[The sudden sound of “Maggie May” begins to play loudly throughout the mall. Just your every day, average mall located somewhere in south Vegas. That’s not important. What is though is that it’s Chris Bond’s cell phone that’s causing this massive look-around. He quickly begins fumbling over himself, trying to find his phone. That’s when it hit him; he’s carrying it in his hand. Today is just not the day.]

Bond: “Yo. Good, you’re here? Meet me in front of Kay’s. K. Bye.”

[Bond folds his phone shut, and stands there. He looks around. Quickly he rubs the side of his face with his right hand. Today is the day. Well, it was more like two weeks ago… when Paige ran into his arms and told him her problems. That’s when he knew she was the one. And that’s why he’s here now. Waiting on the Preacher.]

Preacherman: “009!”

[Bond turns around. In a twangy, yet not so Southern voice exclaims the numerical nickname for the secret agent. That’s right… Billy Jacobs, Bond’s new buddy, is standing about twenty feet away, wearing a black hoodie, and a pair of khaki shorts. Bond too is wearing shorts, khaki as well, but he’s wearing a cut off grey t-shirt. The two meet in the middle and shake hands.]

Bond: “How’s it going today Reverend? …And what’s with the hoodie? It’s like 104-degrees outside right now.”

[Jacobs just shrugs his shoulders.]

Jacobs: “Well, I get cold in these places. Especially since I was thinkin’ of headin’ to the movies later to hit a late night showin’ of the Dark Knight.”

[Bond looks right at him… mouth open.]

Bond: “You haven’t seen that piece of cinema mastery yet?”

Jacobs: “Naw, not yet. I do hear good things though. Ready to hit the jewelers?”

[Bond looks at the floor, shrugs his shoulders, and kicks at the ground.]

Bond: “Maybe we’ll hit the food court first? I could use a chocolate shake mano.”

Jacobs: “Well, I could use a milkshake as well… but heh, ‘member when you did that serenadin’?”

[Double-Oh-Nine just blushes.]

Bond: “On second thought Reverend, I’ll just get it over with. It’s a big choice.”

Jacobs: “No doubt, but why did you need me? Talon busy?”

[Bond chuckles. The two begin walking toward the jewelry counter.]

Bond: “Actually, he’s a little preoccupied at the moment. Something about midgets and the letter D. Don’t ask, I’ve got to learn to stop that as well.”

[Jacobs smacks Bond on the back.]

Jacobs: “Well Bondy, I’ve got to say. I’m impressed, I mean you’re ready to take the plunge?”

[Bond looks at him, a sparkle in his eye. But not one of those gay sparkles… you know, nothing against gayness or anything, it’s just that’s not Bond’s sort of thing.]

Bond: “Yeah man, I’m really into her. I love her, she’s awesome. Does the good Lord have anything to say about marrying your boss?”

[Jacobs looks up, index finger and thumb on his chin. Perhaps he’s searching for the answer…]

Jacobs: “Listen to me. If you’re happy, that’s all that matter. Don’t go askin’ for input on the personal life mano.”

Bond: “Yeah, I s’pose you’re right. I believe the big man upstairs could find it in his heart to forgive and forget if he found how truly happy we are.”

[Bond chuckles to himself. He pats Jacobs on the shoulder.]

Bond: “Reverend, you really know what to say.”

Jacobs: “But I didn’t really say anything…”

[After what appears to be like five minutes, but in all actuality is only like one minute, they arrive at Kay’s Jewelry. Not even in the store ten second and already they’re being mobbed by people—okay, one sales associate, a “Katherine”, walks up to them.]

Katherine: “Welcome to Kay’s Jewelry, I’m Katherine, and I’m the store manager. How can I be of service?”

[The Reverend quickly bursts in.]

Jacobs: “My friend here, well, he’s lookin’ to tie the knot. And he’s lookin’ for a rang.”

Katherine: “A ring?”

Jacobs: “A rang.”

Katherine: “I’m sorry… Ring?”

Jacobs: “That’s what I said. A rang.”

Katherine: “Ring.”

[Jacobs nods his head.]

Jacobs: “Yes, a weddin’ rang.”

Katherine: “A wedding ring?”

Jacobs: “That’s what I said! A dag-on weddin’ rang! A hitchin’ band! C’mon. I’m speakin’ English.”

[Bond is standing off to the side. All he can do is chuckle to himself. Soon though, it’s too much. He bursts out laughing.]

Katherine: “A wedding ring. Well, let’s look at engagement rings first. I’m assuming you’ve yet to pop the question?”

[Bond wipes a tear from his eye.]

Bond: “Yes, I’m sorry. I haven’t asked her yet, so a wedding ring would be a bit premature. However, I’m looking for something simple, yet tasteful. Money isn’t really an option, it really just has to say ‘Paige.’ Know what I mean?”

[Katherine really just smiles and nods.]

Bond: “I’m looking for silver, maybe a diamond, maybe a stone. Sapphire perhaps?”

[Katherine leads them over to a counter, Jacobs just glaring, and Bond chuckling to himself.]

Katherine: “Well, I see you want something classic, elegant, and timeless. Here’s what we have.”

[Bond takes a glance at them all. Nothing really steps up and says ‘Pick me! I’m the one! Hey, jackass… over here!’ So he looks around.]

Jacobs: “Hey mano, take a look at this one.”

[Bond walks over to where Jacobs is pointing. Katherine has by now moved onto her next client.]

Jacobs: “What do ya think? I think it’s a really nice rang.”

Bond: “It is a nice RING.”

Jacobs: “Don’t you start that now.”

[Jacobs shakes his head and rolls his eyes.]

Jacobs: “How confident are you feeling?”

Bond: “Oh, I’m pretty sure I know what I’m going to say to her… I’m just nervous to see if she’ll say yes.”

[Jacobs looks at him.]

Jacobs: “No, I meant about facing the World Champ.”

Bond: “Well, that’s been weighing on me all week.. but suddenly, it feels as though that weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Almost, like, well… like he won’t be showing up at all this week.”

[Jacobs’ jaw drops.]

Jacobs: “Surely you cain’t be serious. I mean, he’ll still show up right? Not like he’s ducking and running after last week’s Countdown to Violence fiasco.”

Bond: “You mean the kidnapping? Yeah... that was pretty lame-o. I can’t believe T-Bag had a part in it. But no, I’m just meaning I’m confident. I’ve got no fear. Either I’ll win, or I’ll lose. If I win, hey, I beat the current World Champion. If I lose, I mean, Pysko Stevo lost him, so it’s not too bad. All in all, I’m not scared. But I’m not sure about Travis Williams or Stevo interfering in the match. Ya know?”

[Jacobs shakes his head in an agreeing manner.]

Jacobs: “Yeah, I understand completely. Williams is out for blood, and lately, Stevo’s a real jerk. Talkin’ about spreadin’ the message and all. Well, I’ve got news for him, there’s only one message, and that’s the Lord’s will. And we all know where to find the true message. The good book.”

Bond: “Yeah, the Bibble.”

Jacobs: “Bible.”

Bond: “Bibble.”

Jacobs: “Bye-BULL.”

Bond: “I know mano, I’m just screwin’ with ya! Hahaha. Where is that hibachi? I’ve found it. This is the one.”

Jacobs: “That one?”

Bond: “Yeah, that’s it. This is the ring.”

[Katherine comes over and unlocks the cabinet. She pulls out a gorgeous silver-slash-platinum colored ring. The stone cut in the center was a dark blue sapphire. Running in an “s” shape under and alongside the sapphire were small tiny diamonds. Very tasteful, very pretty. She hands it to Bond.]

Katherine: “Was this the one you were referencing… Mister?”

[Jacobs looks to Bond.]

Bond: “Bond, Chris Bond.”

[Jacobs just starts cracking up laughing.]

Bond: “Please excuse my friend here, he’s a little crazy. Yeah. That’s the one. That’s the ring I’ll be asking Paige to marry me with.”

[Bond begins to pull his wallet out of his back pocket as the shot begins panning out from the centered view. Jacobs stands behind Bond, as one the single most important moments of his life is about to begin. The scene slowly fades to white.]
