bike

****

College Gal - Oh my goodness!

Joe - Huh?

College Gal - Your Smokin' Joe Seward! Right? I mean, do you know who you are!

Joe - I think so.

College Gal - Your my favorite in all the world! I need an autograph, oh my, Tina will be so jealous! Can I have an autograph?!

Joe - Sure, let me get my pen.

****

Joe reaches into his pocket and produces the same pen

The young college gal reaches into a small, zipper, pouch on the front of her bike and reveals a piece of paper

****

College Gal - I will treasure this paper.

Joe - Okay, let me see now here. Follow me over ta my car. I'll sign it there for ya.

****

Joe walks over to his T-Bird and tosses his clothes in the backseat

The college gal rides over

****

Joe - What be your name?

College Gal - Rhonda.

****

Joe puts the paper down on the hood of the car and signs

To Rhonda
keep watchin
best wishes always now
Smokin' Joe Seward

Joe hands the paper back to Rhonda

****

Joe - There ya go!

Rhonda - I love you!

****

Rhonda leans over her mountain bike and gives Joe a small kiss

Joe laughs

****

Joe - Whoa! You take care now Rhonda.

Rhonda - I will. And just think about me if you get lonely at night. Thanks for the autograph! Tina will flip!

Joe - I will now. And you be most welcome now.

****

Rhonda rides off

****

Joe - Man, I'm old enough ta be her father. Gee Joe, ya sure do have some fans alright.

****

Joe hops into his T-Bird and turns the key

The motor can be heard as Joe pulls out onto Maple Street

On his way to Rampage

All the way across the country

And up above

The rain clouds have now suddenly cleared away
