The slowly fades in with a shot of Double J Joe Jones looking rather worst for wear. His hair is mess, almost matted down and looking rather greasy like he hasn’t taken a bath in a few days. He’s sitting on his couch in his Manhattan apartment wearing only shorts, shorts that no doubt he has been wearing all week. On the coffee table are his three championship belts but their not the center piece of the table but rather empty beer cans and empty bottles of JD. They litter the top of the table. It’s been a rough week for Joe. Walking into the room carrying a cup of coffee is Nanook.
Nanook “You have to pull yourself together man. Mayhem is right around the corner.”
JJ “I can’t even think about that right now!” Joe looks up at Nanook as Nanook hands him a cup a coffee. Around Joe’s eyes they are red and puffy like he has been crying. He has the sniffles on top of it too.
Nanook “But you’re going to face Prozac! They guy who walked out on you last week! You going to let that punk get away with that??”
JJ “Right now I don’t care about Prozac….(sniff)…He’s nothing. He’s not even my tag team partner to begin with. Shawn Sanders is…..(sniff)…..He’s the best tag team partner a guy can ask for…..”
Nanook “But Prozac stiffed you. You’re the greatest wrestler the wrestling world has ever seen. You are the Man! Some guys say they are the man but aren’t….you Joe….you are the Man! The best damn motherfucker to ever climb in that ring.”
JJ “I know…..but….why?”
Joe bury his face in his hands and sheds some tears. Nanook sits down next to him and rubs his back.
Nanook “Easy….take it easy. It’ll be okay.”
JJ “WHY?
Oh god why? Why did you have to take him now? I don’t know…..I don’t know if I can go on with my life Nanny….I seriously doubt it.”
Nanook “You have to. He would want you to move on…..and kick Prozac’s ass!”
JJ “This is too much for me right now……..I lost another dear friend….a most beloved friend…..I lost Heath………Heath Ledger………First Heath Newton and now Heath Ledger!”
Nanook gives Double J a hug.
JJ “Where’s my picture….”
On the table laying face down is a photo of Joe and Heath Ledger hanging out at a club in Hollywood and it is signed by Heath. Nanook hands Joe the picture and Joe hugs it.
Nanook “shhh……it’ll be okay. I’m sure he went to heaven.”
JJ “Someone that pretty has to go to heaven. I’m going to miss him.”
Nanook “Me too….me too.”
JJ “I can’t have any other friends named Heath. Okay?”
Nanook “Okay.”
JJ “This is a rough week Nanook. Look at me…(Chuckles)….I’m a emotional mess. First Prozac made me upset and now Heath Ledger is gone…..I’m emotional unstable.”
Nanook “And in a few days Prozac will be the guy who will have to face you….and you will take out all of you aggressions on him……You need to unload all you anger, all of you feelings on him. Make him pay for all your pain. Make him the center of your pain and misery. It is Prozac who has to pay.”
Joe rubs the tears from his eyes and tries to straighten out his hair. He looks at the photo of him and Heath Ledger one last time before setting it down on the table. “Yeah……Prozac…..will pay.”
Nanook “There you go….focus on him, focus on how you will hurt him.”
JJ “Yeah! I’m the one with three titles….the Hollywood friends….What does Prozac have?”
Without even noticing him is Disgruntle who was standing in the background the whole time and it is now when he perks up.
Disgruntle “Prozac can call his friends! Not be the DEATH OF THEM FOR DOING GAY FILMS!!!! YOU KILLED HEATH FOR URGING HM TO DO HUMBBACK MOUNTIAN!!!!”
Joe slams the photo down and stands up and spins around and glares at his own brother. “FOR THE LAST FUCKING TIME MIKE!!!! BROKEBACK MOUNTIAN WASN’T MY IDEA!!!!!”
Disgruntle “Okay! Movie star has a gay friend, does a gay flick….right……”
JJ “THAT’S IT FUCKER!!!”
The scene starts to fade to black as Joe leaps over the couch and tackles his brother down to the ground………………………
