Round 1

Rony

Well I get cranky in the mornings, sometimes *cough* 

 

Eric

Story continues below advertisement

Yeah, so what’s on the agenda

 

Rony

The usual *smiling* 

 

Eric

That’s reassuring 

 

Rony

You bet it is! *wiping his towel around, over his head*

 

EXT. ROAD TO RONY’S HOUSE – MID DAY

 

A car drives up to a field that is just outside of Rony’s house. A man  gets out of the car and walks over to  Eric and Rony.

 

Rony 

C’mon, you can do better than that! 

 

Erics is doing push ups on the floor

 

Rony 

I know you have it in you so keep going! *driving in a golf cart*

 

Rony pulls the cart and scream 

 

Rony

Keep going back and forth, until you drop!

 

Erics gives him a thumbs up and Rony gets out of the cart. He walks over to the posts that are lining the road. The man that had stepped out of the car goes over to Rony. 

 

CM

Excuse me, are you Rony Hove? 

 

Rony 

Depends who’s asking *stretches his arms in the air* Did Linda send you? 

 

CM

No, sir

 

Rony

Them Rony Hove it is *leans in*

 

The two shake hands 

 

Rony 

So what brings you here? 

 

CM 

I was curious about you fighter, I have a proposal

 

Rony 

He don’t do weddings or anything like that matter of fact *whispers* maybe that’s why we don’t have any money

 

CM 

By proposal I mean deal 

 

Rony 

I know, but that DID get me thinking. So, what’s this proposal you’re talking about? 

 

CM 

I want your fighter to fight one of “our” fighters

 

Rony 

*takes a deep breath* I’m sorry but we don’t really do those type of things *starts to walk away* 

 

CM 

What if I told you the fight would be against Ben Reid

 

Rony stops and slowly walks up to CM

 

Rony 

Now who the DUCK are you, exactly? *with a grin, like he’s going to punch him*

 

CM 

Just a simple business man, just like you *takes out a card from his pocket* call me if you two change your minds 

 

As CM walks away, Rony Stares at the card. He closes his eyes
