{The shot opens on a computer screen with Youtube up. Specifically, on a page with a video loaded titled "Kilroy/Marty Hardkore World Panel Treasured Memories" The video starts and the shot switches to the actual footage of the panel already in progress. Kilroy on the far right of the table and Marty on the far left. Kilroy is acting very genial and smiling, while Marty seems to be sulking in his seat. Between them is the panel host who is quieting the full crowd down. Kilroy leans into his mic.}
Kilroy Evans: Now, you may notice that current Hardkore World Heavyweight Champion Marty Donovan---
Disney's Marty Donovan: Disney's!
Kilroy Evans: ---Disney's Marty Donovan is upset. Do you want to tell them or should I?
{Marty, no longer in his Flynn Rider outfit, sits on the opposite end of the table with the title in front of him. He's crossed his arms and is fuming.}
Disney's Marty Donovan: Because you live to ruin every moment of my day you can.
{The crowd "oohs." Kilroy looks over and shakes his head.}
Kilroy Evans: It's best not to encourage him.
Disney's Marty Donovan: I think that's your life motto: "Don't encourage Marty Donovan!"
Kilroy Evans: Disney's.
Disney's Marty Donovan: Shut up!
{Kilroy starts laughing as the panel crowd reacts.}
Panel Host: Well maybe I can jump in and help here.
Disney's Marty Donovan: Please don't, it'll just make this take longer.
{The crowd gives a good laugh at that. Marty almost looks offended that they're enjoying this.}
Panel Host: I just wanted to point out that Kilroy came out here and sat down in Marty's seat. Why?
Disney's Marty Donovan: Because he lives to take my happiness from me!
Kilroy Evans: Or...it's because I heard you grumbling that you were happy that your seat was closest to the exit so you could bolt whenever you'd had enough.
[There's a pause as Marty and Kilroy stare at each other.]
Disney's Marty Donovan: Just like I said!
Panel Host: On that note, let's start the panel!
{Marty puts a hand on the title belt and stares at Kilroy. Kilroy looks back with a smile and leans forward in his seat, which he's pushed back so he can get up quickly. Marty finally leans back in his seat with an exasperated sigh.}
Panel Host: Oh man.
{The crowd cheers for the exchange, which prompts Marty to sit back up.}
Disney's Marty Donovan: Stop enjoying this, it's not a bit!
Kilroy Evans: Everything's a bit. But Marty, seriously, why are you so riled right now?
Disney's Marty Donovan: I know you took it! It's not in my bag and you're the only one who'd care enough to f---scr---mess with me like this!
Kilroy Evans: On the clock with Disney?
Disney's Marty Donovan: Where's my Flynn outfit?! I took it off so I wouldn't mess it up as I ate my contractually obligated lunch time Mickey bars and now it's gone!
Kilroy Evans: I...don't know. Why would I take it? It looks better on you than me.
Disney's Marty Donovan: {throwing his hands up} OBVIOUSLY!
Kilroy Evans: Well, I didn't take it. I've had my hands full.
Disney's Marty Donovan: Well who did, huh?!
[The shot cuts to a different part hall of the con as Dina, dressed as Flynn Rider, is awarded first place in the costume contest. She brays triumphantly as the crowd goes wild. The shot cuts back to the panel.]
Kilroy Evans: *shrugs while making an "I dunno" noise.*
Panel Host: This seems like it's not going to get any less contentious. How about we work backward and do some Q&A before things get out of hand.
Kilroy Evans: Sure thing!
Disney's Marty Donovan: I'm legally required to say yes.
Panel Host: If you have a question for either Marty or Kilroy, go ahead and step up to the microphone in the aisle.
[People eagerly jump up and form a line. A guy in his late teens, early twenties starts off.]
Guy: This one is for Kilroy.
Disney's Marty Donovan: Excuse me? Hardkore World Heavyweight Champion right here and you start with one of the chumps who lost the tag titles last show?!
Kilroy Evans: Oh sorry, did you want to take a question?
Disney's Marty Donovan: Absolutely not!
Kilroy Evans: *stifling laughter* This is exactly what I hoped it would be. *turns back to the fan* What's the question?
Guy: Are you worried about facing Eron Hunter in Sacramento?
Kilroy Evans: Not really, no.
{There's some murmuring in the crowd.}
Kilroy Evans: Hold on, hold on, I misphrased that.
Disney's Marty Donovan: A not insignificant part of your job is to talk for a living and you can't handle it.
Kilroy Evans: I know where all my clothes are.
{Marty buries his head in his hands on the table and lets out a muffled, frustrated scream. Kilroy patiently waits for him to finish before answering.}
Kilroy Evans: I'm not worried, because that match is going to be a relief. I know people love it when there's just hard emotion fueling a match or even just pure hatred. I'm a fan too and I love it. You feel that just permeate the match.
Disney's Marty Donovan: Permeate? What are you even talking about?
Kilroy Evans: *still looking at the fan* Online dictionaries are a thing, man. But with a match like the one I'm in with Eron Hunter, it's my other favorite type of wrestling match. Just two people that you like just going after each other. The only big reason they need to fight is the fact that they're booked against each other. Eron Hunter is a phenomenal wrestler, and the chance to just absolutely wreck each other is a kind of joy I can only get from wrestling. Both as a career highlight and as a fan. It's so cool.
{Snoring sounds reverberate through the speakers. There some laughter as Kilroy smiles and rolls his eyes. He looks at Marty.}
Kilroy Evans: Stop being a dick. Or just take an actual nap. You might feel better.
{Marty puts his hand to his chest in faux outrage.}
Disney's Marty Donovan: How dare you lecture me while you're putting the crowd to sleep. You used to be cool!
{The crowd "oohs" again. Kilroy suddenly stands up almost yells into his mic.}
Kilroy Evans: Hey! HEY! *Kilroy stares at Marty in silence for a moment* I...have never, EVER, been cool in my life, mister!
{Kilroy sits back down.}
Kilroy Evans: So I'm not worried because it'll be pure fun. More physically exhausting than emotionally, and I plan to put Eron Hunter through all of his paces. We'll all get to see if he's got the goods to stay king of the west.
Disney's Marty Donovan: He doesn't have a lot to worry about.
Kilroy Evans: You better hope I win! Because if I beat him, then you get to say you're definitely better than him because---
{Marty immediately cuts off Kilroy.}
Disney's Marty Donovan: ---because I beat you! I got there! I got there first!
Kilroy Evans: *looks at fan* Thanks for the question, man.
{The guy walks away and there's some applause. The next person to step up to the mic is a young lady dressed in a Rapunzel cosplay, complete with frying pan. She's holding an index card.}
"Rapunzel": This question is for Hardkore Champion...Su---Surprime? Uh, Marty Donovan! Marty, your handwriting is really jittery.
{Marty sits up and puffs his chest out proudly.}
Disney's Marty Donovan: Hello random wrestling fan with excellent taste! You have a question for Hardkore World Champion Disney's Marty Donovan?
Kilroy Evans: Is it "why is Marty's handwriting so bad?" Hi, Ollie!
{Kilroy waves to Ollie. She happily returns it.}
Ollie: Hi, Kilroy! *clears throat* Mr. Donovan, which of Syberus' flaws do you find most pathetic? *squints at card* Pretend to swoon over commanding stage presence.
Disney's Marty Donovan: Well, if you manage to stay awake after he starts talking, you start to notice all the parts that make up the awful package that is Syberus. To start---
{As Marty gets up, mic in hand, to really get going. Kilroy jumps in suddenly.}
Kilroy Evans: That is an incredible outfit! Oh, I just saw the stuffed Pascal on your shoulder! Awesome!
{The panel crowd applauds Ollie's outfit and she modestly accepts their praise as Marty grumpily slumps back into his chair.}
Ollie: Thank you!
Panel Host: Any other questions?
Ollie: Oh, yes! Kilroy, do you have any embarrassing Marty stories?
Kilroy Evans: Only enough to extend this panel by at least two hours.
Disney's Marty Donovan: No! No!
Kilroy Evans: But I won't do that. There's just too many. Like three days into traveling together, I had to start keeping a journal to chronicle it all. Remind me later, I'll get you a copy.
Disney's Marty Donovan: A copy?! Ollie, anything you read falls under your NDA. Kilroy, I really need, uh, your autograph on something real quick.
Kilroy Evans: Gee, why would I ever want to have a match with Eron Hunter and just focus on wrestling someone without any baggage. For my own sense of fun and personal fulfillment? Scoff. Scoff, I say!
Disney's Marty Donovan: *annoyed* You're not supposed to say it, you're supposed to do it!
Kilroy Evans: *deadpan* Thank you, Marty.
Panel Host: Next question!
{Ollie waves as she leaves and Kilroy reciprocates. Phillip Blauer steps up after her. He has a shirt on that reads "SENPAI IN THE STREETS, HENTAI IN THE SHEETS." Kilroy mouth drops open slightly.}
Phillip Blauer: Hello, I have a question for Disney's Marty Donovan! Are there any exciting projects you and people you're working with have somcing out soon. And to Kilroy Ervins, is it demoralizing to try and fail to stand on the same stage as Disney's hottest rising star?
{It's dead quiet as Kilroy stares at Blauer in disbelief and Marty beams with joy, giving Phillip a thumbs up. Kilroy suddenly turns to Marty.}
Kilroy Evans: Let actual fans ask questions! Why are you like this?!
Disney's Marty Donovan: Spite!
{The shot cuts to a graphic that reads: "IT WENT ON LIKE THIS FOR ANOTHER 82 MINUTES" before it fades out and the video ends.}
Kilroy Evans: Now, you may notice that current Hardkore World Heavyweight Champion Marty Donovan---
Disney's Marty Donovan: Disney's!
