[The shot fades up on a lavish hotel suite overlooking the River Thames. The O2 arena can be seen in the distance. Lounging with his feet up in a leather chair, wearing only a pink bathrobe, is Disney’s Marty Donovan. He sips a glass of champagne and smiles at the camera.]
Marty: You can breathe easy, Jason! Your big surprise entrant has arrived safely in jolly old England! I didn’t come alone though. I brought someone that is excited to meet you!
[The camera zooms out and we see the thick contract that would give Disney ownership of IPW. The stack of papers are wearing a tinier version of the same bathrobe and currently rest in their own miniature leather chair.]
Marty: You guessed it! The official documents that will make IPW the happiest bloodsport on Earth are just sitting here, waiting for your John Hancock. Oh, I should explain. That was an American guy known for his wacky signature. He was also a Korean War hero.
(A waiter walks in and places a large steak in front of Marty. The employee then cuts off a sliver and puts it on a tiny tray in front of the contract.)
Marty: I can’t wait for you to “sign da ting” as they say over here. You should see what the imagineers already have in the works. Each day the animatronic Nate Pierce grows less uncanny. Soon that little Hartford whaler will be ready to make his Pirates of The Caribbean debut.
[Marty politely cuts the contract’s steak into smaller pieces before beginning to eat his own.]
Marty: I think rumors of our partnership must have leaked to the press. There is excitement on the streets here. Look out the hotel window! You no doubt see the bumper to bumper traffic and long queues of people. London is dying to see IPW join House Mouse. Why even all the flags have been respectfully lowered for my visit. We’re making history here and everyone is excited.
[Marty wipes off his face with a napkin then does the same for the stack of papers.]
Marty: Well, not everyone sadly. I hate to ruin the moment, but what kind of best friend would I be if I didn’t tell the truth? I happened to be walking around Swanscombe, Kent this morning and met some nasty characters. It was a crew of construction workers and they were speaking all sorts of nonsense. They said IPW sucks, all the wrestlers are wimps and you have a terrible sense of fashion. It was awful. I hope you and the entire roster go teach them a lesson.
[The shot zooms out and we see the blueprints for a roller coaster sitting on the coffee table.]
Marty: Let me assure you, the fact that this particular construction crew is working on a rival amusement park is a total coincidence. Honest! I wish nothing but the best to the BBC and hope that “The London Resort” is a smashing success. They were saying some really awful stuff about your family though. Things I can’t even repeat! You and the boys need to give them a good beating, preferably one that delays the project by months. Feel free to do damage to plumbing as well. That will teach them!
[ An attractive masseuse walks in and starts setting up a table.]
Marty: So here’s to a wonderful partnership, Mr.Long. Tomorrow you become rich and I become royal!
[ Marty walks towards the table as if he is about to lay down, but he places the contract on it instead.]
Marty: See if you can loosen the signatory awareness. That section has been stiff all day.
[The woman looks at the contact confused as the shot fades out.][/a]
