Re: Martyr on the Horizon
"Gammeh anudder wan.."
(Fadein, a drunken-stupor-laden Erik Mateo, his head down on the bar, resting on his left arm as his right flails invalidly for a drink. Our friendly-neighborhood cameraman walks up to him and sighs. Foregoing the usual polite nudges, he reaches over for a red cup and fills it up with water and hesitates as he holds it over Mateos' head. Looking over at his watch and taking a second deep breath, he shrugs his shoulders and dumps it anyway, tossing the cup in the trash and grabbing the television remote, hitting 'Play' on it. Mateo thrusts his head up suddenly, throwing his hair back and getting water on the cameraman as he passes by. The cameraman mutters something inaudibly as he grabs a towel to wipe himself.)
EM: Ah-swar sheh sade sheh whas aigh-tane!!!
(Mateo looks up and sees his current opponent on screen.)
PATTON: "Hey there, IWF. Thanks for havin' me back again.

"... well, I watched your video a few times and I reckon I can't really make out a word you're sayin'. I ain't here to judge a man for his lifestyle. What you do in your time ain't my business.

(Finally Mateo grabs the nearest beer bottle and slams it before tossing it over his shoulder to no where in particular, the glass shattering. He swings around on his bar stool, claps his hands twice and from off screen comes a towel flying at him. Snatching it up, he wipes his face and tosse the towel aside. Before the scene fades out...)
MATEO: Meow thayt ah hade mah sh'weh....ah thanks ets tahm fer anudder bear...
