(Fadein, Cameron Cruise in the "Cheap Seats" of Soldier Field, Chicago, home of the Chicago Bears. He's got a brew in his left hand and a hotdog in the other, as he smirks.)
CRUISE: Gee...ya know..."WhiteNoise"...if I wanted to see you run around and do what you did...I'd stay home and borrow Hiroshi's copy of the series "Knight Rider", and go to sleep there.
But frankly...I've never really had the urge to stair at David Hasselhoff make a fool of himself lately, so let's do ol' Cammy a favor, shall we??
Cut the crap.
You're not Craig Miles, and believe me...you don't even wanna TRY to be.
That's right kid, I said it and I stand by it exactly from what I said.
Why?? Because it's MY party and I'll make 'Red cry if I want to.
Afterall...he knows deep down, his time is running out.
I'm coming to take his title, I'm coming to BEAT him.
Then afterwards, he'll be just like all the other jerks that I've put down after pumping themselves up with chairs and other assorted weapons:
Flat on his back.
Not that you couldn't have done something about it in the match against myself and Doe...but hey, let's face it...you're not exactly a fresh of breath air either.
But to say the least, I'll give you one thing...at least you're an honest man, and you'll help out someone that needs help; afterwards...if you've got time...I've got some engine work that I could use someone to take care of for me, so you'll be just the guy for the job.
I'll even compensate 'cha for the pain and suffering that you had to go through listening to 'Red run his mouth about being a champion of a company that doesn't even LIKE HIM...while representing yours.
Is this personal?? Sure, maybe.
Not that it's any concern of yours though, after all, it's not your fault...all things aside...Jesus never wanted you for a Sunbeam anyway...I mean, you were chosen to team with 'Red weren'tcha??
As for my partner...who's to say...he never was one to wake up early, ya know...he never really remembers what he did the night before...procrastination was never really one of his assets...downfall...perhaps.
But get use to this fact, Jack: You telling me I'm already defeated and things like that won't work so you'll haveta try something new.
I've heard it ALL my life and hearing it now will only make things worse for you.
Why??
Because I'm Cameron ****ing Cruise, Damnit.
And because whether or not you realize yet who your up against and who's in your corner, in the end it's only going to be a horrible...HORRIBLE REALITY CHECK that you just...won't like.
(Fadeout.)
