Bret and Shawn found the Kid and Hunter lying on the living room floor out of breath and sweaty.
Bret: What happened?
Shawn: I'm not sure I really want to know.
Sean: (pointing at Hunter) He's crazy. He put me in a headlock.
Hunter: He bit me.
Sean: To get free. It didn't work.
Hunter: So he slammed my face into the couch.
Sean: Don't worry; his nose took the worst of it.
Hunter: Lay off my nose.
Bret: I think you both need to lay off the caffeine and sugar for a while.
Shawn: It just gets you guys too wound up. (to Bret) Oh God, (Bret looks at him) we don't act like this, do we?
Hunter and Sean: (answering) Yes!
A familiar beeping sounds. Our heroes moan as Vince appears on the screen.
Vince: Who gave you a break?
Bret: No one. We were experiencing…(not wanting to tell, but knowing he can't lie) some hostility.
Vince: Oh, good then. Please, hurt each other.
Hunter: We're done now Vince.
Vince: Pity, but it proves that one thing.
Shawn: What's that?
Vince: That I am so close to breaking you. So close to winning. (laughs maniacally and disappears from the screen)
Hunter: (standing) He won't win, not if I can help it.
Shawn: You okay?
Hunter: Yeah.
Bret: What about you Kid?
Sean: (wearily) I can go a whole nother round. (Hunter looks at him) With the fan fic, not you.
Hunter: Let's go then.
They reenter the theater.
