SINCLAIRE: Sir there going into your office...(DOOR SWINGS OPEN AS KALEB AND MALIK CRASH THROUGH THE DOOR FURIOUSLY, KALEB TAKES LEAD AND WALKS TO BOOKMAN'S DESK, LEANS IN POINTING AT BOOKMAN)
KALEB: Are you kidding me ...Are you out your dam mind..after that sowcase we put on, you leave us off your PPV card..Your a joke
BOOKMAN...(DRINKS ALL OF HIS PELLEGRINO AND FINISHES IT, HE WIPES HIS MOUTH WITH THE BACK OF HIS HAND SITS THERE AND IN SECONDS LETS OUT A BURP)
BOOKMAN: Excuse me...have a seat
KALEB: Screw you, I won't have a seat
BOOKMAN: Ok stand, but the seats as you know are very comfortabl..plus they say when someone is really upset standing will only make then light headed unable to focus...
(KALEB LOOKS IN)
BOOKMAN: Have it your way...Well Gentleman, the truth is, you lost..and With that loss was a message loud and clear that you move to the back of the line...and I think not being put in the card is as back of the line as you can get.
KALEB: Listen JACK!
BOOKMAN: Bookman to you
KALEB: I think we proved we could hang with any tag team you throw at us. Did you hear that crowd during our match...people want to see us. Don't take that away..aren't you about business..and doing what's right for it
BOOKMAN: Truth is there isn't anyone to face you guys, everyone has matches
MALIK: Bookman, we'll face anyone, anywhere, anytime
(BOOKMAN LOOKS AT THEM WITH A LOOK THAT SAYS HE'S THINKING SOMETHING UP)
KALEB: Hell give us Grunge, and who ever else he ain't on the card
BOOKMAN: For good reasons..if you didn't noticed Grunge suffered a neck injury, MRI shows nothing is broken but there were some injuries that won't allow him to compete for a few weeks
(AT THAT MOMENT SINCLAIRE CALLS IN)
SINLAIRE: THERE HERE SIR
BOOKMAN: Send them in
(KALEB AND MALIK LOOK AT EACH OTHER AS DNA WALKS IN)
ANTON: Well if it isn't Ebony and Ivory...
BOOKMAN: Gentlemen, let's all relax
(KALEB AND MALIK ARE TENSE WHILE DNA SEEMS TO BE LOOSE AND SMILING)
DAVIS: Are you guys here trying to get on the card..
MALIK: None of your goddam business
DAVIS: Looks like someone is wearing there tuff pants today
BOOKMAN: Gentlemen, do we have an agreement about your match with the Archangels?
ANTON: Yeah..here it is..the stipulation
(BOOKMAN GRABS THE LETTER THAT WAS SIGNED )
BOOKMAN: A Tornado, Pin falls anywhere no DQ match...interesting, what made you go this route
ANTON: We figured we gonna do it , do it big...right boys..(WINKS AT MALIK)
(MALIK AND KALEB LOOK AT EACH OTHER AND BACK AT BOOKMAN)
KALEB: They seem to walk in here and do what they want whenever they want
DAVIS: It's called being a champion...maybe one day...one day when we are gone form the business you will have your shot
KALEB: Trust me...sooner then later
ANTON: Well good luck with that...(DNA LEAVE AND CLOSE THE DOORS BEHIND THEM)
BOOKMAN: Those guys are good money...ok now where were we..(REACHES TO GET AN M&M, BUT KALEBS SMACKS THE JAR OFF THE TABLE AND IT SMASHES TO THE GROUND, MALIK HAS A SURPRISED LOOK ON HIS FACE AS BOOKMANS EYES WIDEN AND LIPS GET TENSE, BUT HE COMPOSES HIMSELF AND TAKES A DEEP BREATH)
BOOKMAN: Why would you do that...(WIPES MOUTH)
KALEB: Give us our match!
(BOOKMAN GRABS HIS IPHONE AND WRITES A TEXT)
KALEB: Are you texting in the middle of a meeting..
BOOKMAN: Oh no, you got this wrong, this is not a meeting..a meeting consist of an appointment, an appointment where two sides respectfully and maturely sit down and discuss the prior issues at hand..Did we have an appointment Mr Cross, Mr Jordan...have you been at all respectful to me, have you sat down..have you taken my offer to have a seat i would have considered this somewhat of an impromptu meeting...I can do impromptu..What this is, is two grown men acting like children. this is A man of your skill and poise coming in here and making demands and smacking my precious M&M's off my table. Do you now how pissed Senester gets when I call him about things like this. Now i need my carpet cleaned, a new jar, That wasn't nice.
KALEB: I don't care about Nice Bookman...I will not be pushed aside.we will not be pushed aside while Benny and F@ckin June get their way week after week.
(BOOKMAN SMIRKS)
BOOKMAN: Benny and June, great movie have you seen it
(KALEB GETS REAL ANGRY BUT TRIES TO CONTOL HIMSELF AS MS SINCLAIRE WALKS IN WITH TWO SHEETS STACKS OF PAPERS)
BOOKMAN: I like your aggressiveness, and for that I have given you both a match
(KALEB LOOKS AT MALIK AND NODS)
BOOKMAN: I'm a fair man, though you disrespected me in every way..I have decided to give you guys a match...see that is what my text was about
(KALEN LOOSEN'S UP)
KALEB: Well..Thank you...I guess..
BOOKMAN: no Problem..just sign right here
(KALEB AND MALIK ARE RELIEVED AND SIGN THE CONTRACT WITHOUT READING IT)
(BOOKMAN THEN TOUCHES SPEAKER PHONE)
BOOKMAN: MS Sinclaire, please send up security
MALIK: We don't need Security Escort...
BOOKMAN: I think you do...
(WITHIN TEN SECONDS A SECURITY TEAM OF 15 GAURDS WALK THROUGH HIS DOOR)
KALEB: really, isn't this overkill, we said we would leave...
(BOOKMAN SMIRKS)
BOOKMAN: Did you guys see who your opponents were
(KALEB AND MALIK LOOK AT EACH OTHER QUICKLY)
BOOKMAN: Let me tell you....at "The Other Side" Kaleb and Malik will face....EACH OTHER!!!!
(MALIK AND KALEB GET ENRAGED AS THE GAURDS COME BETWEEN THEM AND BOOKMAN, THEY ARE SCREAMING PROFANITIES )
MALIK: We won't do it
BOOKMAN: Oh yes you will, because if you don't , you violate the contract you just signed that states."failure to compete and failure to determine a winner will be breach of HWA contracts and must be terminated"...see guys...when i say take a seat...TAKE A DAM SEAT....oh and one other thing, there must be winner...I will then determine if your Match was worthy of calling a match..so give it your all....
(SECURITY GUARDS BACK KALEB AND MALIK TO THE HALLWAY AS THE DOORS CLOSE)
BOOKMAN: Good kids those two....just need some guidance...
(HE ISTS DOWN AND CALLS SENESTER'S OFFICE AS SCENE FADES)
