Simpson's tone is slightly quieter than usual.
Ashley: Happy new year
Ashley replies also in a lower tone.
Ashley: What's wrong with him? He isn't jumping and screaming while shooting like usual.
Ashley flicks her hair behind her ear, glancing over at James.
Simpson: Master James hasn't been the same since before Christmas Ms Jameson.
Ashley: Why? Didn't Santa bring him his own private island or something?
Simpson: No, I think Master James has been like this since he found out Mr Di Luca will be challenging him for his Roulette championship.
Ashley looks confused for a few seconds
Ashley: Doesn't he know he has to defend it against people? He doesn't just get given the title and get to walk around with it forever.
Simpson smiles
Simpson: I don't think that's the case Ms Jameson, I think Master James was actually starting to like Mr Di Luca.
JHHIII: I was not!
James calls across the room, not taking his eyes from the screen. Simpson points to a door and walks towards it, leading Ashley in to the hallway. Simpson closes the door behind him and looks towards Ashley.
Simpson: Contrary to what Master James has just said, I think he started to look up to Mr Di Luca. James's parents haven't been around at all for a long time now, I am the only male figure that is a permanent fixture in James's life. He doesn't have many normal friends. Many of his friends are people of great wealth, and people of great wealth can not be very close friends. They are a fickle bunch who continue to try to one up each other. You can not trust people built in that mold.
Ashley covers her lips with her hand, trying to cover a wide smile. After a few seconds, she lowers her hand.
Ashley: You know, I think that's the most you've ever said to me in one go. Usually, you get a line or two, but I think you said maybe five lines there Simpson.
Simpson runs his fingers over his hairless head
Simpson: I must be becoming more interesting Ms Jameson. As I was saying, I think that James doesn't have many around, near his own generation. Mr Di Luca was one of the first.
Ashley: Other people have tried though to be friends with him. Casey Williams, Despayre and Odette spring to mind. Also that thing to try and get him on television, a lot of people gave up their time for that and it worked.
Simpson: You are correct, but James inevitably pushes people away, he doesn't do well with others, but even if he won't admit it, I think he looked up a little to Mr Di Luca.
Ashley: Maybe Giani started taking a shine to him too.
Simpson: How so?
Ashley: Giani flies solo to a lot of places, he doesn't need people, hell, he didn't even need to offer to help James, but he did it before he won the title shot.
Simpson: But he didn't stick around much after he won that shot.
Ashley: Probably told not to. Come on, how would it look for the fans if champion and challenger was seen hanging out together all the time?
Simpson: A valid point Ms Jameson, but we can't have young master Hawkes in this mood if he wants to keep that championship title around his waist. James may be devastated at losing that for not being in the right mind set.
Ashley: So take him out and cheer him up again. Take over from Giani.
Simpson: I don't believe I have the personality of Mr Di Luca, he is one of a kind in terms of his personality.
Ashley: One of a kind? I take it you've never been to Jersey.
Simpson: Not that I can recall.
Ashley: Look, take him out, cheer him up, put him in the right mindset and I'll get his ass in the gym and working off that turkey and the rest of the crap that comes along with Christmas.
Simpson: Where would I take him?
Ashley: I don't know, take him to the park or something.
JHHIII: I'm not a freaking dog you know!
Simpson and Ashley jump around to see James standing there looking at them, leaning on the door frame with an angry look on his face.
Simpson: Master James, can I get you anything?
JHHIII: No!
James's snappy tone fills the hallway
Ashley: How long have you been there?
JHHIII: Long enough.
Simpson: Sir...
JHHIII: Can it Simpson! Let me explain this to both of you. I do not miss Giani. I didn't even want him around anyway, his hair gel used to leave stains all over this house. I do not need Giani around to help me with anything. He made it look like he was helping me, but he wanted to be on television more. He wanted to be at the front of something instead of stuck behind Spike. He tried to get himself more known because of me Simpson. I do not miss him, I don't need him to take me out for me to meet people and be a better champion or raise my image, because everybody loves me Simpson, I'm a hero to them all just for being their champion. Giani just wanted to know what it was like to be around a champion like me.
Ashley: Can you even hear yourself talk?
JHHIII: Yes, but if I couldn't, I have the best doctors in the world to make me hear me again.
Ashley: You're not funny
James shrugs his shoulders, looking at Ashley
JHHIII: I do not need Giani following me around to be popular, I'm already popular, people love me and I'll prove it. I'm gonna go out and come back perfectly fine, without Giani!
Simpson: I'll get my coat sir.
JHHIII: And without you too Simpson!
James walks past Simpson in a sulk, Ashley looks up at Simpson
Ashley: Well this should be fun.

A little while later, the Hollywood sign is seen in the background, before focusing on to the busy streets. James Huntington-Hawkes III is seen standing on the walk of fame, looking down at the stars on the floor. James's envious eyes cross the names written on the floor.
JHHIII: Shrek? Seriously, Shrek has a star? That's so stupid, he isn't real.
A young kid looks at James's mini outburst, James looks back at the kid.
JHHIII: Well, he's not. He's a cartoon or a guy in a stupid suit! How does he even have a star when I'm the SCW Roulette champion? I should have a star, not some fake thing. Fake things don't deserve stars.
James walks away, leaving the kid to look at his parents with a look of sadness on his face. James walks further along the street, looking at other celebrity names.
JHHIII: Elton Britt? Who the hell is Elton Britt? If I've never heard of him, he can't be that important! All these nobodies have a star and not me! This is disgraceful. I demand a star here for being the best roulette champion of all time! I deserve to be a legend in this world! I should have a star.
A small crowd gather around him, looking at his outburst, but James eyeballs them with a touch of hesitation.
JHHIII: What? I should, you should all know who I am. You know me right?
A young teenage girl steps forward.
Teenage Girl: You're Justin! You're him.
She jumps up and down excitedly but James instantly yells.
JHHIII: NO! I AM NOT HIM! HE LOOKS LIKE ME, I AM NOTHING LIKE HIM! GO AWAY! ALL OF YOU GO AWAY!
James stomps his feet and looks at the crowd, slowly dispursing as James moves on, talking to himself.
JHHIII: What's wrong with these blind idiots? Can't they tell the difference between the best wrestler in the world and some stupid punk who keeps copying my style!
James stops and stomps his feet on the floor, his foot bouncing off another star on the Walk Of Fame. A voice calls out to him, but James turns around to see Charlie Sheen.
Sheen: Hey, hey, hey kid! Mind jumping on someone elses star? Go jump on Chuck Lorre's star, just up the road there.
James lowers his eyebrows.
Sheen: Justin! Hey man, I haven't heard from you, I accidently posted my number on Twitter for you to call, boy was that a mistake.
James shakes his head, an angry glare on his face.
Sheen: Wait, James? I'm sorry little man, you two look so alike.
JHHIII: Thanks a bunch Charlie.
Sheen: Where's that bald dude? He's usually so close, he blocks the sun from ya.
JHHIII: I left him at home.
Sheen: Hey congratulations, your balls must have finally dropped to go out on your own!
James lets out a soft growl.
Sheen: You know, I haven't seen you since that party at your place after that SCW show I was on. Man, I was so wasted that night, I woke up in a dumpster with a hooker.
JHHIII: Like your character would have on that TV show?
Charlie looks slightly uncomfortable
Sheen: Right.... character. So what are you doing out here?
JHHIII: I'm tired of everyone thinking I need them to go out with. I can do this on my own. I'm not a kid anymore. Everyone thinks that I can't have fun without Giani Di Luca, it's not true!
Sheen: Oh, I know that guy, fun guy, knows how to party.
JHHIII: You're not helping.
Sheen: Not trying to.
James folds his arms across his chest.
Sheen: Look little man, I'll give ya some advice, ok?
James looks at him sceptically
Sheen: Make up your own rules. If you like partying with Giani, party with Giani, if you don't, than don't. Life is much easier when you play by your own rules kid. When you make the rules, you can't lose. Know what you're doing than?
JHHIII: What?
Charlie smiles
Sheen: Winning.
James rolls his eyes.
Sheen: Time to wake up now.
JHHIII: Huh?
Charlie Sheen taps James on the back and the whole scene changes, back to the chair in front of the television. The controller of the PS3 in his hand. James blinks his eyes as he wakes up, shooting up straight in the chair, looking around the room, seeing no one in there.
JHHIII: What the hell? Is Charlie Sheen like my guardian angel?
James stands up
JHHIII: I like the whole make up my own rules thing, but the "winning" thing was so last year.
James walks over to the door, opening the door and watching Ashley Jameson and Simpson talk.
Simpson: Where would I take him?
Ashley: I don't know, take him to the park or something.
JHHIII: I'm not a freaking dog you know!
Simpson and Ashley jump around to see James standing there looking at them, leaning on the door frame with an angry look on his face.
Simpson: Master James
James stands looking confused.
Simpson: Are you ok sir?
JHHIII: Deja Vu.
Ashley rolls her eyes.
Ashley: And how does this all turn out? Be so much easier if we just skip to the end.
James smiles
JHHIII: Doesn't matter. I got some good advice from Charlie Sheen, it's time to start playing by my rules. I don't care if Giani tried to help me before, that was then, this is now, this is my game and I control it. Now Simpson, call an SCW camera crew, I got some things I need to say.
James turns around and strolls back in the other room. Ashley looks at Simpson.
Ashley: Charlie Sheen?
*******
A while later, James is seen in the same chair he was in earlier as the camera crew start to record. James presses his hands together in a pyramid and looks at the camera, with his SCW Roulette championship over his shoulder.
JHHIII: Hello, it's me, the best roulette champion ever, ever, ever in the history of the universe, James Huntington-Hawkes III, not J.H.H.I.I.I, no, it's James Huntington-Hawkes III. I was sitting playing Black Ops II earlier and something came to me, something opened my eyes. Charlie Sheen came to me in a dream, and told me that I should make up my own rules. Well I am the champion, people should have to come and play whatever game I choose, right? Right! Because I say so! Giani tried to play his own game on me and now I see it. Giani was playing by his own rules. He was trying to get under my skin, he gave me tissues for Christmas and I still haven't had a cold. Everyone thinks Giani is super cool, but he's not. Giani might have the muscles and might have a lot of baby oil but he's not all that.
James shakes his head.
JHHIII: I see right through him. He knew he was gonna get a shot at my title! That's why he offered to help me, it all makes sense. I bet he went to the boss man and asked him, and got everything set up, so he can have a shot at my title but I see it all now. That's why he wanted to help me, but because I'm the champion, I changed the rules. Giani Di Luca has made me look stupid for the last time! He made me wear feathers and stupid gangster suits, with stupid haircuts, it's not gonna happen anymore, because I'm the champion and Giani should be doing what I say!
A stern look comes across James's face.
JHHIII: So it's time to do what I say Giani. Giani, I'm telling you I'm gonna keep my title. I'm telling you I'm gonna win at New Year Rising. I'm telling you that your attempts to get under my skin didn't work. I'm going to beat you "bro"
James looks away from the camera to behind the camera.
JHHIII: Did I use that right?
The camera turns around to show Ashley nod slightly.
JHHIII: Hey! Get that camera back on me! It's me you came to see, the SCW Roulette champion! Cameraman, get used to talking to me while I'm holding the title, because I will be holding it for a long time to come! I will be keeping my title forever and ever and ever! I won't give up this title and Giani, you're gonna be another to see it. Cause this title is going nowhere, it's mine, mine, mine and you can't have it!
James stomps his foot on the floor.
JHHIII: Now get these people out of my house Simpson, they're messing up the carpet!
James steps up and walks towards the camera, putting his hand in front of the camera as it fades out
