(Open to the backstage after Friday Night Free For All. Smilin’ Jack Ruby has his bartender and chauffer, Moe, backed into a corner and is definitely in his face.)
Ruby: What was that?
Moe: Uh…
Ruby: Why? What made you think that interfering in our match was a great idea? What made you think that Annie was going to appreciate what you did.
Moe: I lost my head.
Ruby: You damned near lost your job!
Moe: I know.
Ruby: And for what? Huh? Because you let your hormones take over like some 17 year old boy with his first crush?
Moe: She needed me. She needed help and I just sort of lost my head.
Ruby: And do you honestly think that she is going to be appreciative of you sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong?
Moe: I’m hoping this will make it up to her.
(Moe holds up a key ring with a key on it.)
Ruby: What is that? You think giving her the key to your heart is going to impress her? This isn’t middle school.
Moe: No, it’s the key to a lovingly restored 1959 Chevy Apache muscle truck.
Ruby: What?
Moe: You would not believe the work that went into locating this thing, but I found one and, believe me, it was well worth the kidney I had to sell to get it.
Ruby: Tell me you did NOT sell a kidney.
Moe: Not an actual kidney.
Ruby: So, where did the money come from?
Moe: I’ve been saving it.
Ruby: **sigh** Fine. Go visit Annie, tell her that you have a present for her and see if that smooths things over. However, be prepared for work tomorrow.
Moe: I still have a job?
Ruby: Yes, however every crappy little job that needs to be done around the bar is going to be your responsibility.
Moe: Yeah, I figure I deserve it.
Ruby: Oh, and one more thing.
Moe: Yeah?
Ruby: You EVER interfere with another of my matches, you are going to be canned.
Moe: I understand.
Ruby: No, you don’t. I mean, I’m going to get a barrel and literally CAN you!
