[E.B. Marcus]

The scene opens with EB Marcus, Annie Lust, and Satin Clouds at the RCW headquarters at the Boys and Girls Club. This is the first time that Marcus has actually set up an interview with Bettie Lee Rose since his "Early" days.

Marcus is dressed in a dark blue button up dress shirt, a pair of black dress pants, and mirrored sunglasses as usual. The girls are wearing a matching pink and white short dresses, that leave little to the imagination.

BLR: I'm here with "The Elite" EB Marcus. It's good to see you again.

Annie and Satin step in front of Marcus, Marcus gives them a nod to let them know everything is okay.

Marcus: It's okay ladies. Calm down.

BLR: I'm very sorry.

Marcus: We're all here to do a job, and that's it.

BLR: It's been a roller coaster ride for you since your return to RCW. You've had some major wins over some major superstars here. You even put the members of your own stable, Climax of th' Night, out of a job with RCW.

Marcus: Bettie, Drexl and Galen put themselves out of a job. I made a challenge, they thought they could win. They didn't. That's it.

BLR: Last week, you even scored a victory over the current Natural Champion, Vash.

Marcus: I did, didn't I?

BLR: So for all those efforts, AJ Supreme and Ben Jacobs put you in a title contendership for the Natural Championship this week against Alexander Rose.

Marcus: I've admitted plenty of times in the past how smart AJ and Benjamin are. They were smart to put me in this match, but to be honest, I should already have the Natural title. There's no reason I should have to prove myself again.

BLR: And what about Alexander Rose?

Marcus: What about him? Did Alex Rose have a win over Vash?

BLR: Ummm. No.

Marcus: Your right. Do I have a win over Vash?

BLR: Yes.

Marcus: Then that's your answer Bettie.

BLR: But Alexander Rose did beat the odds last week and gain a victory over the RCW Tag Team Champions, CJ Swanson and Josh Davis.

Marcus: Then they should hand him the tag titles. At least for once, AJ and Benjamin could say someone earned a title lately.

BLR: What are you implying?

Marcus: Vash signed a deal with Jeffrey Wishecould. Jeffrey handed him the Natural title. Now they are off playing Razorback Mountain together.

BLR: Razorback Mountain?

Marcus: It's a pun, Bettie. Vash and Wishecould are off playing Razorback Mountain. Brokeback Mountain. Get it?

BLR: Ohhh. Oh. Oh my word.

Marcus: Exactly. Then little boy blue CJ Swanson walks in, and also signs a deal with Inbred For Glory, and he gets handed a title. Now, guys like myself and Alex Rose have to go a prove ourselves. Which I have no problem with, Bettie. I don't mind going through one more person this week just to get to the top. I'm not taking anything from Alex. I saw what he did last week, but hopefully for him he saw what I did last week too.

Marcus pushes his glasses up on top of his head so that he can look into the camera.

Marcus: Bettie, this is the season, whether or not you love someone or hate them, or whether your beaten and broken from all the competition, you have to look ahead and move forward. This is the time for me and Alex Rose to go in there and prove ourselves.

BLR: Exactly what AJ and Ben want you to do.

Marcus: But what I'm getting at, Bettie, is this is the very last time I set out to prove myself in this company. This is the last contendership match that I take on in Razorback Championship Wrestling.

BLR: What do you mean?

Marcus: I'm done. Regardless of the outcome of my match with Alex Rose this week, and regardless of the outcome of Doug Getalong and Jeffrey Wishecould at Unbroken, I will be a contender. Not for the Natural title, but the Southern Heritage Championship. So I hope AJ and Benjamin are listening.

BLR: So you don't want the Natural Championship?

Marcus: That's not what I'm saying Bettie. It would be nice to be the Natural Champion, and from what the world saw last week, it wouldn't be that hard for me to do. I'm saying that I'm not stopping there. Regardless of what happens between Alex Rose and myself this week. Regardless of whether I go on to Unbroken to beat Vash and become the Natural champion, I will be a contender for the Southern Heritage Championship, one way or another. I know that Inbred For Glory has all the titles, and one by one I'll take them away from them. Vash will just be a start, Alex Rose will just be a stepping stone to get there. After Unbroken, I will beat down Jeffrey Wishecould or Doug Getalong or whoever owns the title so much that they'll beg AJ and Benjamin to give me a title shot just to keep them from having to look over their shoulders. I've never said I was the nicest or cleanest wrestler in the business. If I learned one thing from Drifter, it's to be an opportunist. After Unbroken, that's what the world will see. I'm taking my opportunity, whether it's given to me or not. I'll use chairs, I'll use brass knuckles, I'll use fire, whatever it takes. But I will destroy all the competition and anyone else that stands in my way.

BLR: Oh my word.

Marcus: You already said that, Bettie.

BLR: Did I?

Marcus: Yes, but that's okay my dear. Sometimes it needs to be said twice.

BLR: Thank you.

The girls take another step towards Bettie, she backs up a step.

Marcus: Okay, I guess that's my cue to end this and get out of here. Thanks for the interview Bettie.

BLR: My pleasure.

Annie and Satin give Bettie Lee another dirty look. Marcus just ushers them out of the room as the scene closes.

[Alexander Rose]

The now familiar area of the confessional box comes into view. Dimly lit by the lit coming through the screened opening illuminates Alexander Rose, dressed in a gray pinstripe suit. He bows his head.

"The Prototype" Alexander Rose: Bless me Father, for I have sinned. It has been two weeks since my last confession.

The voice of from Rose's previous promo inside the confessional rings out.

Voice: Back again, eh? You know, using our church for wrestling promotional videos isn't being looked upon very highly. I happen to enjoy them, though.

"The Prototype" Alexander Rose: Thank you, Father. I only come here because this is a place of sanctuary and comfort. And I can bear my thoughts without fear- for all things must be beared inside the confessional.

Voice: Very well, go on.

"The Prototype" Alexander Rose: E.B. Marcus seems to think he can just breeze past me and go on to wear the Natural Title. Just like Creed Michaels thought he could breeze by me. Just like Josh Davis and CJ Swanson thought I'd be nothing but a walk in the park. What will all of you have in common tomorrow night? You'll all have been evolved with the Protoplex v1.0, and you'll all have been beaten by a man you all overlooked. And come Unbroken, Vash will brush me off, and he too will fall. I am the next evolution in professional wrestling, and not a person has yet to prove me otherwise. And come Southern Dynamite, "The Elite" will fail as well.

Rose crossed himself and continues on.

"The Prototype" Alexander Rose: The Elite wants to harp on the fact he pinned Vash, and that I didn't. From the looks of things around here, victories and whom they are over matter little in this game right now. Jeffery Hollywood and Bred for Glory monopolized the belts and two of the members didn't even win their titles. But see, I don't want to be handed anything. I want you, Marcus, and the rest of RCW to respect that I work for what I get. I don't expect to be just handed title shots like you seem to do. You beat the Natural Champion- big deal. They put you in Natural Title contendership for that win- be happy you got that much. And be grateful, because tomorrow night even that will be taken away from you.

Rose runs a hand through his head, contemplating.

Alexander Rose: Your right Marcus, now is the time for people to rise above the crowd. In the fallout of Hog Heaven spots are now open to be filled, and it's just up to the smartest and most talented to take them. Hollywood secured his, but are we really surprised? Without Ase around, Hollywood's obviously the top contender for Gavelon's belt. But the Natural title has always been the grab bag. Anybody can accend to that if they have the skill. And now, we both have that chance, Marcus. The difference between me and you is this- I know this is how my career will progress- attain the Natural Title, and establish myself as the next big star in RCW. Then focus on the Southern Heritage championship. You've been back in this business for about 2 months or so, and you've been impressive since your return. But remember before that you were nothing more than a mere tag wrestler, and not a very good one at that. You have to earn things, just like I do. But instead your talking about forcing yourself into Southern Heritage title contendership. How exactly will you be a contender for the Southern Heritage belt if you can't even beat the number one contender for the Natural belt?

Rose looks to the camera and flashes his goofy smile.

Alexander Rose: Some people just don't see the light until it's too late. They are blinded by pride. You, Marcus, will suffer this. I only hope it helps open your eyes and you will see the error of your ways. Because a man as talented as you should not be wasted on your own pride. Hopefully you will see. Hopefully all of you will see.

The camera slowly fade outs.
