MY COBRA KAI SCENARIOS

A/N: I do not own Cobra Kai, the characters, or the movies, TV shows, etc. on which these are based. This is all just for enjoyment.

(SCENE: The LaRUSSOS' kitchen. While DANIEL, AMANDA, SAM, TORY & CHOZEN are in the middle of their discussion regarding what happened at the tournament, ANTHONY, ever the electronics junkie, is on his phone.)
ANTHONY: You got the address? Yeah, good. Okay, I want a large, thick crust with double cheese, ham, pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, sausage, green peppers—huh? Black olives? Yeah, throw some of those on there. In fact, just throw everything you got on it. Oh, but no anchovies, and I mean NO anchovies. You put anchovies on this thing and you're in big trouble, okay? (Glances up to see DANIEL glaring at him.) Uh, yeah, that'll do it. And the clock's tickin'. (Quickly hangs up.)

(SCENE: The office at the Cobra Kai dojo. KREESE is shown from the back, on the phone, and puffing on his customary cigar.)
KREESE: (laughs) Don't be ridiculous. As the owner of Cobra Kai Karate, I can assure both you and your viewers that my students do not, in any way, shape or form, endorse, condone or participate in any criminal activity whatsoever. Yes, I've heard similar rumors myself. Okay, thanks for calling, and not reversing the charges. Goodbye. (Angrily slams down the receiver. KREESE is now shown from the front.) Bleeding-heart pantywaists. This community is overflowing with 'm. (Takes one last drag on his cigar and slowly grinds the butt into the ashtray, glaring at it all the while.)*

(SCENE: Interior of the Cobra Kai dojo. The students are nervously standing at attention while SILVER is slowly pacing back & forth. The silence in the room is deafening.)
SILVER: (eerily calm) This is indeed a very sad day for Cobra Kai Karate. We've been #1 in the Valley for the last six months, and now, in light of recent events, young people and parents alike are looking elsewhere for learning the martial arts. We're losing valuable and much-needed increases in membership and locations. We're losing credibility among other dojos, as well as the All-Valley Committee. And why? (Explodes.) I'LL TELL YOU WHY! IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF THAT LITTLE SHITSTAIN WHO DEIGNS TO CALL HIMSELF A SENSEI! THAT PRETENTIOUS WASTE OF OXYGEN WHO—NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE—WON THE SINGLE MOST PRESTIGIOUS TOURNAMENT IN THE VALLEY BY SHEER LUCK! THAT RAT-FACED CRETIN WHO HAS THE AUDACITY TO BRING IN AN OUTSIDE PARTY TO HELP HIM GO BACK ON HIS PART OF THE AGREEMENT! (Turning to a nearby sparring dummy, he punches it in the face with full force on the next three words.) DANIEL! GOD! DAMN! (Flings it to the ground.) LaRUSSO! This is an embarrassment! A disgrace! (Turns toward the 11x18" sepia-toned portrait of his father, which is hanging on the wall near the office door.) What do you think Terry Silver, Sr. would say about this if he was alive today?! (In response, KYLER turns & nudges one of the other students.)
KYLER: (whispering) "Help, lemme out of this box! I can't breathe in here! Help, lemme out!" (Giggles, then sees SILVER glaring at him, which instantly shuts him up.)
SILVER: (walking to his left) We gotta do something. (He passes by a student who's starting to slouch and, without even looking, snaps his fingers in his face to make him stand up straight.) We gotta do it fast. (Leans his forehead against the window frame, then sighs deeply.) Whois Mr. LaRusso's friend, anyway?

(SCENE: Inside a local Burger King. DANIEL, AMANDA, JOHNNY & CARMEN are sitting at a table & having dinner.)
DANIEL: Well, I dunno about you guys, but I, for one, am SO glad that Silver's out of our lives for good.
AMANDA: Yeah, really. And I thought Kreese was an unbalanced maniac!
CARMEN: Amen to that! (She raises her drink in a toast, and the others follow suit.)
DANIEL: By the way, Johnny, where is Silver?
JOHNNY: Oh, I wouldn't worry about that. Let's just say he's being examined by top men.
DANIEL: (puzzled) Who?
JOHNNY: (looks him dead in the eye) TOP. MEN.
(CUT TO: Some close-up shots of a crate being nailed shut & padlocked. On the side, it says "TOP SECRET! DO NOT OPEN!" The last thing we see before the closing credits is a man wheeling the crate down an aisle as the end theme from Raiders Of the Lost Ark plays.)

(We start with a close-up of a red scrunchie lying by the edge of a bathroom sink. A small, olive-skinned hand comes into view and snatches it up.)
(CUT TO: The back of a young girl's head. As the opening vocals to Bon Jovi's "In & Out of Love" gradually increase in volume, the girl starts to put her straight dark brown hair in a tight ponytail. Next, we cut to some close-up shots of a red T-shirt being grabbed off the top of a hamper, and then put on, during which the camera pans out a bit to show the Eagle Fang logo. The drums & guitars kick in, and that shot is followed by some jump-cuts of the girl's hands pulling on a pair of black fingerless gloves with red & white trim, with close-up shots of her narrow dark brown eyes in between, as well as her right fist smacking into her left palm & vice-versa. Finally, the camera pans out a little more, and we see who the girl is: DEVON LEE. She's standing in front of the mirror, and goes into a fighting stance as her lips curl into a defiant sneer.)
(CUT TO: A back porch. The door swings open, and out marches a glaring, pumped-up DEVON. As the chorus kicks in, we see some slow-motion shots of her practicing her punches, blocks, dodges and kicks as the title appears on the screen. One of her kicks goes through the A in "COBRA" and the K in "KAI"; and, in synchronization with the sound of glass shattering, the letters fly apart as the music fades out.)

(SCENE: The LaRUSSOS' living room. A very antsy TORY has just gotten up from the couch.)
TORY: So what do we do now?
SAM: What do you mean what do we do now?
TORY: Miguel's out there somewhere!
SAM: I know Miguel's out there.
BERT: Fight?
NATE: Fight.
BERT: Kitchen?
NATE: Kitchen.
BERT: Yeah. (Exeunt.)
TORY: So? What're we gonna do about it?
SAM: What can we do about it? Look, Tory, I'm worried about Miguel, too. We all are. But Johnny specifically told us to stay put until further notice, so that's what we're doing.
TORY: (sarcastically) Ohhh, so THAT'S the plan from our great leader, right? Just sit on our asses and don't do jackshit!
SAM: (indignantly) I never said I was your "great leader".
TORY: (gets in SAM'S face) Well, you sure act like it sometimes.
SAM: Oh yeah? Well, YOU act like a bitch sometimes, you know that?! And this attitude of yours isn't helping!
TORY: (really pissed now) Yeah?! Well, maybe I'll just take my attitude and leave! (Storms toward the front door.)
SAM: Why don't you?!
TORY: I WILL!
SAM: GOOD!
TORY: (flinging the door open) GREAT!
SAM: (as TORY slams it) GO AHEAD! WE DON'T NEED YOU!
(CUT TO: Kitchen. BERT & NATE are sitting at the table, and each are eating a bag of chips.)
BERT: Pork rind? (Offers it to NATE, who accepts it.)
NATE: (mouth full) Pork rind. (Wolfs it down, and they continue snacking.)

(We fade in on DANIEL standing at MR. MIYAGI'S grave. And yes, this is the same scene & dialog from the season 4 finale.)
DANIEL: I know this isn't your fight, and it's a lot to ask. (pause) But will you help me finally put an end to Cobra Kai? (The camera pans to the right, and we see CHOZEN.)
CHOZEN: (softly, but with a voice that's hard as steel) Yosh. (He approaches the gravestone, then bows with DANIEL.)
FEMALE VOICE: I'm with you, too. (DANIEL'S head snaps up in an instant, and his eyes nearly pop out of their sockets. As the opening guitar riff to Def Leppard's "Switch 625" starts playing, that's when we see who the voice belongs to. First, there's a pair of thin, muscular legs that are covered by a pair of black Doc Martens and navy blue jeans. The camera pans upward to show that the mystery woman is wearing a black button-down shirt and a black suede fringe jacket. Finally we see who it is: it's JULIE PIERCE! Yes, the same JULIE from the rarely mentioned & often disrespected Next Karate Kid. Sure, she's not a youngster anymore, but she still looks every bit as tough as she did back then.)
(CUT TO: DANIEL. The surprised look on his face subsides into a satisfied grin. As CHOZEN looks on, she approaches them and holds up her right hand, which DANIEL grabs, and she then clasps her other hand over his. He then turns to CHOZEN and extends his left hand. CHOZEN grasps it in both of his hands, then nods in agreement. DANIEL does the same, then turns his attention back to JULIE. And boy, is she ready for action.)
JULIE: Now let's kick some ass. (The three of them drop hands, then turn and bow to the gravestone one last time.)
(CUT TO: A black screen with the title front & center.)

(SCENE: Empty parking lot at night. DANIEL & SILVER are in the midst of their fight. SILVER launches a roundhouse kick at DANIEL. He dodges it, and the cameraman gets knocked off his perch. Upon seeing this, the fight screeches to a halt.)
SILVER: Uhh—(points to DANIEL) he did it!
DANIEL: (outraged) YOU SON OF A BITCH! (The fight continues.)

(SCENE: Hospital waiting room. MIGUEL, now in his mid-20s & married to SAM, is anxiously bouncing up & down on the balls of his feet. His eyes quickly dart between his watch and the clock on the wall.)
MIGUEL: (impatiently) Dammit, time, move faster! (Finally, the door opens, and out comes SAM, her eyes wide open.)
SAM: Miguel?
MIGUEL: Sam? Sam, what is it? (A huge smile slowly spreads across her face.)
SAM: (barely audible) We're having a baby.
MIGUEL: (gasps) We're having a baby?!
SAM: We're having a baby!
MIGUEL: WE'RE HAVING A BABY! (They throw their arms around each other & kiss passionately, then separate.) Now, I'm sorry, Sam, but you're gonna have to excuse me for a moment.
SAM: What? Why? (In one second flat, MIGUEL takes off like a shot.)
MIGUEL: (hysterical with joy) WE'RE HAVING A BABY!
(CUT TO: Outside. MIGUEL is running all over town like a maniac, and so fast that his legs are a complete blur.)
MIGUEL: WE'REHAVINGABABYWE'REHAVINGABABYWE'REHAVINGABABY! (Repeated ad infinitum as he's running.)
(CUT TO: A news studio.)
NEWSCASTER: Experts are predicting that the mayor will propose budget cuts across the board. However, the most cuts are rumored to be to the public school system, which is already strained well past the breaking point. (All of a sudden, MIGUEL bursts in & darts in front of the camera.)
MIGUEL: HEY, RESEDA! GUESS WHAT?!
(CUT TO: Outside the studio.)
MIGUEL'S VOICE: WE'RE HAVING A BABYYYYYYYY!
(FADE TO BLACK.)

(SCENE: All-Valley Tournament. We're in the midst of the final match between SAM & TORY. SAM goes for a high front kick. TORY dodges it by dropping to the mat & swinging her right leg out in a wide circle, which instantly trips SAM. After she crashes to the ground in a heap, TORY bounces right back up.)
TORY: (to camera) Road House.

(SCENE: The Diaz apartment. The front door is unlocked & flung open, and in marches a VERY angry CARMEN.)
CARMEN: You bring yourself in here right now. (MIGUEL guiltily slinks inside and heads to the couch. JOHNNY is coming up to the doorway, but CARMEN, completely unaware that he's standing there, accidentally slams the door in his face.) And if you think that ride home was something, believe me, honey, we have only just begun! (JOHNNY lets himself in as CARMEN throws her purse & keys on the kitchen table. She does so with so much power that they both slide off and land on the floor.) Had us thinking you were lying in the middle of the goddamn desert with your throat slit wide open, and you're down in Mexico! (During CARMEN'S tirade, we see ROBBY very tentatively approach the front window, which is open a crack, and peek in. The look of brotherly concern in his eyes says it all.) Weren't you, Miguel?! Isn't that where you were?! Didn't you go down there to Mexico to find that no-good piece of shit who has the nerve to call himself your father?! Didn't you?!
MIGUEL: (barely audible) Mom...
CARMEN: SHUT UP! Don't you dare open your mouth when I'm asking you a question! (eyes still locked in on MIGUEL) Robby, go home! (Eager to avoid CARMEN ripping into him as well, ROBBY hauls ass.) I can only hope you can have this same experience, Miguel. I hope that one day, you come to understand exactly how it feels to THINK that your child's life is in danger. You have put us through levels of frenzy, panic, distress, and now that we know you're okay, rage. (CUT TO: JOHNNY. He's not saying anything, but he's still pissed, even more so than CARMEN.) THAT'S where we are right now, Miguel; we are in RAGE. Because we know that YOU have been to MEXICO. Looking for your FATHER. Isn't that your plan was, Miguel? Didn't you want to find your father? Well, let's see, you had tacos. (pauses) Tacos in Eagle Pass, TX! (to JOHNNY) Johnny, tell me, have you ever had tacos in Eagle Pass?
JOHNNY: No, not recently. (to MIGUEL) But seriously, though, what the hell were you thinking?
MIGUEL: (ashamed) I wasn't thinking.
JOHNNY: Yeah, no shit, Sherlock.
CARMEN: Did you really think you'd get away with this, Miguel? Did you really think that you could go joyriding off into the night, much less SOUTH OF THE GODDAMN BORDER, and none of us would find out?!
MIGUEL: Mom...
CARMEN: SHUT UP! Because I know what was going on! You were off being wild and free, and not thinking about the consequences of what you were doing, or the next day, OR the day after that! All I can say is you better thank your lucky stars that Johnny was willing to risk his life to go down there and find your ass. Well, what do you have to say for yourself? (MIGUEL opens his mouth to say something, but nothing comes out. And that's when CARMEN gets really fired up.) You better answer me when I ask you a question, mijo!
MIGUEL: Mom, Johnny, I'm sorry. I am so sorry for scaring you like that. It'll never happen again. Can I please just have my punishment?
CARMEN: Miguel, please. We have been through way too much these last few days to be thinking about that right now. But when we do, it's gonna be a doozy.
MIGUEL: But I'd like my punishment before I go to bed. (In one second flat, CARMEN furiously lunges at MIGUEL, but JOHNNY grabs her & holds her back.)
JOHNNY: (calmly) Do us all a favor and go to bed. Okay? (as MIGUEL gets up to leave) And can you do me another favor? If you're thinking about running away from home, please don't take my car.
CARMEN: And there's just one more thing I have to say. You have proven to us that we cannot trust you. It's going to be a very long time before we even consider trusting you again. (MIGUEL starts to say something else, but then thinks better of it & trudges off to bed. CARMEN then turns to JOHNNY.) We have to do something about that boy, Johnny. Now after this, how are we gonna know whether or not we can trust Miguel in the future? And I'll tell you something else: before we get any sleep tonight, you and I are gonna figure this one out.
JOHNNY: (in a cowboy accent as he saunters into the kitchen) All right, Little Joe, you get the pad 'n' pencil, 'n' bring 'm into the chuckwagon. I'll fix some coffee 'n' beans and a side o' pork, and uh, we'll see what we can do about catchin' all the desperados. (CARMEN sighs & shakes her head as we FADE TO BLACK.)

(SCENE: The front door of a house in the suburbs. Seconds later, an egg comes flying into frame, hits the door, and slowly starts oozing downward, at which the unseen teenage troublemakers start cheering & laughing hysterically. That's when the door flies open, and out marches the one & only...HULK HOGAN! And man, is he furious. He then sniffs, and his face contorts in disgust, a clear indication that said egg was very, VERY rotten.)
HOGAN: Okay, you guys! Listen up! People paid good money to watch this show! When they subscribe to Netflix, they want cold sodas, hot pizza, and no juvenile delinquents vandalizing the neighborhood! Do I have to come out there myself? (Gritting his teeth, he starts tearing off his shirt, just like he did back in the day.) Do you think the Cobesters can stand up to the Hulkster?! (throws it aside) Well, if I were you, I'd run the rest of Cobra Kai RIGHT NOW! (calmly, to camera) Sorry, folks. It won't happen again. (Off-camera, the neighbors start applauding in gratitude as HOGAN goes back inside & slams the door.)

(SCENE: The food court at the mall. SAM is hungrily enjoying a hot fudge sundae with nuts & whipped cream while MIGUEL is fidgeting back & forth in anticipation. He then glances up, and sees that the others are arriving: ROBBY, TORY, ANTHONY & LIA.)
LIA: We got your text, Miguel. Is everything all right?
ANTHONY: (irritated) This better be good.
ROBBY: (grinning wickedly & cracking his knuckles) Been a long time since I got to break anything.
MIGUEL: (proudly) Family and friends, thank you for meeting us here. Now prepare yourselves for the most exciting news you will ever hear in your lives! (He turns to SAM & gets down on one knee.) Feast your eyes upon—(gestures dramatically towards her stomach)—Miguel Jr.! (The instant those words come out of his mouth, there's dead silence. SAM is in the middle of taking another spoonful of her dessert, then stops cold, no pun intended. Suddenly, she throws what's left of the sundae right in MIGUEL'S face.)
SAM: (pissed off) MIGUEL, YOU ASSHOLE! YOU DIDN'T WARN ME FIRST! HERE I AM, STUFFING MY FACE IN FRONT OF ALL OUR FRIENDS, AND YOU PICK NOW TO ANNOUNCE ONLY THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT MOMENT OF OUR LIVES?! (She then realizes what she's done, and her anger subsides. Well, sort of.) Oh, God, Miguel, I'm sorry. I had no right to go off on you like that. (moans) And I was really enjoying that sundae, too! Now I'm gonna have to buy another! (Meanwhile, the others are starting to understand what MIGUEL was telling them. TORY gasps and covers her nose and mouth with both hands. ROBBY & ANTHONY are standing off to the side with their chests puffed out, and their right fists over their hearts.)
ROBBY & ANTHONY: (thinking to themselves as they start to get misty-eyed) WE'RE GOING TO BE UNCLES.
LIA: (stammering) Sam, are—are you saying what we think you're saying?
SAM: Yes, Lia. I'm pregnant! (With a joyful squeal, LIA starts bouncing up & down like a runaway ping-pong ball. SAM turns to MIGUEL as ROBBY & ANTHONY immediately rush over to him, then proceed to bury him in noogies and bearhugs.) And we are not naming the baby Miguel Jr.
MIGUEL: (struggling to get out of their grasp) YES...WE...ARE!
TORY: So, when are they arriving? (For the second time, everything & everyone stops instantaneously.)
OTHERS: THEY?!
SAM: (uneasily) Um, we're just expecting one...I think.
MIGUEL: (alarmed) Th—they? THEY?!
TORY: Well, Sam, even thought you are only in your first trimester, that doesn't necessarily mean there's only one baby in there. (Upon hearing this, SAM is trying like hell to convince herself that TORY doesn't know what she's talking about.)
SAM: But—there still could be only one, right? (to the others) Right?!
TORY: (pauses to think) Yeah, I guess it is too early to know for sure. And you're right, there still could be only one. (with an evil grin) Although I did hear about this woman in Albuquerque who had six. (chuckles) What are the odds of that, huh? (CUT TO: MIGUEL & SAM. Both are frozen in absolute terror, imagining SAM being with multiple children.) But let's not get ahead of ourselves. I'm sure you'll find out soon enough. And besides, this sort of thing only happens once in a blue moon anyway.
(FADE TO: A fantasy sequence. MIGUEL & SAM are in their living room, and they have their hands full with six babies. SAM, edging closer to her breaking point, is rocking two of them in a futile attempt to get them to stop crying while another is tugging relentlessly on the left leg of her jeans. In the meantime, the other three rugrats are climbing all over a hapless MIGUEL.)
SAM: (singing hoarsely & off-key) Lul-la-by-y, and good-ni-i-ight, and some words I don't re-mem-ber-r...
MIGUEL: (in desperation) Kids, for the last time, Daddy is not a jungle gym! Sam, where are the bottles?!
SAM: Forget about the bottles! Where are the diapers! (Finally, the two exhausted parents finally lose it.)
MIGUEL: (bawling) I WANT MY MOM-MEEEEEE!
SAM: (doing likewise) ME TOOOOOO!
(FADE TO: Back to the mall. SAM snaps out of her stupor. But then, before anyone can say anything else, she furiously grabs MIGUEL by his shirt, roughly turns him toward her, and gets right in his face.)
SAM: (through clenched teeth) WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME! (Needless to say, MIGUEL is terrified by his wife's sudden burst of rage.)
MIGUEL: (squeaky & barely audible) Mommy!
(CUT TO BLACK.)

(SCENE: Exam room at the doctor's office. SAM is lying on the table with her shirttail pulled up to expose her protruding stomach. MIGUEL is standing beside her.)
SAM: God, I hate this part. The gel is always freezing cold.
MIGUEL: (sympathetically) Aww, I'm sorry, Sam. You wanna trade? I mean, with all the enchiladas I've been eating lately, (He puffs out his cheeks and holds his arms out like he's carrying a huge beach ball.) I'm startin' to make sumo wrestlers look like Lady Gaga.
SAM: (laughing uproariously) You're such an idiot! (Just then, the doctor comes in to apply the gel to SAM'S belly.)
DOCTOR: Okay, here we go now. (Upon contact with the gel—and yes, it's ice-cold—SAM gasps and grabs hold of MIGUEL'S hand. MIGUEL chuckles sheepishly and rubs the back of his neck with his free hand. Meanwhile, the doctor has just placed the attachment to the ultrasound machine over the gel. They look toward the monitor as she positions the instrument in just the right spot.) Ah, there we are. The baby is still looking nice and healthy.
MIGUEL: (anxiously) And you're positive there's only one?!
DOCTOR: Yes, Mr. Diaz. (MIGUEL & SAM both sigh with relief.) Like I've been telling you from the get-go, there is only ONE.
SAM: (muttering to herself) I'm gonna get you for that, Tory.
DOCTOR: Pardon me?
SAM: (quickly) Nothing.
DOCTOR: So, if you'd like, I can tell you what you're having. (The instant SAM hears those words, her excitement level goes through the roof.)
MIGUEL: You can? (The doctor nods.) Well...
SAM: (interrupting) YES! I mean no! Uhh—oh, I know! Let's do the cake thing, Miguel! (to the doctor) Yeah! Yeah, that's it! Don't tell us! Just put it in an envelope and we'll take it to the bakery! Then we'll call everybody and have the party at our house! (As SAM continues babbling, MIGUEL is standing there in complete silence, trying to take in what's happening.)
(FADE TO: Bakery. The front door opens, and SAM & MIGUEL make their way inside. Well, technically, SAM is dragging MIGUEL by the forearm while clutching the envelope that contains the ultrasound results. She's walking very fast, and somehow, MIGUEL manages to keep himself from tripping & falling on his face.)
SAM: (bubbling with enthusiasm) I can't believe it, Miguel! We're gonna know whether we're having a boy or a girl! We just give this to the baker, and after he reads the results, he'll get the cake and put it in a box, and then we'll all get together and find out! OhmyGodthisissoexcitingIgottacallAishawhenwegethome!
MIGUEL: (thinking to himself as SAM is talking) This is it! This for real! What if it's a boy? If it is, I don't give a shit what Sam says! We're naming him Miguel Jr.! (laughing) Oh, man he is so gonna get into everything! I'll get to teach him how to get on Kyler's last nerve! (stops) But if it's a girl...
SAM: (tearfully clasping the envelope to her chest in both hands) Oh, my sweet little angel! I know it's gonna be a few more months before you're here, but we can't wait to meet you! (She looks over her shoulder to find that MIGUEL is no longer by her side. After glancing around for a bit, she finds him. He's sitting curled up in a ball on the floor with his back against the wall, much to the puzzlement of the other customers.) Miguel? Is something wrong, babe? (MIGUEL doesn't hear a word she says. He's too busy freaking out over the possibility of his firstborn child being a daughter.)
MIGUEL: (thinking to himself) If it's a girl, (panic-stricken) oh, my GOD! She's gonna grow up to be so beautiful! (An evil grin spreads across his sweating face.) And if anyone tries ANYTHING with her, SO! MANY! DEAD BODIES TO DISPOSE OF! (He starts laughing maniacally, and he's totally oblivious to the quizzical look from the baker, as well as the other customers nervously keeping their distance from him.)
SAM: (dismissively) That's nice, honey. Now can stop planning your murder spree and help me pick out a cake?
(CUT TO BLACK.)

(SCENE: Miyagi-Do Karate, backyard. HAWK & DEMETRIE are on the sparring deck, in the middle of their stretching exercises.)
DEMETRIE: Look, Eli, are you sure you wanna do this? I already said I forgive you, and so does everybody else.
HAWK: Yeah, I know, but I still think I got off too easy.
DEMETRIE: (sighs & shrugs) Okay, if you insist. (They get up.)
HAWK: You, uh, wanna ring the bell, Apollo?
DEMETIRE: (resigned) All right. (deadpan, as he reaches over to his left & pretends to ring said bell) Ding. Ding. (They get into their fighting stances, slowly circle each other, and the sparring gets underway. As DEMETRIE blocks a punch from HAWK, they freeze-frame and then fade into a watercolor painting as "You're the Best Around" starts playing over the closing credits.)**

(*-This bit takes place before KREESE is arrested.
**-This bit works with either SAM & TORY, ANTHONY & KENNY, HAWK & DEMETIRE, or ROBBY & MIGUEL.)
