Dinner with McDougal

[edwarddubin0604]

(Olympia is finished moving her possessions into the McDougal estate which she purchased as a permanent residence. She arranges things in the order that they belong at and is satisfied. Olympia walks through each of the rooms and she notices the paintings of each of the previous owners and continues to explore the hallways with curiosity. She enters the kitchen and sees the staff working.)

Cook: "Can I help you missy."

Olympia:  "What is going to be served for dinner tonight."

Cook:  "Steak Wellington with cooked potatoes served with a salad and the finest red wine."

Olympia:  "Sounds good."

Cook:  "Would you like anything else ma'am."

(Olympia is about to leave but turn around curiously.)

Olympia:  "There is something I need to know."

Cook:  "What do you need to know."

Olympia:  "Can you tell me about McDougal."

Cook:  "You really want to know."

Olympia:  "Yes.  I heard the town spreading rumors about him and I wanted to know the truth."

Cook:  "You mean if he and the family were mad."

Olympia:  "Was he mad."

Cook:  "They weren't totally mad ma'am. They were always loyal to the king and queen and were fierce warrior clan and they fought in every war this country was ever in.  I'll tell you this though when Mac McDougal lost the very sword you found he died in shame and there was no heir to his legacy."

Olympia:  "Until I bought the estate and then found the sword."

Cook:  "Exactly ma'am."

Olympia:  "I'm not a McDougal."

Cook:  "I know but you bought the estate and now all this estate holds is yours including the staff."

Olympia:  "Is there any documentation of their history."

Cook:  "Maybe in either his private study or his library.  Believe me the McDougal's always loved reading the classics whether the Greek or Roman classics they loved those books and novels."

Olympia:  "I don't doubt it.  Thanks and please inform me when dinner is served."

(Olympia leaves and heads for the McDougal library and sees the impressive collection of books.  She picks one and begins reading it impressed by the authors attention to detail but feels she's being watched and looks up but only sees the painting of McDougal.  She continues reading until she sees the door open and the Cook enters.)

Cook:  "Dinner is ready ma'am."

Olympia:  "Thank you."

(Olympia puts the book down and leaves following the Cook to the dining room.  She sits down and removes the silver cover to reveal her dinner and is quit impressed by the way it looks.  She uncorks the wine bottle and pours some in a glass as she hears someone clearing his throat and she looks up to see a man looking at her.)

Olympia:  "Who are you."

Mac McDougal:  "The name's Mac...Mac McDougal and I'm happy to make your acquaintance."

Olympia:  "Right and I'm a bimbo like my opponent Lady Lana Windsor."

Mac McDougal:  "Oh you're leading a resistance against the crown are you?"

Olympia:  "She's my opponent in my wrestling match."

Mac McDougal:  "Interesting."

Olympia:  "Now tell me who you really are."

Mac McDougal:  "I already told you missy.  Now tell me who you are."

Olympia:  "The name's Olympia and I bought this estate and I found your families sword."

Mac McDougal:  "I'm impressed by your detecting skills missy and I'm grateful you found it.  Why don't you dig in and enjoy your dinner."

Olympia:  "You aren't going to demand it back."

(Mac McDougal dismissively waves her comment off as she starts to eat.)

Mac McDougal:  "You bought my estate and you own the sword along with my spirit."

Olympia:  "So you'll be haunting me everywhere I go."

Mac McDougal:  "I'm a ghost and I can be with you anywhere and anytime. I promise you I won't interfere in your business and you won't even know I'm there."

Olympia:  "So you won't follow me all over the place."

Mac McDougal:  "I'll stay where I am while you are away doing battle against your enemies.  So tell me about this Lady Lana Windsor."

Olympia:  "You really want to know."

Mac McDougal:  "Of course.  I love a story about royalty and you probably have a great story to tell."

Olympia:  "You want to know about my opponent Lady Lana Windsor."

Mac McDougal:  "Of course."

Olympia:  "Where do I start."

Mac McDougal:  "Oh how about from the very beginning lass."

Olympia:  "Fine.  Lady Lana Windsor thinks she's some kind of big time rock star, who thinks she's both a professional wrestler and British royalty.  I trashed her and called her out on it and I'm  actually happy she accepted my challenge and in Bolton I'm going to show her who the true athlete really is."

Mac McDougal:  "Oooh tough talk lassie.  You better be able to back it all up or she's going to defeat you in battle."

Olympia:  "I'm totally focused on that phony royal and I won't back down from her or anyone and I haven't in the six-years I wrestled in a ring."

Mac McDougal:  "Now that's not just talk but a true oath of a true warrior."

Olympia:  "That's why I'm known as 'The Golden Spartan.'"

Mac McDougal:  "Named after an ancient Greek people who defeated the Persians thousands of years ago."

Olympia:  "Yeah and they were tough and disciplined which is what I am and I never backed down from a battle, war or a fight.  Compared to someone who should be wrestling Harry and Meghan in private videos.  I'm more legitimate than she is and I'm going to prove it."


Mac McDougal:  "Bravo lassie.  I would love to see a commoner kick the arse of someone who thinks she's a member of the royal family. Teach that snob a lesson she will never forget."

Olympia:  "If her man-servant interferes I'm going to rip his outfit off and choke them both with it."

Mac McDougal:  "Oh you really hate her that much."

Olympia:  "no it's called conducting business."

(Mac McDougal smiles as Olympia eats and the scene slowly fades to black.)
