King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2008 Like, before the intro. That's not technically opening segment. If that's a problem, then... well, I dunno, do something about it! [b]EARLIER TODAY[/b] Backstage in the arena we see lovebirds Leon Rodez and Maggie Nerdly sat together on a metal production equipment case somewhere behind the entrance stage. Things still seem tense between the two as anyone who's been following the show would assume. But at least they're within a couple of feet of each other and talking. Leon's hand rests on top of Maggie's, who looks pretty forelorn. MAGGIE It's just getting too much. I mean, everybody's talking and being the topic of gossip around here isn't exactly fun for somebody who's gotta go round interviewing people all the time. Guys round here ain't got much in the way of manners. You should have heard the things Reject said to me last week. LEON I did and I'm sorry you have to put up with it. But you've just got to try and not let it affect you babe. It's something we're going to have to sort out between us. Forget everybody else. Nobody else really knows anything, it's just gossip. MAGGIE I know. LEON Anyone who speaks out of turn'll have me to answer to. Or Tyler and Shayne if I'm busy, either's good. The two share a brief smile, just as ZACK MALIBU walks into shot grabbing their attention. ZACK Hey Maggie. Leon. Can I have a quick word? LEON Uh, now's not really a good time. ZACK It's kind of important. Sighing, Leon motions to Maggie to give him a second before standing up and leading Zack out of earshot by the arm. LEON Listen, don't take this the wrong way Zack, but... now really [i]isn't[/i] a good time. Can this not wait? ZACK Right. Sure. When you're done with your relationship issues, come find me. LEON There's no need to get like that... ZACK I'm sorry. It's just, I've kind of got some problems of my own to worry about right now. Like wrestling five people tonight. Somehow Maddix has got me booked in a Gauntlet Match against him and his followers later, which is all I need. Who knows what's going on right now for that to have come to fruition. Anyway, I could do with speaking to you before then at least. If Maddix has his way I won't be around to say much afterwards. Leon takes a quick look back at Maggie. LEON Look, I've gotta go do my show soon. Once I'm done with that, I'll come find you. ZACK Thanks. Zack pats Leon on the shoulder before heading off. Leon shakes his head as he strolls back over apologetically to Maggie, sitting back down next to her as we [B]roll V.T[/B]... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
