The scene opens up with Lance Erikson exiting the movie "Grindhouse" by Quentin Tarantino. He checks his watch and shrugs his shoulders, heading to his Beemer sitting in the parking lot. He flips his trenchcoat off and slings it into the empty passenger seat as he hops into his car and speeds off into the distance. The camera cuts back in as Lance is seen walking down the Star Pavilion backstage area. He walks into the Four Horsemen locker room and looks around at its emptiness. After a few moments of standing there in the dark, the lightswitch gets flipped on. Lance wheels around and sees Greg Kilgreen standing there. He looks at the cameraman standing behind Greg with disgust.
Lance Erikson: What?
Greg Kilgreen: I was leaving for the day and I saw you walking here. Figgered you might want to answer a few questions for me.
Lance Erikson: Well you figured wrong. I don't need to waste my time with you.
Lance's phone beeps and he flips it open, watching a streaming telecast from BBK, doing something with traffic, whatever that's about. Lance closes the phone and turns back to Greg.
Lance Erikson: Fine, I'll answer a couple.
Greg Kilgreen smiles and pulls the microphone up to his mouth.
Greg Kilgreen: So, Lance Erikson. Member of the...two horsemen it seems to be right now. What's the future of this stable of yours?
Lance Erikson: Frankly, I don't know. There's a lot of things I don't know right now. I've been doing my part, working my ass off and all of a sudden, both the Hunter's are gone. Maybe Dave is feeling some remorse for his brother or something, I don't know, I don't care. I'll wait until the new member is unveiled this week. Ci's been keeping his mouth shut on me, so I'll make up my mind then. Chances are, we'll keep right where we're at, kicking ass and taking titles.
Greg Kilgreen: Speaking of titles, you're teaming with the Heavyweight Champion this week, Shawn Stevens. What are your thoughts on that?
Lance Erikson: Okay, Shawn, this is to you. We've worked together before, and we won. I'll do my part. You had better damn sure do yours. I don't need to hear this whining and bitching about how you get no respect. Not when we're about to face a group of guys known to take advantage of weaknesses. Don't you dare get soft Shawn. I'm one of your partners for this match and I don't need to hear about how you're being used for your drawing power. Get over yourself. You and I are definently not the most popular people here in POW. Basically, here's what I'm saying. I will do my part to make sure this match ends with Murderous Entertainment in a bloody and battered heap in the center of the ring. I will work with you and Big Ci to make that a reality. Don't disappoint me Shawn, don't piss me off.
Greg Kilgreen: Wow, doesn't sound like you have much res...
Lance Erikson: (Interrupting) Why should I? I don't know the guy that well. We've never faced off in a match. The only thing we had to do with each other was one little match a couple of months ago. I'm not going to kiss his ass because he's the Champion. I'll work with him because that's what I need to do to win. I'm not that stupid Greg, and neither is he.
Greg Kilgreen: Okay, now you're gonna be facing off against...
Lance Erikson: (Interrupting once again) Murderous Entertainment. I know. We get the collective brain cell of BBK, Midnight Felon, and Daye. Shawn is right though. Night is going to be a factor. Why doesn't Tito just make this a three on four match? That's what it's going to turn into anyway. BBK and Midnight Felon, you two don't take me seriously enough. You're sitting there, playing Duck Hunt and getting a tan while semis pass. You guys hurt me last week, I'll give you that, but now I'm not happy. It's no titles this week, it's just pride. I'm coming to get mine back. Blood will spill this week, no doubt about it. I don't care if I lose any, as long as I see yours plastered across my trusty brass knuckles.
Greg Kilgreen: What about...
Lance Erikson: (Interrupting a THIRD time) How could I forget about you Daye? You won the AAA medallion last week and already you're mind is somewhere else. You want George Duke's belt? Go ahead and take it. But remember this, he's not your opponent this week. I'M your opponent this week. Me, Big Ci, and Shawn Stevens. Sorry to burst your bubble, but George Duke isn't going to be anywhere near this match. You better realize this before I have your manhood in a case on my mantlepiece. You don't need to be sitting there on your phone with your little camera, you need to be worried about me. I'll break that damn camera if I have to.
Greg Kilgreen: Har...
Lance Erikson: (Interrupting a final time) Everybody else's minds seem to be somewhere else this week. Midnight Felon can't turn the Nintendo off, Daye is too busy trying to break into Hollywood, Shawn Stevens is complaining about how things are run and what people are saying about him. I haven't seen or heard from Big Ci since Spring Breakage, and Mr. Ego BBK himself is busy carving out those tan lines that his Ego Title has given him. I guarantee you this Greg; my mind is 100% focused this week.
Lance Erikson storms out of the room as Greg Kilgreen can be heard wrapping up the interview.
