Still out in Pennsylvania but on the way to the hotel where Dylan and Lissandra are staying, for the weekend, Dylan gets George to pull over at a DIY/Hardware store.
Dylan: George! George! Pull over, pull over!
Lissandra: What? Here?
Dylan: Yes my darling.
Lissandra shakes her head with confusion. And George does as he is told. Dylan springs out of the limo and heads into the DIY store with such gusto that he is like a kid on Christmas. Conversely however, Lissandra emerges from the limo slowly and conservatively wondering what her darling husband of ten years is doing now. Honestly? She dreads to find out at the moment. Like a concerned parent, she follows Dylan into the store. However by the time that Lissandra reaches the store door, Dylan has already bought what he wanted to buy. A 30ft ladder!
Lissandra: What in the ever loving blue hell are you gonna do with that thing?
Dylan simply smiles and kisses Lissandra on the forehead.
Dylan: Um….
Lissandra: You want help carrying it to the car?
Dylan: Please, my angel?
Lissandra sighs and shakes her head, picking up the opposite end of the ladder as the screen fades out.
—--------------------------------------------------
When the scene opens, Dylan Thomas is talking to the hotel’s concierge.
Concierge: Um… Mr. Thomas, what you’re proposing…. It really isn’t covered in our insurance.
Dylan: I respect that, I really do… but think of the attraction for your hotel guests. Uber famous wrestling superstar Dylan Thomas, exhibition ladder match in the hotel’s back yard!
Concierge: I understand that sir and it would certainly prove entertaining, but again Sir, it just isn’t covered by our insurance. I’m sorry.
Lissandra then walks over with a piece of paper and hands it to the concierge. The concierge reads the piece of paper and then nods, understanding. He then walks away.
Lissandra: I think we’re clear, baby.
Dylan: What did you give him?
Lissandra: New insurance. Just for this.
Dylan: You can do that?
Lissandra: I know all the legal loopholes so everything is above board. It’s only temporary though. Won’t last long.
The scene fades out and back into a wrestling ring set up in the garden of the hotel. There is a table in the ring with a mannequin set up on it and the 30ft ladder lording over the table. Dylan begins his ascent of the ladder as the people cheer his name.
—--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dylan: Hades, Tony… I don’t know how I did it but I’m the current reigning and defending OOC Champion. That means that you two get to be in the ring with a bonafide superstar for once - Lord Allton aside. Bask in the beating that I will lay upon you both at Dystopia 24. Because I am the closest that you will ever come to holding a championship for some time.
Don’t get me wrong, I like Outsiders. Mike Zybala has done an amazing job with what he has to work with and having Allton as your champ lends you credence. But just as you two will never hold the Outsiders World Championship while Allton holds it, I guarantee you won’t wrest the OOC title away from me. You guys are great, and funny guys. But Tony you got beat by Marcy the Head Mistress on Equality, and Hades…… 'nuff said.
Good luck though, you’re gonna need it. Because my win at Dystopia 24 is going to be nothing short of Perfection Personified.
