[/url]Vanessa, tying her bathrobe says: “Sweetie, what in the world are you doing?”
Jordan is off in his own little world and doesn’t hear Vanessa. Vanessa walks up to Jordan who has his entire 6’5” 255 lbs body in the cabinet under the sink. Vanessa smacks him on the butt, which startles Jordan which prompts him to react by bumping his head on a pipe.
Jordan in pain yells: “DAMN!!!”
Jordan pulls himself from under the sink as Vanessa stifles her laughter. Jordan is holding his head with a perturbed look on his face.
Jordan rubbing his head says: “Babe, what the fuck!?!?”
Vanessa tries to say with a straight face: “Well, I asked you what you were doing and you didn’t hear me, so I got your attention…”
Jordan: “…Yeah…well…you got it alright. You scared the shit outta me!”
Vanessa runs her fingers through her hair and asks: “Why are you making all this racket?”
Jordan stands up and grabs a dish towel and wipes the sweat from his brow and says: “Because, I can’t find my coffee cup.”
Vanessa: “Jordan we have a million coffee cups, just use one of them…”
Jordan quickly responds: “…because it’s not MY cup. I drink out of that cup every morning. Those other cups are different…this one’s…special.”
Vanessa rolls her eyes and says: “Oh my god! It holds the same amount as all the other ones we have!”
Jordan pauses and says: “You don’t understand…I drink coffee out of that cup EVERY morning I’m here…those other cups just aren’t the same.”
Vanessa: “Sweetie, I love you, but this is crazy. I’ll fix this problem for you.”
Vanessa walks over to the cupboards where they keep their coffee cups and grabs one. Vanessa then walks to the coffee pot and pours a cup for Jordan. Vanessa goes to hand Jordan the cup but Jordan refuses to grab it. Vanessa sits it on the counter next to Jordan.
Vanessa: “Stop acting like a baby and drink the coffee from this cup!”
Jordan childishly says: “NO!”
Jordan pushes the cup across the granite counter-top towards Vanessa.
Jordan: “I insist, you drink it.”
Vanessa: “Jordan, you know I don’t drink coffee anymore…you drink it because I don’t want you to be a bear all day long.”
Jordan folds his arms and says: “I’m not drinking any GOD DAMN COFFEE until I get MY GOD DAMN CUP!”
Vanessa is about to yell at Jordan but she calms herself down.
Vanessa: “Why is this cup so special to you? Is it because it says ‘Best Wrestler and Dad in the World?’”
Jordan: “That’s exactly why.”
Vanessa: “You don’t bring that cup with you on the road do you?”
Jordan: “Nope!”
Vanessa gets a tone as if she is talking to a child: “Well Jordan, what do you do when you’re on the road?”
Jordan: “I drink it from the cup they provide…”
Vanessa raises her voice and says: “THEN WHY IS THIS SO HARD!?!?!?”
Vanessa pushes the coffee cup across the counter to Jordan. Jordan looks down at the cup and looks up at Vanessa who just rolls her eyes.
Vanessa sighs and says: “The kids have more maturity than you Jordan. I don’t know why you can’t drink from any cup like a regular human being. It’s not like if you don’t drink out of that cup somehow your day is ruined.”
Jordan: “It will be. Because when I drink from that cup it makes me…never mind.”
Vanessa: “What? ”
Jordan shakes his head no.
Vanessa thinks for a moment and says: “You think if you don’t drink out the cup that somehow you aren’t the greatest wrestler and dad in the world?”
Jordan hangs his head low and says in a sad and low tone: “Yes.”
Vanessa again tries to stifle her laugh. Jordan gets fed up and storms out of the kitchen.
Vanessa: “Unbelievable.”
The camera cuts to Jordan entering his gym and immediately Jordan starts searching for his cup. Suddenly the other door that leads to outside opens up. In walks his accountant/business manager Max. Max comes in early every morning to get a work out.
Max enthusiastically shouts: “Morning boss!”
Jordan power walks up to Max. The closer Jordan gets to Max the more frightened Max gets.
Jordan grabs Max by the shirt and says: “You took it didn’t you-you son of a bitch!?”
Max drops his briefcase and says in a frightened tone: “Take what? What are you talking about?”
Jordan: “My coffee cup!”
Max: “N..n..no sir!”
Jordan stares at Max with a mean look on his face, but quickly comes to his senses a bit and lets go of Max.
A deflated Jordan says: “I’m sorry Max. I haven’t had my coffee yet…I’m on the edge.”
Max takes a deep breath and says: “Understood. I can run to Starbucks and get you one…”
Jordan: “No…you don’t understand, when I’m home I like to drink out of that specific cup everyday…”
Max cuts Jordan off seemingly knowing where Jordan is going and says: “Makes the day start off right…It’s like the cup has magical powers…as if you didn’t drink from it, you wouldn’t feel like the best in the world.”
Jordan looks at Max with pride and says: “Exactly. Now does that make me a weirdo?”
Max has a sheepish grin on his face and says: “Absolutely not. I have to do certain thing in the morning in the exact same order or else my day will go to shit.”
Jordan puts his arm around Max and says: “Max, you understand me more than my own wife. If I were a girl, I’d marry you!”
Max is beaming with pride. He loves getting praised by Jordan. They make their way to the office.
Jordan: “Help me find this cup.”
Max says with a smile: “Yes sir!”
The two begin tearing up Jordan’s office looking for his cup. After ten minutes of intense searching, Jordan and Max give up.
Jordan: “I don’t know where the hell it could possibly be. I set it right where I always do after I’m done drinking it. I know the cup didn’t get legs and walk away.”
Max thinks for a moment and offers a suggestion: “How about the kids?”
Jordan nods in agreement and says: “Its time to interrogate them!”
Max: “Who’s good cop, who’s bad cop?”
Jordan thinks for a second and says: “I’ll be the good cop, they don’t like you anyways.”
A baffled Max responds: “What? They love me!”
Jordan: “Naw, actually they think you’re scary looking. Makaylee thinks you’re a monster.”
Max searches for a response then says: “Well…”
Jordan: “By the way, when Carson comes here tell him-to tell you-I said clean this office up.”
Max thinks over what Jordan just said, scratches his head and say: “ Wait…what?”
Jordan shrugs his shoulder as Max is trying to understand why.
A confused Max says: “So you want me to tell Carson to tell me to clean the office.”
Jordan: “Right because I said so…in fact leave that part out.”
Max with a perplexed look on his face says: “Why don’t you tell me yourself?”
Jordan: “One, Carson isn’t here yet to take this note down…and he’s the guy I get to tell everyone what I want them to do. Besides, I don’t want you to hate me for telling you directly to clean the office. I know you don’t like Carson, I just don’t want to be the dick-head boss. It sounds better coming from him…or worse…however you want to interpret that.”
Max:” I still don’t…”
Jordan cuts Max off while slapping him on the back at the same time and says: “Good times, buddy.”
Jordan walks off to find his coffee cup as Max who earlier was beaming with pride is now deflated as he stares at the huge mess they mad in Jordan’s office.
The camera then cuts to Jordan arriving at the dining room where the kids are settling in and waiting for their breakfast. The twins are playing on the respective I pads as Jayden peaks over their shoulder to watch them play and Makaylee is sitting in her high chair playing with her toys.
Jordan: “Good morning kids.”
The kids collectively say good morning as Jordan looks at them with an investigative eye. Jordan makes his way over to Makaylee to see if one of her toys isn’t the coffee cup. Jordan then makes his way over to Jayden and kneels down next to him.
Jordan: “Do you know where my coffee cup is son?”
Jayden innocently says: “No!”
Jessica jumps in and says: “Daddy, why don’t you use the other ones?”
Jordan: “Because that’s my favorite cup, I feel weird drinking out another cup.”
Vanessa walks into dining room with the breakfast food.
Natasha: “Daddy, you’re silly. It’s just a cup!”
Vanessa smirks and says: “See even a seven year old knows you‘re crazy!”
Jordan closes his eyes as he is clearly irritated.
Vanessa says in a mocking tone: “Just come and eat…or does it not feel right?”
Jordan glares at Vanessa as he has a seat at the table. The camera fades out as Jordan sits there dejected eating his breakfast.
The camera fades into a shot about an hour later as Jordan is coming down the steps from just having a shower. Jordan still has an irritated look on his face as he walks to the den where Max is awaiting him as they are doing some prep work for tax season. Jordan puts on a tight muscle t-shirt as he walks into the den. Jordan blocks off the den with a gate designed for kids protection. Jordan sits down next to Max as Max is pouring over some paperwork.
Max: Okay boss, we have a lot to go over today.
Jordan lets out a grunt.
Max: “Sorry, but with Vanessa opening more and more fitness chains, this stuff gets worse.”
Jordan pulls his shirt over his head and says: “No, it’s not that, its my coffee cup…I miss it.”
Max: “I understand Jordan.”
Jordan glumly says in a whiny tone: “I’MMMMM SOOOO MIISSERRRRABBBLEE!!!!!!!”
Max: “By the way, that thing you told me to Carson to tell me to do? I already finished it up!”
Jordan still in the glum, whiny tone: “I DON’T CARE!…tell him to tell you anyways!”
Suddenly the door bell rings as Max gets a perturbed look on his face .
Jordan to himself: “That better be God with my coffee mug.”
After a few seconds Vanessa answers the door as they are expecting Maria the Nanny. Jordan takes his shirt from over his head and stares off into the adjacent room-the kitchen. Maria walks into the kitchen as Jordan gets half sadistic look on his face as he notices Maria setting a white cup on the counter. Suddenly Jordan leaps up off the couch like a lion pouncing on its prey; Jordan then easily leaps over the gate-showing he still has great athleticism. Jordan startles Maria as he storms into the kitchen.
Jordan enthusiastically says: “MY CUP!!!”
Maria puts her hand over her heart and says something in Spanish. Jordan replies back to her in Spanish as well. Maria as an astounded look on her face as she didn’t know Jordan was fluent in Spanish. Jordan continues speaking in Spanish at Maria about his coffee cup. Eventually Jordan and Maria come to an understanding and she gives Jordan a big hug. Maria leaves the kitchen to tend to the children as Jordan begins to make his coffee. Vanessa comes into the kitchen and Jordan holds his cup with an ear-to-ear grin.
Jordan starts singing: “I got my cup! I got my cup!”
Vanessa rolls her eyes with her hands on her hips and then says: “Oh great, now can you act like a civilized adult?”
Jordan: “Not until I drink my coffee!”
Vanessa can’t do nothing but laugh at how foolish Jordan is acting.
Vanessa: “Listen, I have a dinner tonight with this advertising guy and he keeps on insisting that I bring a female friend…”
Jordan cuts Vanessa off and says: “He’s trying to have sex with you.”
Vanessa: “I know so, I want you to come. His company has a lot of great ideas and they are the best in the area…So I want you to come so he can get the message, I’m only dealing with him because of business.”
Jordan: “Babe, you know I got your back. Ain’t nobody fuckin’ you but me!”
Vanessa hits Jordan on the shoulder and says: “Jordan! The kids could of heard you!”
Jordan: “I got an idea…”
Vanessa cuts Jordan off and says: “You’re not going to beat him up!”
Jordan laughs and says: “No! I want to see how he acts before I show up. I’ll sit at another table and you act like your female friend is running late. I wanna see how far this douche bag goes.”
Vanessa thinks it over and says: “Umm…okay…but please no fighting and don’t wait too long. I don’t want things to get creepy.”
Jordan looks at Vanessa assuredly and says: “Babe, I got this!”
Vanessa kisses Jordan on the cheek and says: “Thanks sweetie!”
The camera fades out as Vanessa walks off as Jordan goes back to watching his coffee being made.
The camera fades into a shot inside Jordan’s gym once again as he is setting up for a promo to send in for the SCW Blaze of Glory super card. Max is manning the camera as Jordan is preparing himself for the promo. Max gives Jordan his cue as he starts recording…
Jordan: “It had to happen sooner or later. It always happens. Let’s face it, as far as I’m concerned, only a few things are guaranteed in life: death, taxes and tag teams breaking up and facing off against one another. But you see, this is different. Hot Stuff, you didn’t go with another manager for more money…I didn’t steal your girlfriend…You didn’t cost me a chance at a World Title…I didn’t throw you through a Barber Shop window. We technically never broke up…we never had a falling out. So why is it that we are on the opposite sides of a tag team match instead of on the same side like we’re use to, partner?”
Jordan pauses for a moment looks at the ground and then looks back at the camera with a smile on his face.
Jordan: “Why did I show up at the last super card-to the shock of the wrestling world and even more of a shock, I didn’t show up to save the day for you Mark…I, instead took you out. I spoke about how to kill a monster a few weeks ago…that’s why I did it. The monster ego of Hot Stuff Mark Ward. As its been stated many of times that yes, I did train Mark at the behest of your father. Yes, you were my best student. Yes, we became best friends and the best tag team. During all the times we hung out-traveling, working out, partying, you were always looking at how I conducted myself and you did exactly what I did. I’ve been accused of having a large ego and being a dick from time to time and you picked up on all of that. Hey you were young and I was setting the example for you--both good and bad and you followed suit. You followed in my footsteps and then you tore a path for yourself and became one of the best in the wrestling world. I taught you to take whatever you want and don’t care who you step on. I guess you can say I helped create the monster we see today.”
Jordan again pauses and scratches his fore head and continues.
Jordan: “I wasn’t surprised Mark, that you became a multiple time World Champion. Hey, the reason I never won anymore because you and Billy were kicking ass and you two were on a roll at that time. I will freely admit that. To say that I was jealous…maybe, but hey, I was more proud than I was jealous because you made it to the top and became a great champion. However Mark, the more successful you became, the less we talked. The gap of communication between you and I became wider to the point, I could never could get a hold of you. See, the difference between you and I was, I never forgot where I came from, I never would’ve shunned my trainer and friend, no matter how successful I became, but you did and that’s the source of my resentment towards you. Hey, all it could’ve took was a me and you to sit down, have a beer and talk this shit out. I’ve been out the business for a while and you have gotten even more out of control, bro.
Jordan looks strokes his chin and continues.
Jordan: “This all could’ve been settled a long time ago, bro. It didn’t have to be like this. This isn’t THAT personal…especially like on the level of you and Spike. Maybe this could be settled with a hug…who knows?”
Jordan smirks and shakes his head no as he continues.
Jordan: “It won’t be that easy. I’m going to have to beat some respect into you, bro. I know you…you’re hard headed. So it’ll take a couple of rounds of me beating the hell out of you to get your attention. First thing I taught you was respect…evidently that wore off or something. So come the 26th I will do what I should’ve done along time ago before you spiraled out of control and that’s whoop your ass Mark.”
Jordan pauses once more before finishing the promo.
Jordan: “Don’t think I forgot about you Justin Underwood. Justin, you don’t realize it, but Mark just threw you to the wolves. Spike and I both have issues with Mark and we won’t stop until we get him. Not that I’m over looking you, hell you’re a former SCW Heavyweight Champion, so I respect that, but that don’t mean you’re in my league son. See this is grown man business and you’re going to get schooled when you step inside that ring. You’re just a pawn in Mark’s game. In the end you won’t mean shit to him, you’ll realize that eventually but at Blaze of Glory, you’re going to see that you’re in WAY over your head. You’ll be in the ring with a world class wrestler. I’m a few steps above anyone you’ve ever faced in your life, I can assure you of that. So if I was you, I’d do my best not to tag into the match because if you do, you are going to find out exactly why I’m greatest in the world. See, this will be a world-wind experience for you…this is just another day at the office for me, son. Grudge Match it says…that’s an understatement and you two will find out on the 26th, why? Because I’m too good for ya!”
The camera fades on a close up of Jordan face.
