HD: Jade/Heat segment

Recommended Posts

Backstage we swoop, as everybody's favourite boyband manager Jade Rodez is in mid-conversation on her funky-fresh new cellphone. I don't know what make, as I myself am not funky-fresh. But, consider it similiar to one that those funky-fresh Hollywood star people use all the time. Jade's conversation isn't audible, possibly because someone in the sound system flubbed up, possibly because it's not all that important. Especially as it's cut off within the next few seconds...


*OOF!*

...as, absent-mindedly, she walks straight into a burly Colombian, dropping the phone.

COLOMBIAN HEAT
Yo, check yoself foo'!

JADE
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm... (picks up phone, whic is clearly broken) real sorry... aw man, I just bought this!

HEAT
Don't be lookin' at me now girl. Ya'll shoulda been watchin' where you were walkin'.

After a quick surveyance of the small, mangled phone in her hand, Jade presses the button to hang up. Of course, that actual button is lying by her right foot, but she doesn't want to end up with a ridiculous phone bill now, does she.

JADE
It's okay. I'm sure it's fixable...

Right on cue, another piece falls off the phone. Nothing major, just the keypad.

JADE
Or... not.

HEAT
Anyone important?

JADE
Nah, just some guy I met down in Australia when I was out with Krista and Alix and he bought me a couple of drinks, I must have given him my number, which is odd because I didn't even have the phone then, Krista only bought me it the next morning because I told her I didn't have one and she was all like 'That's crazy, I'm'a Michael J. Fox your ass and bring you Back To The Future' or words to that effect. You know, I thought it was funny when she said Alix ate the reciept, because Alix doesn't tend to eat non-coloured paper...

Jade notices that Heat has stopped listening and trails off.

JADE
But, that's not important. So, uhm... how are you doing?

HEAT
Wha'?

JADE
After what happened.

HEAT
You only bumped into me, not like ya knifed me or nothin'.

JADE
No, I mean... with Stacey.

HEAT
Oh! (turns solemn) Aw, yeah, that. Yeah, I'm doin' real... real bad.

Despite Heat not seeming that genuinely broken hearted, Jade heart-strings tug a little anyway. Probably due to her boyband connections and long exposure to fake emotions.

HEAT
Yeah, ya know, coz I'm all alone... n' stuff. On mah own. And it's real whack. Without mah boo. It's like, mah heart... it feels like it's, like... broken inside, ya dig?

JADE
Yeah, I... I dig.

HEAT
Sometimes I sit an' I wonder if I'm'a ever love again.

JADE
Aw, I'm sure you'll find someone else.

HEAT
Ya reckon? Coz, you know, mah heart. Broken inside, or somethin'.

Suddenly, a lightbulb goes off in Jade's head.

JADE
You know, I think I know exactly what I can do to cheer you up!

HEAT
(perks up) Really? An' what would dat be then?

Heat seems a little happier now...

JADE
I'll challenge Stacey to a match!

...and, now, not so much.

HEAT
Say what now?

JADE
Yeah! I'll challenge her to a match and I'll kick her ass for you! That's what Krista would do. And, she'd do it on Pay Per View so she'd get a bigger payday! Perfect! She needs a little bit of a reality check and that's exactly what I'm going to give her, Stacey that is, not Krista, obviously. Listen, I'm going to go and challenge her right now, while I'm in the zone. And hey, good luck tonight with your match. Thanks for the idea!

HEAT
Nah, don't mention it...

Jade merrily jogs off as Heat scratches his head, watching as she disappears off into the distance with a rather confused look.

HEAT
Man, what's up wit' bitches round here?
