(FADE IN to a trendy area in West Hollywood, California. A man wearing a black sequenced jacket, white t-shirt, and a pair of black high-water slacks, revealing his knee-high white socks underneath and black loafers. He has a shower cap on under a black-rimmed hat. The camera pans up to his face revealing it to be Shamon. He has a very small cell phone in his gloved hand.)
SHAMON: (Talking into his cell phone.) Oh yes, everything is going as planned. It got the seaweed wrap done over at Bodyworks. Siew Eng does such a great job. And now I’m heading over to Pierre’s to get a treatment for my hair, before I head up to Portland.
(Listens to voice on the phone.) Oh, you mean THOSE plans. Well, I guess things are going as expected. (Listens to the phone.) Well yeah, I didn’t forget why I came here, but I had a few things I needed to take care of to establish myself. (Listens with concern shown on his face.) I understand. Don’t worry, I will expose the FRAUD in due time. But before then, I have a match with this bum named Shane Southern. Supposedly he is the wrestler to beat…or so he touts. (The voice on the other end responds.) Don’t worry. I’ve got a game plan and NO ONE will get in my way.
(Shamon looks up and spots a sign that reads “Pierre’s Hair Salon”.) Look, I’m here. I have to go. I will call you later. T.T.F.N.
(Shamon flips his phone shut and walks into the establishment. The doorman, who is situated behind a podium in the front of the store, greets him.)
DOORMAN: (Looking down into an appointment book, while speaking with someone on his headset.) No, we won’t be able to book Mr. Pitt until sometime next week. I don’t care if it is his only week off from filming. I can’t work miracles and have a spot open up for him. He should have booked more in advance. (Looks up and spots the familiar face.) Look, I have to disconnect with you, one of our best customers just walked in.
(Takes off his headset and greets Shamon in front of the podium.) How good to see you, Mr. Shamon. Pierre is expecting you. Please have a seat. Can I get you anything? Bottled water? Perhaps some biscotti?
SHAMON: Well if it isn’t too much trouble, I would really love a latte’ cappuccino mocha espresso chiller, with a dash of cinnamon and a twist of lemon. (Smiles) Thank you.
DOORMAN: (Looking a little confused.) Certainly sir, right away.
SHAMON: (Removing his hat and sequenced jacket, but leaving his shower cap on.) I think I’ll take a seat and see what’s going on, on my favorite TV show, Days of Our Lives.
(Shamon takes a seat and begins flipping through channels on the remote control. He catches the last minute of Days before the credits start rolling. He begins flipping the channels again and stumbles upon a Shane Southern promo on a rerun of the weekend TV show CSWA Extra. Shamon looks upset for a moment and then smiles, when the doorman walks in with his drink.)
DOORMAN: Here you are, sir. (Hands Shamon a large cup of coffee.) I hope you enjoy it. Pierre will be up shortly to take you to the back.
SHAMON: Excellent. (Taking a drink out of the frothy concoction. He puts the cup down, revealing foam on his nose. He doesn’t notice and begins to cut a promo.) Well it looks as if Shane Southern is a feeling a little unsure of himself. I could sense the fear in your promo. It looks as if you have your mind on other things, other than Shamon. You have the AUDACITY to say that I am not taking this match seriously? It takes hard work to look THIS GOOD. I know my fans want to see me look my best and if you could look at what I have spent the past few days to do that…it would make your jaw drop!
Maybe YOU aren’t taking ME too seriously. It looks like you are preoccupied with Evan Aho. Which by the way, he really needs to do something with that hair. It’s just awful! And did you see what he wore to that fundraiser last week. (Pauses) But that’s another story all together. Will Evan stab you in the back? Well the Get Along Gang break up for good? All of you kissing each other’s asses…its like an endless chain.
(In a mocking voice, not mocking anyone in particular.) “No, Wicked Sight…you are the best.”(In a different voice.) “No… Shane, you are the greatest.” (In yet another voice.) “No I’m not the man; you are the man…Evan.” (In his normal voice.) It’s enough to make me sick! Shane, you got a little brown right there. (Points at his nose and discovers the foam on his face. Embarrassed, he quickly wipes it away.) BROWN NOSER! I bet you even polish Merritt’s shoes in between TV tapings. (Giggles) Which, by the way Mr. Merritt, I have a friend that does an excellent shoeshine. I’ll give you his card in Portland. (Smiles)
(Shamon takes a gulp of his coffee and this time wipes his face to make sure there is no foam on it.) I hate to borrow a phrase, but Shane, I thought you could be PROFESSIONAL (Smiles and gives a thumbs up.) about this, but obviously you have to resort to cheap tactics. Such as ridiculing my training regimen and having the gall to say my hair is BLEACHED! (Fans his face and calms himself down.) If Pierre heard you, he would want to get into the ring with you himself! My hair happens to be 100 PERCENT NATURAL! This hair color didn’t come from a bottle. Just like the commercial says, ”maybe he’s born with it…maybe its Mabeline.” Well it’s not Mabeline…I was born with it, buster! Don’t be mad because you’ve got a mullet and get your hair done at Supercuts. I offered you an appointment with Pierre and you turned it down. If you want to go around looking like Joe Dirt…hey, that’s your prerogative. Just like the song by Bobby Brown, you can do what you want to do, baby! (Snaps his fingers.)
(Takes another drink and stands up.) Shane, how can the party be over? I never got my invitation, I guess because I am not part of the “Kiss Each Other’s Ass Club”. Oh well, in Portland, despite the horrendous effect the climate up there has on my hair, I will be throwing a party of my own. (Almost child-like in his taunting.) And guess who isn’t invited! (Smiles.) That’s right, I am gonna kick off my first official win in the CSWA with a little party. All my friends will be there and I want to send out a special invitation to THE PROFESSIONALS, you guys are more than welcome to come. I’ll have beer, ladies, and plenty of Newports and Camels to go around for everyone! And Southern, don’t be thinking about becoming World champion after you face me, because if Aho is lucky, there won’t be anything left of you for him to beat! I am gonna put you out of commission and when I do that, Aho will have no choice but to face ME! The new number-one contender! OHHHH! UHHHHH! OWWWWW! HEEEEEE HEEEEEE! (Does the hot hand dance move.) Oh yeah, baby. (Grabs his crotch.) HOOOOOOOOOO!
(While Shamon does the stutter step while grabbing his crotch and screaming, Pierre walks into the waiting room. We can only see the back of his head, which has long black hair pulled back into a ponytail. FADE TO BLACK)
