The following preview is rated R for violence Roger Ebert said if Gene Siskel was alive, he would give it a thumbs up... Maxim called it One of the Best Movies To SEE Before You Die... The Domain Called it No BUD For Old Men... The camera fades outside of a Texaco gas station in Chicago, Illinois where it is its cheapest at $2.99 a gallon. The scene changes to the inside of the store where the man turns around and its Martie using the cash register. Footsteps are heard approaching to the register where a much older gentleman is eating a bag of peanuts. As the camera pans up from the peanuts, it seems to be Valek. Valek: How much? Martie: Sixty nine cents. Valek: And the gas? Martie: Ya'll getting any rain up your way? Valek looks up while eating one of the peanuts. Valek: And what way would that be? Martie: Well, I seen you was from Canada. Valek: And what business is it of yours... where im from... He looks at Martie up and down. Valek: Friendo? Ackward silence from both as Martie looks up himself. Martie: I didnt mean nothing by it. Valek: You didn't mean nothing? Martie: I was just... you know... passing the time. Valek continues to look at Martie. Martie: If you dont wanna accept that, I dont know what else I can do for you. Valek double blinks and continues to stare. Martie: Will there be something else? Valek: I dont know. Will there? Valek takes another bite of a peanut. Martie: Is there something wrong? Valek: With what? Martie: With anything. Valek: Is that what you're asking me? Is there something with anything? Martie: Will there be anything else? Valek: You already asked me that. Martie: Oh. Martie looks around the store confused not knowing what to do. Martie: Well... I need to see about closing now. Valek: See about closing? Martie: Yes sir. Valek: What time do you close? Martie: Now, we close now. Valek: Now is not a time. What time do you close? Martie: Generally, around dark. At dark. Valek continues to stare at Martie. Valek: You dont know what you're talking about do you? Martie: Sir? Valek: I said, you dont know what you're talking about. Martie slowly backs away from the register. Valek: What time do you go to bed? Martie: Sir? Valek: Your a bit retarded aren't you? I said. What. time. do YOU. Go to Bed? Martie: Oh. Somewhere around 1:30, I'd say around 1:30. I go to gay bars. Valek: I could come back then. Martie: Why would you be coming back? We'll be closed. I'd be at a gay bar. Valek: Yea, you said that. Martie stares at Valek blankly and turns his attention to something else. Martie: Well, I got to close now. Valek: You live in that pink house out back? Martie: Yes sir! I do. Valek: You lived here all your life? Martie: This is my partner's father's place, originally. Valek almost chokes on his peanut. Valek: You married into it? Martie: We lived in San Francisco, California for many years. Adopted a few kids like Brangelina there. In Frisco. We came out here about four years ago. Valek: You. Married into it? Martie: Well, if thats the way you want to put it. Valek: Well, I dont have some way to put it. That's just the way it is. Valek finishes the peanuts, crumples the bag, and puts it on top by the register. He diggs into his pocket and immidiately takes out a quarter. Valek: What's the most you ever lost on a coin toss? Martie: Sir? Valek: THE MOST. You. EVER. Lost. On a coin toss. Martie: I dont know. I couldn't tell you. Valek flicks the coin up and it lands on the top shelf as he puts his hand over it. Valek: Call it. Martie: For what? Valek: Just call it. Martie looks down at Valek's hand. Martie: Well, we need to know what we're calling it for here. I dont wanna lose my pink house. Valek: You need to call. I cant call it for you or it wouldn't be fair. Martie: I didn't put nothing up. Valek: Yes you did. You've been putting it up your whole life, you just didn't know it. Martie: My dick? Valek: No stupid. Do you know what date is on this coin? 1955. Martie: 1955? Valek: Yes and its been traveling 22 years to get here and now its here. And its either heads or tails. You have to say. Call it. Martie: Well, I need to know what I stand to win. Valek: Everything. Martie: How's that? Valek: You stand to win everything. CALL IT! Martie: Alright... hea... no... tai... no. Heads or tails. I like tails. But I like giving heads also. Valek: CALL IT! Martie: Alright. Heads it is. Valek turns to look down, uncovers the quarter, and its heads. Valek: Well done. Valek gives him the quarter and Martie is about to put it in his pocket. Valek: Dont put it in your pocket. Its your lucky quarter. Martie: Where do you want me to put it? Valek: Anywhere. Not in your pocket. Or it'll get mixed in with the others and becomes just a coin. Which it is. Valek turns around to walk away and Martie stands there looking at his shiny new quarter. He turns to look at the restroom and thinks about it for a minute. He walks over, unbuckles his belt, and walks inside the restroom as the camera fdes out. Camera fades in at the Charter One Pavillion in Chicago at Northerly Island Ernie Schivone - Welcome everyone to the 2008 BUDDIES!!! Ruthless Villain - We are once again live and we are coming to you straight from the Charter One Pavillion in Chicago, Illinois!!! With special appearances by Valek, Sparrow, Dante Cross, Foxy Roxy, and Vampira. Ernie - More will be announced later on. We also have our crack team of journalists presenting awards. Villain - But the most important award of the night is still the Wrestler of the year award. Lets start things off with the first presenter of the night. He's not up for any awards tonight, but he sure misses them. King Asshole, Syck! Syck walks out and makes his way to the podium with the award presenter who is the referee on Chaos Theory, Naomi Banks. Syck: Our first award of the night is for the Promo of the year. This award is something that I have won in the past 3 years. Except for last year because I wasn't here or else it would have been mine. Nova is seen sitting in the front row right next to Roxy and throws popcorn at him. Syck: Watch it up bub! Or ill make the baby say something new! Syck laughs as Nova stands up wanting to fight. Syck: Sit down. As I was saying. The only reason this award is not mine tonight is because Im in the middle of Identity Crisis 4 which drops next month. So there is no doubt in my mind that IC4 will be up for Promo of the year for next year. Then again, the odds of bringing back IC4 are as slim as the Guns N Roses Chinese Democracy cd dropping anytime soon. People begin to boo at Syck. Syck: The award for this year's Promo goes to someone who got everyone's attention. Take a good look at the screen for tonight, you voted for him. The camera pans over to the shot of the promo titled Saying What Needs To Be Said. After it is shown Syck looks at the crowd who are already in a chorus of boos. Syck: Give it up for the guy that got those people's attentin... Scott Addams! Camera pans over Scott Addams who is sitting right next to Tani Lyons, she gives him a kiss, he stands up, and has a smirk on his face like he knew he was going to win as he walks up to the stage. He takes the award from Naomi but Syck stops him to add in a few things. Syck: You also won Feud of the year and Stable of the year. Give it up for Scott Addams and his partner in the New Gen, Misery!!! Misery who are sitting right by Dante Cross stands up and starts walking up the stage as well. Syck moves out of the way and Scott leans into the microphone. Scott Addams: Ha, well I can’t say that I didn’t expect this. He looks at all three of his awards. Scott: Feud of the year, Stable of the Year, and Promo of the year. But what else is there that is really going to come when you’ve got greatness incarnate around? Zarek and Jade, frankly should be thanking me because if I wasn’t around to add substance to the group. Crowd: BOOOOOOOO!!! Scott: If I wasn’t around �?Hunter wouldn’t have been so outspoken toward me, Zarek wouldn’t have been so out spoken, none of them would because I am the heart and the soul of BUD and I never even held a championship yet. Maybe it’s because I’m just that damn good; no�? Scott pauses for a minute and smiles. Scott: It IS because I’m that damn good and it’s because this place needs me, and they want me. So really, the only two people I have to thank for my success are myself and my wonderful girlfriend Tani Lyons. The camera pans over to Tani Lyons who is proud of Scott. Scott: Other than that, frankly, everybody can piss off. And just remember one thing �?you’ll never be as good as Greatness Incarnate. He backs away and leaves the stage with his trophys while Misery continues to stand there as he leans into the microphone. Misery: Wow Scott, what an umm...interesting acceptance speech. However I do believe I was the one that started this fued, let alone a need for this team to be created. I was the one that challenged GoB to begin with, and management didn't think it was fair for me to kick all three of their asses. Thus, they gave me Jade and Scott. Misery grabs one of the trophies and looks at it. Misery: Was Scott the mastermind behind it all? Hell no. As far as I remember, Christina kicked Scott's ass at Ultimate War, and I beat Christina at the Valentine's Day special. If anything Scott was the weakest link of the New Gen. Misery: He takes his time as he looks at the other award. Misery: However, I think it's quite obvious how we could never function out of the ring, though we were pretty deadly inside. So who was the deciding factor for our team? I'll let the fans decide that. As for the promo, well I can't deny that it was because of you that everyone was out there. When you give an idiot a microphone, you're going to get a little of people telling him to shut up. Why do you think people always reply to Leaky's promos? And with that the shot pans over to Leaky Format who is standing up from his seat pointing at Misery while Syck, Naomi Banks, and Misery walk towards the back with the awards. |
