.::MERCEDES::..
If there’s one thing I’m glad about Greece, is that I got to beat the crowd.
.::IRMA::..
Visiting Greece during the summer is a bad idea. I should know. I’ve done it. Nothing worse than waiting in long lines and getting to places. Did I mention that everything is expensive and the weather is brutally hot?
.::MERCEDES::..
Getting there is half the fun. What’s new?
.::IRMA::..
I was making sure you weren't dead, since you never call.
.::MERCEDES::..
I’m still getting used to international calling. It’s Greek to me. Anyway, I need a favor.
.::IRMA::..
The only time you talk to me is when you need something. Whatever you're going to ask, the answer is no.
.::MERCEDES::..
Why are you being so stubborn?
.::IRMA::..
I think I have a bit more experience with this thing than you do.
.::MERCEDES::..
OK.
.::IRMA::..
What? No witty remark? Nothing clever to say?
.::MERCEDES::..
Not in the mood. Anyway. I got three weeks left here and I kinda of need airfare to get back to the states. Think you can book a return trip for me?
.::IRMA::..
Sure.
[Mercedes gives Irma a stern look.]
.::IRMA::..
Oh, you mean now? It’s a bit to soon, isn’t? You seem to enjoy all these weeks before.
.::MERCEDES::..
I need to get out of here. As a group of people the Greek are loud, rude, and arrogant. All the men think they’re handsome - I can’t tell you the passes I get when I walk down the street - and the women think they are the most beautiful - which I deny completely.
.::IRMA::..
I’m glad you’re having a great time.
.::MERCEDES::..
I can’t stay another minute. Please. At least get Richie to do it. Hugo and Tomas has money, don’t they?
.::IRMA::..
Hmm, call back in three weeks, maybe I’ll change my mind. Until then, bye!
.::MERCEDES::..
Wait, wait! Did you just hang up on me?

[REC•]
[Few places are as satisfying to visit when traveling overseas. Italy has its Mediterranean culture and food. France has Paris. And then there’s Greece. While this country hasn’t had its recognition in films and the like, it does boasts plenty of scenic locations.
Open on Mercedes Vargas in Panagia Agia Sion lounging around an ancient village square. There‘a an old church, some souvenir shops and a cafe. Mercedes tries to keep everything in perspective as these last few weeks haven’t exactly made her trip here anymore enjoyable.]
“Usually, I would have a smile on my face and a pep in my step but that hasn’t been the cast these last few weeks. I don’t know how else to explain it, but it’s like that proverbial dark cloud over my head just won’t go away.
“Losing to Seleana Zdunich two weeks ago was bad. Getting jumped by Ms. Jon was worse. Now, I find out on media sociale that I have to team up with that monster against Seleana and Crystal? You’re kidding, right?
[Mercedes raises her index finger in a wait-a-minute gesture.]
“OK, you’re not kidding. You know how you are in a certain place and you just get a general vibe from everyone that you will never find a friendly face in the area? Apparently, that’s what I’m getting in Sin City Wrestling, and now I have a partner who would rather destroy me than ever reach out for a tag and facing the last two people I would dare step in the ring with in The Zdunichs.
“This is not fair, it’s not right, and I deserve better! I’m Mercedes Vargas! Two-time Hall of Famer, the most decorated talent of all time!”
[Mercedes throws her hands up in frustration. She can’t do anything about the card, might as well go with it.]
“You know what? Fine! I’ll team up with Jon, but that doesn’t mean I have to like you. I really don’t like Crystal and Seleana, not like anybody does.
Crystal, Seleana, I would be very careful this Sunday because the both of you are going to be in for a long night.
“My advice to you? Estar preparado para lo peor, esperar lo mejor."
"Prepare for the worst, hope for the best."
[Mercedes fluffs and straightens out her hair and then slowly cross her arms. She pauses for effect, lowering her voice just above a whisper.]
"Y que la suerte está siempre en su favor.”
“And may the odds be ever in your favor."
