*The scene opens inside Maniacs room on his bus, by now they are well out of Portland and Maniac has watched the interview with Erica. He sits on his bed as he smokes a cigarette deep in thought, not only of Erica and the conversation they had after getting on the bus and leaving Havoc but of the entire night. He was so proud of Erica, she was learning fast and using the knowledge he gave to great use. He felt terrible that Hans was doing this to her and has been helping her get any and all resources she needs to help. His thoughts switch to Havoc and a smile spreads across his face, he takes a drag off his cigarette before beginning.*
Maniac: Now THAT is what I'm talking about! Jeremy bravo my boy that was one of if not THE best fukin performance I've ever seen from you.
*Maniac leaps up off the bed and is now pacing back and forth, unable to contain his excitement.*
Maniac: Where's THAT Jeremy Branson been huh? Just like your buddy Matt, all you needed was a little...push.
*Maniac throws his head back laughing.*
Maniac: And I don't care what you, Matt, or ANYONE says if it wasn't for me coming back you'd still be the pathetic shells of wrestlers you were. But not anymore, I've showed you both and the world the REAL Matt Miller and Jeremy Branson and I will continue to do so.
*Maniac winks as he finishes his cigarette and puts it out in the ashtray.*
Maniac: Which brings me to the big guy himself, Butch Parker.
*Maniac looks into the camera and after a moment you can see a smile forming on his face and he claps his hands.*
Maniac: Now that's what I'm talking about!! THAT'S the Butch Parker I remember, not this corporate fuk that I've been seeing. We are the same Butch, we take what we want with no apology and we squash or enemies with extreme force. We both know what the HWA is and that it'll never change, and why should it? The HWA has always been unique and people will always be jealous of that and try to cut us down. But tonight Butch you've shown the world that we won't be cut down nor will we be shaped into something that we're not, kudos to you and I'll gladly stand by you on the battlefield to defend HWA any day.
*Maniac turns and grabs another cigarette from the pack, lighting it and taking a deep drag off of it before continuing.*
Maniac: I gotta admit though, I was disappointed in seeing Draconis trying to play hero out there tonight. Come on William, this whole "good guy" shtick doesn't suit you. You know it, I know it, the WORLD knows it..especially your little tribe members. Don't you see the disappointed look in their eyes when your trying to be something you're not? They know who you really are William as do I, and like them I know that you weren't out there trying to help Jeremy. You could give a rat's ass less about him, you were out there for me looking for revenge. Let me ask you this, with Fallen already on your case do you REALLY need me adding on to your grief? Think about it William, stay true to yourself.
*Maniac smiles and takes another drag off his cigarette.*
Maniac: Stu-E Price, you know I've been watching you and I wonder to myself "why does this guy stress himself over P.R. work?" That's quite noble of you Stu but in the end what does it get you? Nothing but unnecessary stress that you don't need or deserve, like I said a few minutes ago the HWA is what it is and isn't going to change anytime soon. Stop worrying over things you can't control and worry about things you can, like your career and your well-being and that of people close to you. I see so much talent and passion being wasted all because you're worried about things that you shouldn't be, the Parker's have people they pay for that. Sit back and relax Stu, enjoy that beer Hell have a few for that matter. You'll see that once you let go everything becomes simpler.
*Maniac laughs and finishes his cigarette as the scene fades to black.*
