The camera opens as Merlyn and Eddie are in a ring set up in the alley. The midgets sit in front the ally not allowing the little children in to see them practice. A sign is posted up front. Autographs-$5000.
Kid-Please sir I just want Merlyn and Eddies autograph
The midget points to the sign and folds his arms. The other midgets throw spit balls at the kid. He runs away crying. Merlyn and Eddie throw each other around the ring.
Merlyn-So I’m sending my car to pick you up tomorrow.
Eddie-for what?
Merlyn-Didn’t you want to pick up liquor for the big party for Buff.
Eddie-Oh yeah
Eddie Irish whips Merlyn into the turnbuckle and runs into it as Merlyn gets out of the way.
Merlyn-Thanks for helping me prepare for my match. What is his name again?
Eddie-Who cares…
Merlyn- Oh yeah. I think we are back on track.
Eddie-We have a few things to take care of but yeah.
Merlyn twists out of a hold and puts one on Eddie and gets reversed again. They go back and forth trading holds.
Merlyn-Can I be the man of 1004 holds?
Eddie-I think that’s taken.
Merlyn-really? Who would think of that?
Eddie-Anyway. No hijinks tomorrow. Just beat him.
Merlyn-Of course. What else would I do?
Eddie-Can we at least be honest here?
Merlyn-Fine I’ll behave. Can one behave and be a vicious bastard then?
Eddie-in this case yes. I want that old ring veteran back. I know its in you somewhere.
Merlyn-I’ve been reminded by some folks of what I was. I’m working on it. It’ll come.
Eddie-On the bright side your t-shirts are selling real well.
Merlyn-Yeah thanks for designing it. I’ll have my company send you a check. Cardboard King? makes a great tshirt. My rent-a-box sales sky rocketed after that.
Eddie-If I thought money mattered to you I’d tell you no.
Merlyn-I have plenty of it. Who knew china would by so many of my filters. Besides why not share the wealth. You took me in when I needed help. Least I can do.
Eddie-whatever.
Merlyn and Eddie go over some new holds and how to get out of them. After shoving some little kids and midgets alike out of the way Talon comes to join them. Eddie rests on the turnbuckle as Merlyn and Talon twist each other around into pretzels.
