Yesterday New York City, Today Miami. The sun is shining bright and there is barely any wind. Brute heat. Candy and Maddox are sitting on a beach side patio connected to their beach side condo that they are renting for a couple days. Candy is in a hot pink bikini, skin glistening while under the shade of the awning. Candy is reading a book "The Art Of Talking Shit" by Michael Huff. Maddox in a black speedo, kicked back, legs kicked up on the table. He has a pair of sunglasses on and his head is tilted back, resting on the chair.
CANDY: I understand now where some of these so called entertainers get their shit talking skills. It's like they all refer to this book or something. "Speak up now or never be heard" apparently.
MADDOX: Just imagine where some of these people grew up, imagine their childhoods. They probably escaped to wrestling cause their real life persona's just don't have the guts.
CANDY: I feel like that's why drag queens do what they do as well. They dont really have the confidence in their own skin and when they become their drag personas, they become a whole different person. Sort of gives them the confidence they need to entertain.
MADDOX: And that my dear is exactly what we deal with here. Not everyone grows into their skin like we have.
CANDY: Unapologetically us.
MADDOX: Always and forever.
CANDY: Did you catch Vile's promo?
MADDOX: Unfortunately, yes. I was sitting on the toilet for my morning process and well....of course, more shit to deal with.
CANDY: You're gross.
MADDOX: Everyone poops Candy.
CANDY: Yes but we dont have to hear about it.
MADDOX: Eh, im uncensored.
CANDY: Oh, we know.
MADDOX: Anyways. (He pauses) Harmless aye? I guess we're harmless!
CANDY: Chad is harmless. Eric Ragsdale is harmless. V is harmless. WE are not harmless.
MADDOX: Speaking of V, she's like a chihuahua, kinda cute sometimes, looks scared most of the other times and just wont SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP.
CANDY: If there's gonna be anything that drives the viewers away, its that voice. I'd IMMEDIATELY mute my TV if I was watching a tv show and her voice popped up.
MADDOX: Like...totally...like...oh, my god...Maddox sucks. Like, Oh my god! That bitch Candy is like totally not IT! She is like so WHORE-EH-BEL!
CANDY: Kind of spot on.
MADDOX: Duh. (He pauses) I mean, we could sit here and give reasons to why we are definitely NOT harmless but they can just find out in the ring. That's how I feel about it.
CANDY: Yeah, gets kind of exhausting being underestimated but that's fine. Time and time again we prove otherwise. Just because they are this rebellious duo who gives no fucks for rules doesn't mean that they are the most dangerous pair they have in UPW.
MADDOX: Let them live in their own world Candy. That's where they love to be and we will not interrupt their space.
CANDY: On the contrary, we will be interrupting their space. My fist, to their face.
MADDOX: Ah yes, the sweet sound of bone against bone.
CANDY: My favorite.
MADDOX: The problem with them is that they really just don't care. That's all fun and games and entertaining for awhile. They provide good tv but then what? What are you in it for? Why are you shaming people for wanting glory in this business? The end all be all isn't championships and records. Sure, it feels great when you have a championship belt around your waist and you are adding accolades to the list but it isn't the ONLY thing of course. But, don't you want to leave a legacy behind once you leave this business? There will always be another duo who comes in who wants to wreak havoc on everyone and not pay attention to the rules and then people ask who we're Vile and Vicious? What was "Wicked?"
CANDY: Honestly though. I guess it's all about what you value at the end of the day. If they value just being a wrecking ball with no regard for a long term career, then that's their prerogative.
MADDOX: Absolutely. Not our career at the end of the day, so have at it.
CANDY: So I guess thanks for the congratulations on our win?
MADDOX: I guess.
(They both laugh)
MADDOX: A win doesn't mean anything if you honestly didn't earn it and if its one thing that the Haus of Salvaje doesn't do....its a gloat about a cheap win. We are not The Black Hand so....
(He sits up and shrugs)
CANDY: If there's one thing that we DO, DO....it's pain and excruciating. It's something that we enjoy. The excitement is real when we get to see someone buckle over in pure pain.
MADDOX: We are not The Top Tier and The Baddest Bitch for no reason. So even though you are coming into it with a wrecking ball mindset, we are going to be there to give you a contest, friends. This isn't going to be one of your normal run of the mill in and out, break the rules types of matches. We will be playing defense as well as offense. We are going to do everything to make sure that you HAVE to wrestle this match. We are going to keep you two on your toes and we will never let up.
CANDY: Correct, so prepare yourself for a bit of time in that ring and if you dont...well, I guess you'll have to deal with that later when YOU are licking YOUR wounds and asking yourselves..."fuck, what went wrong?" How did these two "sheep" put US in the pasture, honey?
MADDOX: Its funny that out of ALL THE PEOPLE here un UPW that Wicked would even REFER to us....the most colorful, exuberant, out of the box people....as SHEEP?
(He laughs)
MADDOX: I'm so far from the word "sheep" baby. I'm over here like a fucking peacock in terms of fabulousness, a monkey in terms of feisty personality and a lion in terms of confidence, power and strength. Sheep are boring. I....WE....are not boring.
CANDY: Oh god no. If people refer to Haus of Salvaje as boring, we might as well quit and return to modeling.
MADDOX: That's what people would love for us to do except we arent going anywhere. So, call us sheep but the day we realize that we actually are boring, trust, we'll leave but that day isn't anytime soon.
CANDY: Nope.
MADDOX: So...Vile...Vicious...prepare yourself for a battle you haven't had in awhile. Haus of Salvaje is about to match your crazy and destruction. So, enjoy the match cause I know we sure will. You guys are insanely fun to watch so I know it'll be insanely fun to get in there and slam you around.
CANDY: They are talented for sure but put down this damn book and stop reading from it. The shit talking just isn't working. Go take a comedy improv class or something. Watch drag queens read each other on drag race. I dont know. Figure it out.
MADDOX: Looking forward to it but if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take a dip in the ocean. This skin doesnt tan itself.
CANDY: You're literally naturally that color.
MADDOX: You're right.
(Maddox stands up from his chair, steps off the patio and heads down into the sand, aiming for the water. Candy puts a pair of sunglasses on and follows behind him. The scene fades)
