:::The scene starts with the camera looking at a closed door. A voice can be heard coming through from the other side. The cameraman opens the door just a crack and we look inside to see Merc on the phone, although at the moment he appears to be talking to himself.:::
Merc: I hate being on hold...they always have such crappy music...
:::He stands there and hums to himself for a little while and then stops.:::
Merc: Yes, hello?...
Yeah, of course it's me, who else would it be?...
Sorry, sir...
Sorry, si--alright, alright...
Yes...
Well, you wouldn't have done the same thing? He was going to lose the belt...
Yeah...
Really?...
Wow, that never occured to me...
Yeah, I know, I know...
Yes, I know, you're great, I should listen to you more, et cetera...
Well, sorry, it's just I'm a little stressed-out here you know?...
I mean, there's what I just said with Outcast, you know, I thought that was going to be a piece of cake for him...
Yeah, but how is he going to get the World Title if he can't even do that? Doesn't that change our plans a bit? ...
Uh-huh...
Hmm...
Alright, wait and see...
What else? Oh, right. Well, gee, I dunno, there's that, I mean, you have seen the card, right? For Friday, Creeping Death's XIII?...
Oh, right, sore spot, sorry...
So you haven't seen it?...
I'm up against Jack of Blades...
Is it for the title? The first thing you ask is is it for the title?...
As far as I can tell, no, but...
Well how about not getting killed for starters? And this just throws the timetable out the window, I mean first Outcast and now this...
I'm sorry, I must not have heard you right, did you say "opportunity"?...
How the hell does that work?...
Uh-huh...
Uh-huh...
Wow, you're right...
You're coming here? When?...
Is that enough time?...
Alright then, well, no rush, whatever works for you...
Wait, wait, wait, you mean you're coming HERE here? As in, WCF?...
It's not safe yet!...
Well, that's why you hired me, isn't it? Reconnaissance, clearing out the LZ, making sure everything's alright for you coming back here...
Well, for one thing, aren't you banned?...
Oh, really?...
That's quite a loophole...
O.K., well, also, there's Jack being champion...
It's not the greatest situation to walk in on, no...
I said, it's not a title shot, I don't think...
Well, yes, I suppose that would make me the number one contender...
Look, it's a moot point. I can't beat him...
Yeah, in amateur. I'm not a pro like you guys...
Well, yeah, but it's a different skill set...
Yes, there's Team NCW, but I don't know how much I trust them...
No, I mean I don't think they're reliable...
O.K., O.K., let's say I have Outcast, Ortega and Rick Mad all at ringside, alright? Let's say that. What happens?...
Yeah, but is it enough? Let's say that it is enough, then I probably get DQ'ed...
Does XIII even have any DQ's? Good question...
Well, look, there's just too many variables...
No, of course I can't quit...
Yes, you are paying me...
Yes, I did just say you shouldn't even come here...
Alright, alright, fine, I'll give it my best shot, but let's say I lose. Hell, let's say I win. Then what? ...
Well, of course you can beat him, but...
Alright, yes, thinking to you, leaving it...
Alright...
Buh-bye.
:::He hangs up the phone.:::
Merc: Everything's going to hell.
:::The cameraman sneezes.:::
Merc: Mattias, is that you?
Mattias: Yes.
Merc: What are you doing?
Mattias: I am a, how you say? Voyeur?
Merc: Well, did anyone else hear?
Mattias: No.
Merc: O.K. then. Because if this ends up on WCF TV, you're fired.
Mattias: Well, they would probably gives me more money for the footage than I could get in shfifty months of working for yous.
Merc: True, but don't go getting any ideas. Now get out of here.
:::The camera turns around.:::
Merc: And clean that swastika off my door. Some smartass thinks he's funny.
:::Mattias walks away.:::
Mattias: I don't thinks I funny, I knows I funny.
:::Fade out.:::
Merc: I hate being on hold...they always have such crappy music...
