The scene fades into a local grocery store earlier in the week, located somewhere in the area of Tempe, Arizona, the location of this week's edition of SCW Climax Control. As the scene pans around throughout the aisles of the store, you can see plenty of people getting ready for their weekends plans, as most everyone there is stocking up on your standard barbeque needs for this weekend, getting ready for the Fourth of July. The camera shot eventually moves down one particular aisle, where we then see a very familiar face, as pushing a cart down that aisle is no other than one half of the SCW Tag Team Champion Bosom Buddies, Bernard "Big B" Jones.
Big B is walking down the aisle and keeps looking back and forth at the items on the shelves, eventually coming to a stop and staring intently at one particular area of the shelves. B stands there quietly, stroking his chin in thought until eventually one of the supermarkets employees approaches Big B, seeing him looking for something.
Employee: Hello sir, is there something I can help you with today?
Big B, clearly so intently focused on what he was doing, seems to be caught quite off guard by the approaching employee, as he looks a bit surprised and snaps out of the trance he was in before turning towards the employee.
Big B: Oh, hi! Um, no thank you. I'm just buying some stuff for this weekend. We're having a barbeque! It's gonna be real fun.
The employee smiles and nods at Big B, as he clearly makes an effort to provide some friendly customer service.
Employee: Ah yes, always great to enjoy the weather and do some grilling for Independence Day, right?
Big B: Um... right... I guess. Wait, what does is that?
The employee seems to be a bit confused by B's question, but clearly trying to still do his best to be good employee, keeps a big smile on his face as he gives an answer.
Employee: Yeah, things have been a little crazy, huh? I see how it's easy to lose track, but it's on Friday.
Big B: Oh, um... I actually meant like, what's the date of it?
The supermarket employee now looks completely baffled by this question, staring at Big B silently for a few seconds and clearly not even sure how to respond. He eventually shakes it off, and with a much more confused tone to his voice, comes back with a response.
Employee: Well Independence Day would be, well... July 4th.
Big B's face lights up as he hears this and he responds with excitement in his voice.
Big B: Oh really? No way! That's so cool. What are the chances that Independence Day and the 4th of July would be on the same day, huh? Awesome!
The look on the man's face now becomes even more extreme, as he stares at Big B completely blankly, with his jaw now dropped in shock. The man stands there in complete silence, clearly having no idea how to respond, while Big B simply seems confused by the man's expression.
Big B: What? Don't you agree? I mean you know about the 4th of July, right? Because it's on July 4th, too.
The man opens his mouth as if he's about to say something, but clearly cannot come up with the words and eventually just shakes his head before turning and walking away. Big B scratches his head in confusion for a moment before simply shrugging and then talking to himself.
Big B: That's weird, I guess he's never heard of the 4th of July before. Oh well, no big deal. Now it's just cool that we get to celebrate two different holidays!
Big B returns to his shopping when suddenly his Bosom Buddies tag team partner, Despayre, comes running over, with Angel of course firmly secured in his one arm, while his other arm is suspiciously hidden behind his back. It appears as he has one of those small hand baskets for shopping, but it cannot quite be seen what is in it. As he approaches, it grabs Big B's attention as he turns around, and as soon as he sees Despayre he immediately begins to talk to him.
Big B: Hey Despy, did you know that for our barbeque this weekend we get to celebrate both the Fourth of July AND Independence Day? Isn't that cool?
Despayre looks slightly confused for just a moment, but it fades quickly as a big smiles comes across his face as the idea still seems to excite him, despite seeming to know better.
Despayre: Um... yeah! It's gonna be really cool!
Big B: By the way, did you find the stuff on the list you were looking for?
Despayre: Yeah, I've got it right here.
Despayre puts Angel down in the seat at the top of the shopping cart for a moment, then using his free hand to reach into the basket is holding in his other hand, making a point to never take the basket from behind his back. Despayre then pulls a couple of bags of buns for hamburgers and hot dogs from behind his back, and puts them into the cart.
Despayre: There you go. Oh hey, what's that?!?
Despayre points off in the distance, drawing Big B's attention away from the direction that he was just facing. With B distracted, Despayre moves quickly and ends up reaching behind his back again and this time pulls a huge bag of various mixed candies which he then quickly throws into the shopping cart. Just a moment later, Big B turns back around towards Despy, looking confused.
Big B: What? I don't see anything.
Despayre: Oh, you um... just missed it.
Big B: Oh, ok.
Big B shrugs it off and seems to think nothing of it, that is until he sees the huge bag of candy in the basket and is quick to point it out.
Big B: Hey, what's that?
Despayre quickly gets quite defensive, seeming nervous as he immediately points in the direction of Angel.
Despayre: He did it!
Big B: But we promised everyone we would only buy what was on the list they gave us.
Despayre: I know, that's what I told him! But you know Angel, once he sets his mind on something it's tough to change his mind. He said he really, really, really wanted it.
Big B looks into the basket and seems to be thinking it over, and with his focus elsewhere, Despayre takes the opportunity to look right over toward Angel and put his finger over his lips, shushing Angel while also shaking his head at him. Big B then goes to turn back towards Despayre, causing Despy to quickly pull his hand back down at his sides and do his best to look innocent.
Big B: Ok fine, I guess we can get just one. But we can't do any more, or everyone is gonna get really, really mad at us.
Despayre: Yeah, exactly. You should consider yourself lucky buddy!
Despayre wags a finger sternly in the direction of Angel as he says this.
Big B: Alright, we've got to finish getting the rest of this stuff on the list. Now where was I?
Big B turns back to the shelves he was looking at before, and with his back turned, Despayre pulls the basket from behind his back revealing a second huge bag of candy in it. Despayre looks down at it and seems to be thinking it over, before eventually pulling the bag from the basket and tossing the basket aside. Despayre then makes a point of lifting up a bunch of the items already piled up in the basket and takes the second bag of candy and hides it under there, out of view, just before Big B turns back around. As B turns around, Despy quickly jumps back away from the cart, while Big B obliviously adds something else to the cart before pushing it to continue along their way.
As the continue on with their shopping, both B and Desp continue to grab things off of the shelves from their shopping list. They go through each and every aisle of the store while Depsayre also continues to sneak in various types of junk food into the cart whenever Big B isn't watching. This continues on for a while, until the conversation takes an interesting shift in the direction of SCW.
Despayre: Yeah, and while Friday should be great, Sunday should be super cool too, right? It's a pretty big deal.
Big B: Yeah, it's always cool to have matches!
Despayre: Well yeah, but are you ready for it?
Big B: What do you mean? It's not like the old days no more, I've had plenty of matches now. We're even champs and everything!
Despayre: Sure, but this one is different.
Big B stops and turns towards Despayre, looking quite confused by this comment.
Big B: What do you mean?
Despayre: This is a singles match, you know that, right?
Big B: Yeah, so what?
Despayre: Well it's just gonna be you all by yourself. I mean I'll be there, but not wrestling with you and stuff.
Big B: Yeah I know, so what's the big deal?
Despayre: I'm just saying it's something different, 'cause you've always been doing tag team matches.
Big B: It just means instead of the two of us beating two guys together, I have to beat one guy by myself. I know I'm not all that good at math and stuff, but I'm pretty sure that works out the same.
Despayre: I mean it kind of is, but it's really not. I don't know it's... different. Plus Lucian Frost has a lot more experience in singles matches, ya know.
Big B: Yeah, but Frost was one of the one's we beat for the tag titles and everything. If we already beat him once before, why can't I do it again?
Despayre: Well all I'm saying is that this is going to be a nice thing for you, and Frost has done a lot more in singles matches than you. He was the first ever Roulette Champion and everything!
Big B: Yeah, I know, but... but...
Despayre: But what?
Big B: But he's just so little!
The comment clearly does not sit quite so well with Despayre, as he folds his arms across his chest and glares in the direction of his tag team partner with a very stern look.
Despayre: Yeah... so?!? What's that supposed to mean?!?
Big B: Just that, um... uh... nothing.
Big B then lowers his head, seeming somewhat ashamed of himself as he quietly mumbles out his next comment.
Big B: Sorry.
Despayre: Well...
Despayre continues to glare at Big B for a few moments, but he cannot keep it up as a smile comes across his face as he looks over at his buddy.
Despayre: It's ok! But just don't underestimate the difference in a singles match or the talents of a little guy. I know you know better. Just look at me... or him!
Despayre points over towards Angel, who Big B turns towards before nodding his head in acknowledgment and turning back towards Despayre.
Big B: Yeah, I know. But it's all going to be ok in the end, because while I may not have a partner in the match, you'll still be there!
Despayre: Yeah! Although I'm going to be strapped together with Joshua Acquin, so that will be kind of different. But it's kind of cool because then we can use it to play games, too!
Big B: Oh yeah, I never even thought of that. Oh my gosh, we can use it to play jump rope!
Despayre: Yeah, and there's so many cool jump rope games we can play too. Like we could play relay... or helicopter.
Big B: Oooo ooo, we could play school too. Or Water Splash!
Despayre: Yeah, those are the best! We could also...
Despayre suddenly trails off as he seems to stop and start to think about something. Despayre looks off into the distance for a few moments as Big B looks confused, before Despy eventually turns back towards B.
Despayre: Wait a second, wasn't there some other reason we were talking about this? Like... isn't there something important going on this weekend we were focusing on?
Big B stops and thinks for a moment, before suddenly snapping his fingers as his face lights up.
Big B: I got it! I can't believe I almost forgot about it, that would have been sooooo bad.
Despayre: Why, what was it?
Big B then points towards his shopping cart as he looks at Despy.
Big B: We still have to finish shopping for our barbeque!
Despayre: Oh yeah! That was it! Was there anything else?
Big B: Um... I don't think so.
Despayre: Oh ok, good. Well then let's finish shopping.
The Bosom Buddies go back to their previous shopping plans, seeming to both already completely forgotten their entire discussion surrounding Big B's upcoming match against Lucian Frost. As they start to head off, however, Big B seems to come to some sort of realization as he stops once again.
Big B: Wait one gosh darn tootin' second.
Despayre, who had continued on walking, not realizing Big B had stopped, now turns back towards his friend to see what's going on after having heard him.
Despayre: What's wrong?
Big B is silent for a moment, seeming to think things over before responding to Despayre.
Big B: Where did all of this junk food come from?!?
Despayre is quickly to point in the direction of Angel while nervously yelling in response.
Despayre: He did it!
With that, Despayre then turn and quickly runs off, heading down to the end of the aisle and then turning out of view of the shot. B watches Despayre run off then simply shrugs before looking down at Angel.
Big B: You know, you're going to get me in a lot of trouble!
Big B shakes his head at Angel before grabbing some of the bags of junk food from out of the cart and going to put them back as the scene slowly fades to black.
