SCENE 1
[The scene opens to an airport terminal. Closer inspection reveals that this establishment is located in Chicago, Illinois. Passengers are being boarded onto a plane that is headed for Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The crowd includes businessmen sporting dark sunglasses while carrying leather briefcases, mothers and fathers tenderly swaddling infants, rowdy young-ins tugging at the sleeves of their parents. Maxwell A. Nickelson fits in quite nicely with the crowd. His gray suit, trench coat & patterned fedora make him look almost identical to the average Joes that surround him. But M.A.N. is much different from the other men. He’s a professional wrestler working for MPW. And come Sunday he’ll be making his PPV Debut! He can barely contain his excitement. But it has been a long journey from his hometown of Lancaster to Chicago and now back home. Maxwell’s tired, very tired. He’s about to slip into a blissful slumber when he feels the delicate vibration of his Cell Phone coming from his pocket. M.A.N. Takes it out and sees his has a text message from a blocked number]
“I’LL BE OUTSIDE YOUR HOUSE WHEN YOU GET HOME. DO NOT BE ALARMED”
[Max is startled. It’s a strange message, that’s for sure. Who would fly all the way to Lancaster just to talk to him? This must be something very important. But how would they know where he lives? This must be someone he knows, someone he knows very well at that. Not someone in his contacts though. Still puzzled by the mystery M.A.N. responds]
“Who is this?”
“ADAM”
[M.A.N. is startled. He doesn’t know any Adams. At least none that would be texting him, telling him that they would be sitting outside his house when he got back. The Newcomer thinks for a moment before deciding to continue the search for the mystery individual’s identity]
“Adam who?”
[Maxwell is forced to wait a bit longer this time. When the answer to his question finally arrives, it sounds frustrated]
“ADAM STEELE FROM MPW. WHO ELSE? MY GOD, YOU’RE EVEN STUPIDER THAN YOU LOOK! I CAN’T BELIEVE NATHAN PICKED YOU AS OUR PARTNER”
[The attendant announces Max’s flight number over the loudspeaker. As his ticket is checked by a perky blonde lady in a red uniform he relaxes. Adam just wanted to talk strategy, that was all. But why had he been so cruel? M.A.N. never claimed to be the smartest man in the world but he didn’t think he was stupid. Adam sure did. He had agreed to team with them for experience. After all, opening a Pay Per View was sure going to be fun! At the time his partners seemed all right. But as he boarded the plane, he wasn’t so sure]
SCENE 2
“Hey jerk off!”
[M.A.N. turns abruptly looking for the cause of the disturbance. He finds Adam Steele sitting upright on his front porch sporting a scowl]
Adam Steele: Don’t act so surprised. I told you I was gonna be here, didn’t I? Now come here.
[Adam smacks the porch. Realizing this means he wants him to take a seat, Maxwell does just that]
M.A.N: So um…what’s this about Mr. Steele?
[Adam rolls his eyes]
Adam Steele: What do you think Nickelson?!
M.A.N: Please, call me M.A.N. or Max. Both are perfectly fi…..
Adam Steele: I asked you a question, dammit!
[M.A.N. jumps back a bit. Not wanting to answer incorrectly, he ponders the question for a moment]
M.A.N: Well we’re teaming up this Sunday, aren’t we?
Adam Steele: I should hope so.
M.A.N: Strategy!
Adam Steele: What about it?
M.A.N: You want to talk strategy, right?
Adam Steele: Very good. Now, unfortunately, Nathan couldn’t make it today so I’m stuck with you.
[Thinking this a joke, M.A.N. laughs. BIG mistake. Adam slaps him straight across the face and begins screaming manically]
Adam Steele: WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU’RE LAUGHING ABOUT BOY?!?!?
[M.A.N. Looks shocked. He holds the part of his face where Adam slapped him]
M.A.N: I…I mean…I thought…
Adam Steele: You don’t think anything of the sort! This is no laughing matter. Do you understand me?!
[M.A.N. nods his head. He looks close to tears. Adam softens up a bit]
Adam Steele: Look kid, all I’m saying is that you can’t take these people lightly. Have you seen the men & women we’re going up against at Uncivil War? These people are world champions. Maybe I’m being a little too tough on you. What do you say we end all this hostility crap?
[M.A.N. Sniffles]
M.A.N: Sounds good. I do get where you’re coming from though. How did you find my place anyway?
[Adam chuckles]
Adam Steele: I know your mom.
M.A.N: WHAT?!
Adam Steele: Relax bro. My brother Matt teaches her Pilates class.
M.A.N: Oh. That makes sense.
Adam Steele: Now let’s get to it! First off we have Kayley Hale. This girl may seem like she’s some 12 year old bubble of sunshine but don’t let that fool you: She’s dangerous.
M.A.N: How do you know?
[Adam lets out a grim laugh]
Adam Steele: I’m a student of the game Max. I know when people are hiding things to use to their advantage. Maybe Kayley really is this joyful sweetheart who just happens to have the body of a Playboy covergirl. But one thing’s for sure: We cannot, I repeat, CAN NOT underestimate her ability.
[M.A.N becomes dreamy]
M.A.N: Underestimate…
Adam Steele: Huh?!
[He turns to face Steele]
M.A.N: I’ve been saying that left and right lately, it feels like. Especially to one Stefan Lajoie.
Adam Steele: He’s really been annoying you, hasn’t he?
M.A.N: It’s just that he thinks I’m some type of disgrace towards our business! I get I’m new, but he’s no veteran himself. I get not everyone will like me but if you don’t respect me, I won’t stand for it! I give it my all each and every night. I’ve done enough to make it here, haven’t I? Stefan can think he’s better than me. But prove it in the ring not through Twitter.
Adam Steele: You’ve certainly got a fire lit under your ass. We can only hope it helps us win this Sunday. Then there’s Hawk.
[M.A.N. Shivers]
M.A.N: The whole Hangman thing scares me.
Adam Steele: You’re not the only one Max. But one has to conquer their fears. And I know you will. Because just like you’ve always told everyone, you have a burning desire to be the very best. That’ll help us this Sunday. Just like my experience and Nathan’s tenacity. We will win this thing. And you, my friend, are a key ingredient.
M.A.N: Me?
Adam Steele: You.
[M.A.N. Swells up with pride. He pulls out his trusty Smartphone and turns it so it’s facing him and Adam]
M.A.N: Come on, I’m sure the website folks could use some new material.
[Adam rolls his eyes but says nothing. M.A.N. clicks play]
M.A.N: Howdy wrestling fans! My name is Maxwell A. Nickelson and this is Adam Steele.
[They both wave]
M.A.N: This Sunday we team with Nathan James to take on Hawk, Kayley Hale & Stefan Lajoie. While it may be true that these folks are former and current World Heavyweight Wrestling Champions, you can never count out a team of misfits.
Adam Steele: Nope. Because Misfits are radically hip!
M.A.N: What he said. My point is, we’re all a little different. Nathan is an outcast. I’m kind of your typical nerd. And Adam? He’s…Well…Kind of….Special. We may not have seen eye to eye originally bet we’ve all kind of bonded. We’re a team. And we’re gonna kick all of your booty’s this Sunday as a team! Kayley, Hawk and ESPECIALLY Stefan are in for a post Christmas surprise that will rock their world’s. This is the dawning of a new era. This is the era of the Misfits!
