[Junior Robinson, eldest sibling of the Robinson family, sits typing at a computer screen. He has glasses on and types furiously. His voice plays over the scene. It is implied that the voice is what he is typing.]
Junior: "Attention Madame Wu: I am writing to question the thinking behind scheduling the following match for the Friday Free-For-All XXXVII card. I am referring to the Haus of Salvaje vs. the Sin City Disciples vs. my brothers Jumbo and Jett Robinson."
Junior: "As I am sure that you are aware, the Sin City Disciples otherwise known as Eric Ragsdale and Dillain Dehaven were involved in a match with the House of Salvaje last week where Eric Ragsdale attacked Maddox with a tazer. Now although the team was immediately disqualified from competition I am at a loss as to why the authorities weren't called. Tasering someone is a criminal act in virtually every jurisdiction!"
Junior: "Imagine my surprise to find out not only were both Ragsdale and Dehaven not suspended, but they have been rewarded with a match. Not only have they been rewarded a match, but this tag team which I do not believe has won any matches in Up!, will win a shot at the tag team champions if they win.
Madame Wu, please humor me with your logic behind this decision. If sending Maddox to the ground with spasms gets a tag team contender placement,
then will a stabbing be rewarded with a World Title shot?"
Junior: "Furthermore, Mark Murphy and Cliff Ragsdale, two men associated with this tag team, have already been suspended-"
[Jett Robinson appears behind his brother. He reads the email while chomping on popcorn.]
Jett: "What are you doing?"
Junior: "Writing an email to Madame Wu. I don't think the Sin City Disciples shouldn't be facing us this weekend let alone be members of Up! Wrestling."
Jett: "Ayooooo Jum-bo!"
[Junior asks what his brother is doing. Jett yells another AYOOOOOOOO! until Jumbo enters the room. He is eating out of a large bag of potato chips.]
Jumbo: "What?"
Jett: "Junior is writing a letter to Madame Wu saying we shouldn't face those boys this weekend."
Jumbo: "You mean those corny outlaw guys? The guy with the taser."
Jett: "Yup."
[Jumbo stares at his brother.]
Jumbo: "So... you're just not going to send this."
Junior: "Why not? Madame Wu needs to know-"
Jumbo: "You don't think we can do it?"
Junior: "Do what?"
Jumbo: "Beat those guys."
Junior: "It doesn't matter if you can beat them or not, what matters is-"
Jumbo: "But can we beat them?"
Junior: "Of course you guys can. You guys beat Wicked. If they don't hit you with a taser, that is."
Jett: "So let's plan for that."
[Junior stares at brothers. He stares longer. Enough to make it awkward.]
Junior: "So I was being a Karen wasn't I?"
Jumbo & Jett: "Yes you were."
Junior: "I didn't realize. Thanks guys."
[Jumbo and Jett start to walk back to their rooms, but Junior stops them:]
Junior: "Oh guys, get this... these Sin City Disciples, guess what they called you?"
Jett: "What?"
Junior: "Backwards redneck hillbillies."
[It is Jett & Jumbo's turn to be silent.]
Jett: "I don't get it. Is that supposed to be a joke?"
Jumbo: "Eh who cares. Those guys must have been smoking that prison weed... Can black people even have rednecks?"
Junior: "Attention Madame Wu: I am writing to question the thinking behind scheduling the following match for the Friday Free-For-All XXXVII card. I am referring to the Haus of Salvaje vs. the Sin City Disciples vs. my brothers Jumbo and Jett Robinson."
