(Nathaniel and Brittany are at their home in Reno. Nathaniel is throwing darts at a dartboard in the basement as some Stone Temple Pilots music is playing in the background. Nathaniel is wearing a white tank top and blue jeans.)
Brittany: Nathaniel!
(Brittany walks down the stairs.)
Nathaniel: What?!
(Nathaniel appears irritated as Brittany interrupts him.)
Brittany: The schedule came out for the next show.
Nathaniel: And?
Brittany: You'll be teaming up with CJ to take on Bishop and Rain Blackhart.
(Nathaniel sighs)
Nathaniel: I told you I wanted Diaz. I want a TITLE SHOT.
Brittany: I thought we went over this already? You can book yourself a title shot.
Nathaniel: But we made that deal with Cliff and gotta wait until he comes back. I known Cliff wants to play promoter and screw with some people but I want my title shot!
Brittany: You'll get it! Don't worry!
Nathaniel: So I gotta team with Walker?
Brittany: Yep.
(Nathaniel rolls his eyes.)
Nathaniel: Why couldn't I team with DeHaven?
Brittany: They got him booked in a match teaming up with Butch. So you think you can co-exist with CJ?
(Nathaniel looks at her as if she's completely nuts.)
Brittany: What?
Nathaniel: You're talkin CJ Walker!
Brittany: Yeah!
Nathaniel: Come on....
Brittany: But you have to. You know your opponents are on the same page.
(Nathaniel sighs)
Nathaniel: You know CJ was talking all kinds of shit about us....
Brittany: But you did hear what he's been saying lately, right? The Black Hand will continue to dominate while the rest of us are divided.
Nathaniel: That's my problem?
Brittany: It can be.
Nathaniel: Do we get anything for winning the match?
Brittany: Like what?
Nathaniel: Title shot or something.
Brittany: Not that I know of.
Nathaniel: Then what's the point? Why should I show up?
Brittany: You're being paid to uh work.
Nathaniel: No shit. With Cliff being suspended, you know they're gonna take advantage of that.
Brittany: That's why I suggest you work with CJ. We both know he's an asshole but you guys do have a common enemy. The enemy of your enemy is your friend. Right?
(Nathaniel shrugs)
NathanieL: I just wanted the guy's belt.
Brittany: You know who the champion is now right?
Nathaniel: What do you think?
Brittany: And you know he's in the Black Hand?
Nathaniel: Duh!
Brittany: If you guys can beat Bishop, that'll shatter their confidence. Who knows, you might even make a new friend.
Nathaniel: Who?
Brittany: CJ!
Nathaniel: That douchebag?
Brittany: Come on, just give it a chance.
Nathaniel: Tell his people that I'll work with him, I do what I can to win, but if he screws with me, cheap shots me, or whatever......he's gonna be in some deep shit. Tell him that, okay?
Brittany: Sure! I don't think he'll be a problem.
Nathaniel: He better not be.....or else.
(Fade to black.)
