Do you think it’s easy being the King?
Do you feel that my job as the husband to Kelly Fox is a walk int he park?
You keep acting like that I’m living the easy life, struttin that ass, as the top of the pecking order in NCW, acting like that I’m growing fat on power and just throwing my power around to get what I want... you couldn’t possibly be any more wrong, you couldn’t possibly to be farther from the truth. Being the king of NCW is a burden that I bear so others don’t have to. Being the King of NCW is a challenge each and every day. You know what it feels like to constantly be the bullseye for everybody’s hate and jealousy? Of course you don’t, you’ve never had to see every person in the back’s eyes squarely set on you, you’ve never had to see them glare at you, wanting your head. You’ve never had to listen to ever single person you know talk about how they want to be the one that rips you from your throne.
So many people have, over the years, acted like they wanted to be the next King, acted like their sole reason for facing me was so they could ascend to my throne and I can’t help but laugh at them as they have no idea what it takes to be here, what it feels like to be sitting there looking down at all the fools trying to storm your castle. Are they ready for that burden? Are they prepared to see everybody they know suddenly hate them, suddenly wanting to dethrone them so they could then take their spot? I wonder if they really knows what that is, what it’s like to be turned completely upside down like that...and now... here you are. A person I considered a friend, a person who once came to my rescue in my darkest hour... and now here you are. With your fat little finger pointing at me as if I was the worst person alive. Just like the rest, just like everybody else.
I thought you might be different Xavier.
I thought you might be standing up for a purpose.
I thought you might actually have a goal in mind.
How foolish I was to believe you would be any different... I don’t know what I was thinking, maybe I saw something in you, maybe I believed you weren’t like the rest. But now I see how wrong I was. You have nothing. You have no goal, you have no driving force, you’re just throwing **** against the wall and hoping it sticks. you just see me living happy, you see my perfect life and wish it was yours. There is nothing that you care about, there is nothing that pushes you to overthrow me, there is just nothing there except you running off at the mouth with no real reason.
Come on Xavier. Tell me what I’ve done. Tell me why I’m so terrible. Because I’ve beaten everybody I’ve faced fair and square. I’ve tackled every challenge head on. Where have I been the bad guy? Because I wanted to trash JackHammer for getting involved in my business? Where I put Trent Helms down... after he was the one who came out and challenged me, chased me just because I was able to make him tap out. Is it because I’m simply married to the owner of this company? How is that wrong? I’ll tell you how it is... because you looked at the situation and put your own spin on it, you put your own view and came to your own conclusions without seeing the whole story.
See, I thought you wouldn’t be “that guy” I thought you would use your brain, but no. Instead you fell into the same trap as everybody else, the same traps that every other Joe Everyman-eque fool would have came to. You turned out to be nothing more than every single other person that came rushing into a situation without thinking. You’re a fool, a moron, an idiot, an incompetent wanker without the ability of coming to their own moral conclusions but instead bah with the rest of the sheep just because you thought it would make you look cool and more important than you actually are.
You’re just another face in the crowd Xavier.
I thought you could be more.
I thought you were better than that.
But you proved me wrong... and I won’t make that mistake again.
You’re just like the rest. You’re just another jester wanting my crown.
and just like them... you’re going to fall at my hands.
[Adam stands in front of a door at the NCW Headquarters in Dallas, Texas. His wife and owner of NCW stands next to him as he glares at the door smiling. He turns to Kelly and nods his head in approval and she instantly smiles back.]
Kelly: So I take it you approve.
[The camera pans around and sees the name “Adam Knite” printed across the door that they are currently standing in front of. Adam reaches out and touches the name plate, gently tracing the letters with his index finger.]
Adam: Yes... my own office, so... are you sure about this?
Kelly: what? You having second thoughts? You’re the one who said you wanted this. More power, a partnership?
Adam: No. I’m just making sure that you’re ok with it. I mean I know it’s not easy on you to give up some of your power and to accept...
[Kelly puts her index finger over Adam’s lips stopping him right there before he can finish that thought. She smiles at her husband as he looks down at her confused.]
Kelly: We’re in this together. This is the way it was always meant to be. When father retired we were to be in control of NCW. This is what he had planned, and this is what I want. You by my side.
Adam: Then I’ll make sure to do my best... I won’t disappoint.
Kelly: Well then, I guess it’s official... you really are the “King” now. Mr. Co-owner.
[Kelly smiles devilishly at her husband who turns to look at her with a coy grin on his face himself. He turns his head to the side and it’s obvious what’s coming next, a little sucking up.]
Adam: You know what the best part is... having such a beautiful queen at my side.
[The married couple get closer to each other, putting their hands on the other’s hips as they glare lovingly into each other’s eyes, smiling after Adam’s comment.]
Sydney: **gagging**
[Adam and Kelly both spin their heads around to see Adam’s masked sister standing there slumped over looking like she’s choking and gagging on the cheesiness of the moment. When she notices them and realized she did this out loud, she shoots back up and pretends like nothing happened. Even shrugging her shoulders innocently.]
Adam: Any way.... can I fire somebody?
Kelly: Why?
Adam: I don’t know. I just want to throw some power around. So how about it?
Kelly: Alright, but who do you have in mind?
Adam: hmm...
[We fade out briefly, but are quickly whisked back in. We see Adam sitting behind his new fancy desk inside his office with Kelly and his sister standing behind him looking annoyed. Standing in front of his desk is Jimmy Turner.]
Jimmy Turner: What’s going on?
Adam: Jimmy, we’ve been discussing it and well... you’re a fat piece of crap who offers very little to this company outside of the terrible jokes made about the stuff we can find buried in your lard rolls. You’re a pimple on societies ass, you’re fungus rotting on a old person’s foot, you’re worthless, and you it makes me physically ill just to look at you.
Jimmy Turner: What are you trying to say Adam?’
Adam: Mr. Knite.
Jimmy Turner: I’m sorry. What are you trying to say Mr. Knite?
Adam: Well Jimmy... YOU’RE FIRED!
[Adam leans over the desk and screams the words right in Jimmy Turner’s face who is so shocked that the chair he’s leaning back in falls over and he tumbles, rolls, and flops around ilke a walrus on the floor. He finally pulls himself back up and tears begin to form in his eyes and roll down his fat face as Adam and Kelly just laugh at him floundering around trying to get back up.]
Jimmy Turner: But...
Adam: Go before I call security.
[Jimmy lowers his head and heads towards the door, He turns back and looks at them with his big sad eyes but Adam just continues to point at the door until he walks out.]
Adam: Oh man that was great! A gal could get used to this.
[Adam turns over his shoulder to see Sydney glaring at him unamused with her arms crossed in front of her.]
Adam: Oh come on... tell me that wasn’t awesome, I dare you.
Kelly: Yeah but now we need a new janitor.
Adam: I’ll handle it.
[We fade out and fade back in to see Jimmy Turner again sitting in front of Adam’s desk, looking at the NCW power couple confused and still with tears rolling down his face.]
Adam: Jimmy, as you know we recently had an opening in our Custodial department. Seeing as you have a ton of experiance in the field... we’d like to extend to you an official offer to become our new head custodian.
Jimmy Turner: Really!? Thank you!
Adam: Just sign here on this contract...
[Adam slides over the piece of paper.]
Jimmy Turner: Wait... this is half of what I was making here before.
Adam: Take it or leave it... we could always call Shaun Mauldin, I here he comes pretty highly recommended.
Jimmy Turner: Fine.
[Turner quickly signs the contrat, stands up and storms away out the door.]
Adam: And problem solved...
[Adam turns to look at his sister.]
Adam: you happy now?
[She rolls her eyes up and at him and refuses to look in his direction. Adam just shrugs and then turns to his wife who has a different reaction completely. She smiles at him and he does so right back.]
Adam: So how did I do?
Kelly: You were amazing... as always.
Adam: Oh. I can tell I’m going to love this... it’s good to be the King.
[Fade to black as Kelly and Adam lean in to each other and embrace in a kiss.]
