Scoops Callahan: Reporter, World Class Lover...Wrestler?

["Ace Reporter" Scoops Callahan]

The scene opens with a shot inside of the small locker of Scoops Callahan as he does some old timey calisthenics to warm up for his match later in the evening. Tom Jones' "It's Not Unusual" is softly playing on a record player set up inside of Scoops' locker and he's working out in rhythm with the catchy tune. The door to the room is slowly pushed open behind Scoops and Hank Brown enters, a puzzled look on his face.

Hank Brown: Scoops?

Not able to hear Hank over the sound of the music, Scoops continues with his calisthenics. Hank steps up behind Scoops and taps him on the shoulder.

Hank Brown: Sco-

Scoops screams and spins around, his fists up in an old timey boxer's pose. He lets out a sigh of relief when he sees it's only Hank standing behind. Scoops then reaches over and pulls the needle up off the record.

Scoops Callahan: Hot diggity Hank! You scared the bejeezus out of me.

Hank Brown: Hot diggity?

Scoops Callahan: It's an expression, Hank. People use it all the time.

Hank Brown: Name me one person.

Scoops Callahan: Perry Como.

Hank Brown: Who?

Scoops Callahan: Nevermind. What can I do for you Hank?

Hank Brown: Well I was walking down the hallway and I heard music playing and I-

Scoops Callahan: Ah, I see you have an ear for good tunes. Do you like Tom Jones?

Hank Brown: Well no, not really. But-

Scoops Callahan: You don't like Tom Jones? What in the sam hill is wrong with you?

Hank Brown: Maybe it's because I'm only 40?

Scoops Callahan: Not an excuse! Come on Hank, time to broaden your horizons!

Scoops reaches over and starts the music back up as he resumes his calisthenics. Hank shakes his head and then starts doing the Carlton dance. Scoops sees Hank out of the corner of his eye and stands back up straight before stopping the music as Hank continues to dance.

Scoops Callahan: You got ants in your pants or something?

Hank Brown: What? You've never seen the Carlton dance?

Scoops Callahan: The what now?

Hank Brown: Oh come on, everyone's seen the Carlton dance. You know, from The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air.

Scoops Callahan: The whozawhatzit of where?

Hank Brown: The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air. Seriously? You never saw the show? Or at least seen the clips on Youtube?

Scoops Callahan: Yoo-Hoo? The chocolate drink?

Hank Brown: No, not Yoo-Hoo, Youtube. The website full of random videos? Seriously?

Scoops Callahan: Web...site?

Hank Brown: Are you freaking kidding me? How do you submit reports for WCF if you don't know what a website is?

Scoops Callahan: I drive over to the old HQ, write up a report on my trusty typewriter Bessy in my office-

Hank Brown: YOU HAVE AN OFFICE!?!?

Scoops Callahan: Well, yeah.

Hank Brown: I've been here for 10 years and I don't have an office!

Scoops Callahan: Have you asked?

Hank Brown: OF COURSE I'VE ASKED!

Scoops Callahan: Whoa! Relax Hank. Tell you what, I'll put in a good word for you with Mr. Lerch and see about getting you your own little space over there.

Hank Brown: ...

Scoops Callahan: Now then, back to why you stopped by.

Hank Brown: What in the hell are you doing, Scoops?

Scoops Callahan: Well I had been stretching before you-

Hank Brown: Not that, I know what you were doing. I mean wrestling. What the hell are you doing getting into the ring again?

Scoops Callahan: I thought it would be fun.

Hank Brown: Fun? FUN?! You're going to get killed out there?

Scoops Callahan: Don't be such a drama queen, Hank. I won my debut match if you'll recall.

Hank Brown: ... You know what, good luck tonight Scoops. Here's to hoping you don't die.

Hank gives Scoops a half hearted thumbs up and then waves him off before leaving the room, pulling the door shut behind him. Scoops shrugs his shoulders and then puts the music back on.

Scoops Callahan: You know what, that dance Hank was doing looked quite invigorating.

Scoops begins doing the Carlton dance as the scene ends.
