Guest DawnBTVS Report post Posted June 24, 2003 FADE IN *We slowly zoom up a gravel driveway to the front door of an old Victorian house, made roughly 1934. A hand appears and bangs the knocker 3 times as the door opens, revealing a smiling Danny Conklin, clad in green bathrobe with clovers covering it, blue velvet slippers and a stovepipe stuck between his lips. He takes out his pipe, smiles and nods his head as we make our way forward towards the living room. As we enter the living room, Danny shuts the door. We spot the fire crackling in the fireplace as Janet is seated on a black leather couch, wearing a white nightgown partly covered by her blue satin robe. Her amber red hair is held back in a ponytail as she places her book on the side table and turns on the lamp. She smiles as Danny walks back in, two cups of coffee in his hands. He hands one to Janet and the other to the cameraman as Danny takes a seat next to Janet and picks up the remote, quieting the television set however not muting it. Danny takes out his pipe, sets it down on the table and leans forward towards the camera* Danny: I've always hated when Mother Nature decides to get revenge with her bitter coldness. Aye, been raining quite a bit here as of late too. Janet: News said it should lessen up over the next few days. Danny: Always making everything right Janet. Why I love you so my fair lady. *They share a quick kiss as Danny leans back, resting his back against the couch* Danny: So, are you enjoying my home brew? Cameraman: Quite good Mr. Conklin. Danny: Glad you fond it. Can't wait for my first match in the SJL, should be a fight. *Danny cracks a smile and holds up both fists as Janet raises the volume on the television set a little. The reporter is talking about how an 11 year old boy was found in the woods of Nevada after missing for 2 months* Danny: Don't like to display these much but, well me drinking tends to get slightly out of hand. Gotta love my poppa, always wanted me to prove myself. Often ended up fightin' side by side with him, heck, even got myself banned once. Unfortunately, he had decided to stay over in Dublin, insisting that I do something with myself. *Danny stares above the camera. We pan and zoom into a row of pictures, many depicting a young Danny with his father....catching fish, at their home...and finally a couple pictures of Danny and Janet together* Danny: Had me fair share of fights when I arrived in Boston, pretty much homeless. Garnered quite a bit of respect I tells ya, until some laddy ratted me. Went to some correctional facility, able to hone me fighting skills there. Managed to break one laddy's cheekbone and quite a few ribs of another boy. Managed to cool down and finally got out. Learned the tricks of the trade in the "squared circle" as you yankees like to call it and upon a swing up in Maine, met this lovely beauty. *Janet peers over and smiles as Danny continues* Danny: As you saw, got in a fight already with some dumb pantywaist down at the local pub. Bernie's cool though, always forgiving of my mistakes and knows me issues quite well. Only reason I aren’t banned yet is I bring customers. Say, you look like quite the lad, care to spar? *The camera shakes left to right as the cameraman vigorously shakes his head no as Danny smiles and pats him on the shoulder* Danny: You be quite smart boy, never fight an Irish as they know how to use their fists. Aye, always good to be Irish when you are a fighter like me now. I like to fight as you've seen, get quite a few good rounds with the other laddys. Can't wait for my first match here in the SJL, because I get to whip some "ass" as many of you yanks like to say. Should be a memorable little battle, whomever me opponent decides to be. Janet: Speaking....of battles *Janet leans forward and whispers into Danny's ear. Danny blushes slightly but it quickly disappears as he smiles and stands up. Janet remains on the couch, smiling seductively.* Danny: Looks like your time's up boy. Pleasure meeting ya but it looks like other business needs attending. *Danny leads the cameraman to the front door and opens it as the cameraman steps through. We zoom into a shot of the front door, then pan to a shot of Danny's Dodge Viper parked in front of the garage door.* FADE OUT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
