Deal's a Deal

(Tong Fairtex is in a restaurant enjoying the atmosphere as he waits for someone to take his order. He looks around as if he's expecting someone to come and continues to look at the menu to order from when he hears someone sitting down and slowly lowers the menu to see someone sitting opposite to him.)

Man:  "Peach Cob and apple sauce."

Tong Fairtex:  "What?"

Man:  "Peach Cob and apple sauce."

Tong Fairtex:  "What are you talking about."

Man:  "You don't know what I'm talking about."

Tong Fairtex:  "Like no....."

(He smiles thinking he's gotten the idea.)

Tong Fairtex:  "Oh I get it this is one of those prank shows isn't it......Okay you punked me out now."

Man:  "It's not one of those prank shows."

Tong Fairtex:  "Okay spill it."

Man:  "I can't."

Tong Fairtex:  "Oh excuse me.  You take my wife's seat and start acting weird and you won't tell me what the hell you are talking about.  So start talking or I'm going to kick your ass and throw you out of this restaurant."

Man:  "I'm meeting someone and I thought it was you."

Tong Fairtex:  "Me."

Man:  "Yeah I thought it was you I had to meet."

Tong Fairtex:  "What do you mean you thought I was the one you had to meet."

Man:  "I was supposed to pick something up and bring it to my boss."

Tong Fairtex:  "So sit somewhere else and pick it up and bring whatever it is to your boss or I'll throw you out by myself."

Man:  "Okay I'm going."

(The Man leaves and he resumes looking through the menu to see what he wants to order and feels another sound of someone sitting down and puts his menu down.)

Tong Fairtex:  "Look I told......."

(He sees his wife Jade sitting down opposite him.)

Tong Fairtex:  "Oh Jade, it's you."

Jade:  "Yeah it's me.  Who were you expecting."

Tong Fairtex:  "That jackass who took your seat earlier."

Jade: "Who was it."

Tong Fairtex:  "Some guy that looked like some Bond wannabe."

Jade:  "Don't worry Kim will take care of him."

Tong Fairtex:  "What are you talking about Jade."

Jade:  "Never mind that.  Don't forget our deal which you blew in The Anzac Cup."

Tong Fairtex:  "That's because Cornelius Marsh interfered and cost us.  Meanwhile where were you and Kim when we needed you the most."

Jade:  "In the back watching you blow your deal."

Tong Fairtex:  "You forgot we have the XHF Trios Championship when we face Gordon Carlson, Ronnie Long and Jay Stevens in the first round."

Jade:  "Well at least you remembered who your opponents are."

Tong Fairtex:  "Like duh.  Why would I not remember who our opponents are."

Jade:  "Let's just hope you remember this is your last chance before you have to honor the deal we made."

Tong Fairtex:  "Can I ask what the deal is that we made."

Jade:  "You'll find out if you get eliminated in the first round of the trios tournament."

Tong Fairtex:  "Can I ask why the drama queen stuff.  You sound like that flash in the pan wrestler who named himself after an acting genre."

Jade:  "At least I'm more talented than that scrub."

(The Waiter comes to their table.)

Waiter:  "May I take your order monsieur and madam."

Tong Fairtex:  "I'll take the thick angus steak well cooked with the potatoes and the best champagne on ice."

Waiter:  "What would you like for your dessert."

Tong Fairtex:  "Chocolate mousse."

Waiter:  "What would you like madam."

Jade:  "The same to celebrate tonight."

Waiter:  "I'll be right back with your order."

Tong Fairtex:  "JUST BE SURE YOU COMEBACK SOON WITH THE RIGHT ORDER!"

Jade:  "What was that about."

Tong Fairtex:  "I made reservations for dinner and I've been waiting for over an hour just for that jerk to take my order."

Jade:  "That's because you finished your workout early."

Tong Fairtex:  "I finished on time as usual."

Jade:  "Why not just use the hotel's app."

Tong Fairtex:  "Like I'm going to use an app that's going to screw up my meals."

Jade:  "You ever tried the app."

Tong Fairtex:  "I don't trust apps no matter which one I try."

Jade:  "Let's see you love texting and talking on your cellphone and skyping and online gaming but you hate apps."

Tong Fairtex:  "Like yeah."

Jade:  "Let's concentrate on Gordon Carlson, Ronnie Long and Jay Stevens."

Tong Fairtex:  "You mean big mouthed Gordon who brags about his team being trained by the best and who they are related to.  I could care less who they are related to and who trained them.  It's what happens in the ring that counts."

Jade:  "Yeah and what happens in the ring determines what happens in our deal Tong and it's going to be collected on either way."

Tong Fairtex:  "Don't worry those XHF Trios Championships are going to be coming home to SWAT and we will dedicate it to SWAT.  We won't even recognize those KGB scumbags who slithered their way into this prestigious tournament."

Jade:  "Just make sure you take it one step at a time don't blow it or you know what's going to happen."

Tong Fairtex:  "I know or the deal's broken and you'll hold us to whatever deal was made between us or whoever made this dealing in the first place."

Jade:  "That's right and we're going to make sure it's enforced whether you like it or not."

(The Waiter returns with their order.)

Waiter:  "Here's your orders Monsieur and madam."

Tong Fairtex:  "Thank you."

Waiter:  "You are quite welcome monsieur and madam."

(He leaves them.)

Tong Fairtex:  "Yeah."

Jade:  "Let's just enjoy our dinner and get ready for the XHF Trios Tournament."

(They begin eating as the scene slowly fades to black.)
