The Billion-Dollar Princess Bride - Scene 2
The Billion-Dollar Princess Bride
Part 4
[Dawn, the next morning]
Angle: Sir, that
ship is still following us!
Shane McMahon:
It doesn't matter! See! [pointing skyward] The Cliffs of
Russo! We're safe, only
Big Show is strong enough to climb that thing!
[Big Show, all three
holding on to him, proceeds to climb a rope up the side of the cliff, followed
by someone else]
Angle: [seeing
a man clad in shiny black leather pants, black t-shirt, and a black mask
that covers his head and eyes] I was right, he IS a man of intensity!
He's catching up!
[Finally, Big Show
reaches the top. Shane McMahon quickly cuts through the rope with
a dagger]
[All three peer over
the edge of the cliff]
Shane McMahon:
He didn't fall! Damn! Well, whoever he is, he's seen us with Steph.
He has to job! Show, carry her. Kurt, wrestle HIM [points to the
man climbing]
[Shane McMahon, and
Show head off with Stephanie, leaving Angle alone]
[Angle practices a
few stretches. He then calls to the Man in Black]
Angle: Hey there.
My name is Kurt Angle. I'm an Olympic hero and--
Man in black:
[interrupting] Kirk Angel... would you please SHUT the HELL up!
I'm trying to climb here!
Angle: [apologetic]
Sorry.
Man in Black:
Thank You.
Angle: [pauses]
Umm... can you go a bit faster?
Man in black:
I guess you're into quickies, huh?
Angle: [confused]
I don't get it.. [shakes his head] Never mind. Here. I'll lower
some rope... but as a man of integrity, I should inform you that I'm only
waiting around to Wrestle you. I promise I'll wait until you reach the
top though.
Man in black:
If that's the way you want it, I'll give you an ass kicking you will never
eeeeeeeeeever forget!
Angle: [shrugging]
We'll just see about that! Here... [Angle throws the rope to the Man
in black, and helps him to the top where there's a clearing]
Man in black:
Thanks Junior [He gets in a face-off position]
Angle: I'll wait
until you're ready...
Man in black:
Thanks again [He sits and tightens his laces]
Angle: Um... you
don't by any chance happen to be bald?
[The man in black
pulls a lock of long blond hair out from under his mask, then tucks it
back in again]
Angle: Ahh.. k.
Thanks. You see, my medals were stolen by a bald-headed redneck. I worked
long and hard for those medals. I won them in the Olympics you know [Angle
takes out a picture of the medals and shows it to the Man in black]
Man in black:
I really don't care, Kirk.
Angle: [not
noticing the man in black's disinterest. Angle now seems to be focusing
on a long-ago memory] Those medals meant the world to me. I made a
vow that the next time I see the bald-headed redneck, I'll go up to him
and say 'Hello, my name is Kurt Angle. You stole my medals. Prepare to
tap'
Man in black:
Man... you must be some grade A loser to spend your life searching for
pieces of tin.
[Angle is hurt by
the man in black's comments, and turns around, hiding the tear sliding
down his face]
[After another minute,
the Man in black stands up, prepared to wrestle]
Man in black:
I hope you find the bald-headed redneck someday... if only to stop you
whining about your medals.
Angle: [ignoring
his comment] You ready to go then?
Man in black:
I am. C'mon baby!
[The two wrestle]
Angle: Hey,
you're pretty good.
Man in black:
I know I am... but why are you smiling?
Angle: Because
I know something you don't know.
Man in black:
And what's that?
Angle: [knocking
the man in black to the ground] I know a painful submission move!
[Angle proceeds
to put the Man in Black in the ankle-lock submission hold]
Man in black:
[struggling to escape the move] There's something I should tell
YOU.
Angle: What?
Man in black:
I know a painful submission move too!
[The Man in black
breaks out of the hold, and knocks Angle's feet out from under him, then
proceeds to put him in "The Walls"]
[Angle taps]
[The Man in black
then hits Angle with a stiff punch, knocking him out]
Man in black:
Please understand I hold you in the highest respect [pause] Actually,
no I don't...
[The man in black
runs off to find Shane McMahon. As he proceeds up a big hill, he
is met by a charging Big Show]
[The Man in black
jumps out of the way, causing Big Show to land on his face]
[Big Show climbs back
to his feet and tries to grab the man in black, but misses]
[Man in Black puts
Big Show in a sleeper hold. Show struggles, running out of breath. After
a few moments, Big Show falls to the ground, unconscious]
Man in Black:
[looking at Big Show] Big Show, or Big SLOW. Either way, you're
the biggest jobber I've eeeeeeeeeeever seen...
[The Man in black
then heads off to continue his quest]
