Wayne and Kosk are each running across the hills each pulling a cart filled with large stones, the stones jostling each other and threatening each other to fall. Both are running full speed, Up, down, up, the heat waves shimmered causing the sweat to evaporate before reaching the hard thirsty soil, they run neck and neck both straining to gain an advantage on the other. The dirt shifting under each step as their strides kicked up more dirt and dust leaving a dusty train to join the one that marked where they had been.
As they crested the next rise the bottom of the hill was not like the rest, a small hut with a postage stamp garden sat next to a small pond of water surrounded by white sand. Both spotting their goal redoubling their efforts they sprinted, As they neared the water the soft sand shot out from underneath Koshs' foot and he stumbled
just missing being the first to the water as Wayne splashed around hooting at his victory.
Kosh kneels down and splashes water on his face catching his breath as Wayne calms down and walks back towards kosh. Even out of breathe his smile was from ear to ear and excessively strolled up the last few stops.
Wayne- That means you got to give me five minutes to hear my proposal and I go first. ...he stood in the water with a self satisfied air.
Kosh- Go ahead. ...and Kosh found a comfortable spot in the sand and pulls out his pipe and a match looking at Wayne who's confused expression was curious as he walked towards Kosh with his eyes locked on the pipe that was now wafting smoke that hung in the air... Ok, I'm good You got five minutes. ...He notice that waynes' attention is still on the pipe in his lips...
color="green"> AHEM, you got five minutes before I'm done. ...wayne visibly shakes himself and sits next to as he clears his throat...
Wayne- Ok, As I have stated many times before we have been robbed of everything and we're still considered the outcast and villains. The drunk native on the street corner or the one or two who brave the bigotry. They even call us Indian because they thought they were in India. ...he started to get into a good rhythm leaving him open mouth as Kosh interrupts...
Kosh- Wait. Were not Indians? I live in a teepee, I scalp people and I live on a reservation. How is that not Indian. ...ticking each point of on his fingers as he came to them..
Wayne- Because you don't have a dot on your forehead. ...his tone tunes to one of annoyance as he continues... That's why your Native not Indian, and this time doesn't count against the bowl, and always remember Scalping was something the French made up so natives could prove that they had actually killed the people they said, we thought it was pretty terrifying to our enemy so we keep it. Now where was I. Ahh, ...wayne rubbed the bridge of his nose as he tried to get his point across... At least Leif Ericson came, partied a little bit left a bill and went home. The rest were like the a virus with a lot of friends, who called their friends and their friends' friends. Right now in politics their pressing equal rights for gays. All I'm saying is I noticed something. ...Wayne reaches down and snaches the pipe taking a long pull. Kosh looks at wayne and then sighs as produces another pipe for himself and inhales deeply.
Kosh- What? That they look ghetto fabulous even on CNN? And who is this Lief Erickson guy? Wasn't he some big hair band back in the day?
Wayne- No, Leif Ericson the Viking. ...he rolls his eyes and takes a deep breathe...
Kosh- How'd did a major league football team come in, Are you promoting the redskins? ...He turns with a perfectly innocent confused look upon his face...
Wayne- No, ...and he look Kosh right in the windows of his eyes and gets a serious look upon his face... Look, I know what you're doing now stop. This still doesn't count against my time it just means it takes longer.
Kosh- It just means you have to load my pipe again. ...he hands Wayne his now empty bowl looking aggrieved. Wayne exhales a pained sigh and throws both pipes and a bag of tobacco at Kosh and then continues...
Wayne- ...with strained calmed he struggled on.. They compared their struggle to equal right fights of Martin Luther King? This is the very last straw, how can you begin to compare your forty year fight and the accords that were given to an over four hundred year struggle of accords that are still not allowed no matter how begrudgedly given in ill intent. ...Kosh starts waving his hand in the air as he hands Wayne the now full bowl...
Kosh- Oh, Oh, pick me Mister Cotter. Time starts now go. ...and gives his full attention to Wayne...
Wayne- Even If you try and turn your struggle to be like the immigrants. The problem is you can't, everyone but us and the polynesians are an immigrant.
Kosh- So we don't have dots in our heads, were native, we scalp people. So why are we Indians? And why are you promoting the Redskins? They are from washington. Hell I am from Iowa!!! Geesh!!
Wayne- I can see I got to get to the point here. All I'm saying is everybody has a holiday but us and I propose to steal the entire month of january as a Native Appreciation Month' and I need you to help me.
Kosh- Wait... I have a holiday, all day, every day, of the year. Now you want me to back you into stealing a Month to be appreciated? Ha ha ha Heckler thats what squaws are for you silly injun!! ha ha ha!! But you're serious? You REALLY want a month? How are we going to steal a month? And is not native encompass to a lot of things? NOT just Indian or excuse me "Native American"?
Wayne- Kosh your not getting it, It's America home of the free and the BRAVE. If pain and suffering get you noticed how is it the one culture who was stepped on at the start doesn't get a holiday?
Kosh- Exactly and we have had enough to fill 12 months. SO I am right!! Holiday everyday!!! Woop Woop!!! Time a burning better hurry Wayne. ...Kosh leans back and draws deeply blowing out smoke rings as he chuckles... Otherwise I may assume you are being like Freddy Styles or Stu-E!!!
Wayne- I'm sorry who? Oh you mean the tag team champions!! I almost forgot who they were. Naw brother the only thing Stu-E and Styles have shown me is they know when their time is up. And for that they earn a tiny bit of respect. ...he holds his finger a breath width apart... TINY!!!!
Kosh- Then you give them more than I do Wayne. Any champion worth their weight... And I mean ANY real champion would have at least said something or done something to defend that gold. HeLL when we get those titles I know for a fact that if anyone wants them they are going to have to pry them from my cold dead INJUN hands!!
Wayne-Which brings me to Micheal James the supposed All Star Champion. The HWA All Star Champion!! This man who can't even accept a blatant brush off from the Heavyweight Champion, Who only recognized him AFTER he insults woman and children. Who does this remind you of Kosh? And he thinks he can get away with it? ...He leans a little closer and speaks softly... I just want to grab him and say "Michael James, just because you don't understand the glory and history associated with these titles, and you're hoping to make your single title as prestigious and glorious as OUR soon to be tag titles?" So I am going to take a page from the Heavyweight Champion... James better watch his own sins don't use someone else's to litter his yard. And then say it was you that did it.
Kosh- ...Kosh chokes on his smoke and coughs.... It sounds like Custer. Or The Spanish Inquisition. See James, he wants to BRAG that he got lucky once. But trust and believe it doesn't hit twice. The next time he puts our names anywhere near His forked tongue I promise I will make him choke on his words before I take his scalp! ...Kosh looks bewildered as he speaks... I looked at his promo work lately and I have to shake my head and wonder... He takes a long draw on his pipe... Was I drunk last time I faced him? Did I just come from a sweat lodge? Was I under medication? Seriously Heckler? Because I have been watching the current running for his "title". ANd really I can't see how he ever won unless he drugged his opponents including me. ...He holds up a single finger & let out a war cry!... I got it!! He will try and copy us when he finds someone to stand beside him. But then again, Who hasn't he copied from or tried to. While I have you Heckler, he can get beaten and scalped just like the tsi mri he really is!!!!
Wayne- Easy kosh he's not custer at this point, he's more like Hitler now. More enemies and No Friends.
Kosh- Well in that case I will HAVE to back you on the month thing, you just proved we have been not just robbed of our lands like the black man. We were lead like the Jewish into the ovens, hell man I heard some Italian guy claim Full Blooded Italian. FBI dammit I always thought that meant Indian. So now I can't even claim FBI? I Get it and they did get awards, recognitions, ever like the forked tongues, But now we got a second Hitler? OK, on one condition! Just because a tsi mri. ...he takes a drink from his wine skin swallowing he continues... Wait, no that's an insult to the tsi, like James wants to think his tarnished gold can even COMPARE to the Glory, the Honor, the Pride that comes from possessing the tag titles... ...he looks at wayne... I will help you but I want to steal scalping from the French. I even have an idea on our first scalp to collect....
Wayne- Ok deal. How patatic that our actual opponents are speechless and we have to talk about their very fatal four way opponent, the only one who actually says anything. Wierd...he gets up and walks towards the carts... Tell you what I'll race you back... loser buys dinner.
Kosh- Deal!! ...He throws sand in Hecklers face then starts running as the screen fades to black...
