(ALL THREE MEN LOOK AT EACH OTHER AND ALL THREE START SINGING THE SONG)


EDDIE,TALON,RONNIE: traffic jam and you already late, a no smoking sign on your cigarette break,It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife, It's meeting the man of my dreams and then meeting his beautiful wife

...the scene changes again...


Lola: Maybe he’s waiting for marriage? A gentleman waits for the right one…

Talon: Oh he does?

Donnie (laughing): Well then you definitely aint a gentleman are ya Talon?!

Talon smirks as Lola blushes slightly and everyone else begins to laugh.

Talon: What can I say? …They are the right one when it happens….

Eddie: Most of the time… (more laughter as Hennessey smacks Eddie on the shoulder)

Hennessey: Real gentlemen do wait Medos, and if that’s the path you’ve chosen then I totally respect you for that…

Davis: Monks wait too… for a long time.

Anton: it’s a shame that such a fine specimen is depriving the world…

Davis cuts Anton a sharp glare, hushing him instantly as a few snickers are heard around the table.

Medos: I never said I was practicing celibacy, I just haven’t found the one yet…

Mo: You sure you playin on the right team dawg? I mean, I’ve seen some pretty fine chickas around here since traveling with yall on your HWA tours… you sure that’s your “cup-o-tea”.

Medos: What are you implying? That I don’t like women? You think I’m a….

Medos looks over at Anton who is staring at him with an eyebrow curiously raised awaiting his next words.

Medos: Well I’m not. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but it’s not my thing.


Talon: NO WAY! Seriously?!

Eddie: HAHA look at the tag lines!

Talon: Braveheart 2, “Every man dies, not every man lives… he’s done both” What the hell?! But Gibson dies at the end of the real movie!

Eddie: No, not that tagline… look at this one! “THIS IS SCOTLAND!” haha I guess that’s because Butch looks like that goofball from 300! Nice.

Talon: Wow, Let’s see that man, that’s got to be a good laugh!

Eddie: Nope, we can’t see it.

Talon: What?! Why not?

Eddie: Read that other caption… the one from Washington Post.

Talon: “…The best straight to DVD film in decades.” Damn. Oh well, we’ll have to rent it when it comes out.

Eddie: Definitely!

Talon and Eddie get to the ticket booth and order their tickets and walk back to their group of friends as the camera fades to black.

The camera looks back up at Talon as he nods.

Talon, "That's me... I enjoy life, I live it how I want to, and when its time to handle my business, I do so. I back up what I say, and I cash the checks my mouth rights... whatever little Cliché you want to throw at me, I execute my end of the deal. Put me in the ring across from somebody, I'm going to bust my ass to win the match and put on a show in the process."

Talon pauses as he walks over to the TV, cutting it off.

Talon, "You'll notice one other thing though in each of those videos... I had my friend there with me... and that too is part of who I am, weather we can each ever realize that or not... and right now, I'm putting the past in the past, and letting trespasses be forgiven in hope that the respect is returned, because right now, I have to say something."

Talon looks directly into the camera and speaks.

Talon, "Ed, congratulations on your winning the World Championship, be it at my expense or not, you earned it... I regret what we've become, and I wish you the best. Theres a bottle of 100% Agave, sitting at the doorstep of the gym when you get back, have a shot for me..."

Talon, "So yeah... HWA... the real Talon is back, like it or not."



Talon nods again to the camera before grabbing a pair of clippers and walking into the hotel room bathroom. the sound of the electric clippers can be heard as it fades to black.
