-------  08.29.06  Entertainment



I: Monday, August 28, 2006, Berlin, Germany

I can hardly even keep my eyes open.

Here we are in Berlin, not even a day after the events of last night's Outrage.

My body is wounded, my emotions are running high, but my body is drained.

She insisted.

We hadn't gone out enough.

She insisted.

Such is the curse of the Lancaster marriage - quote unquote.  What she says, obviously, goes.

One might think this is the way of most marriages.  This one takes this principal - the woman is the "boss" - and amplifies it to near infinite.

Surely: what she wants, she gets.

And tonight? She wants to dance.

But dancing in just mere London wouldn't suffice.

Her evening's entertainment requires a drive to Heathrow, using the Lear Jet - at a cost of tens of thousands of pounds per use - to fly into Berlin, and immediately hit the hottest club to quench her thirst for thrills.

"ROBERT."

*SMACK*

"OW...MY HEAD."

"WAKE UP."

He rubs the crown of his head where her hand had just made its mark.  And where the chair of one Jefferson "Asshole Supreme" Andrews had made its mark as well.  Sadly, the chair left a more lasting impression than her hand.

"I GOT HIT ON THE GODDAMN HEAD WITH A CHAIR."

"So? You were falling asleep."

"HAVE YOU EVER BEEN HIT WITH A CHAIR?"

She merely casts an eye at him.

"WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE HIT ON THE HEAD WITH A CHAIR?"

"Stop your bitching, we're almost here!" she declares excitedly.

Their stretch black limousine goes through the still somewhat heavy downtown Berlin traffic, as rain lightly falls outside.

Most days you'd find Lancaster behind the wheel of his Jag, even out-of-country, but tonight, he insisted on being chauffeured.  He only wished he could be further chauffeured inside the door and to their table.

"Yessss we're here. I've been dying to go here for years.  Come on babe."

She grabs him by his tailored clubbing apparel - not that he really had any, just some nice, casual dressy stuff - as the limo driver opens the door.

Lancaster stumbles dazed as Marissah hurries blithely.  They approach the bouncer who apparently has anticipated their arrival, and allows them past the line of onlookers who jealously watch them enter uninhibited.

KitKatClub is no average club.  Wikipedia declares: The KitKatClub is famous all over Europe and even beyond because of its unique concept mixing very good techno / trance music to decadent, bacchanalian, sexually uninhibited parties.


The music is of course at near deafening pitch.  Sordid individuals from all across the social and economic specter are here: doctors, lawyers, youth, the unemployed.  They are here for one reason, and one reason only: to embrace depravity.

By the Grace of God Her Grace The Duchess of Wessex scrambles past various "patrons" and still dragging her obliquely leaning husband, approaches the bar.  She prods her husband as the liquor dispenser approaches them with a smile.

"Hallo, guter Abend."

"Tell him I want a screwdriver with extra vodka."

He nods his head complacently.

"Schraubenzieher, doppelter Wodka."

"Und für dich?"

"Ein Heineken gefallen."

A Heineken was all he could stomach as he strives to find his own mind in this cloud of music and debauchery.  He glanced over across the room and saw a couple engaging in open intercourse - yes, they actually do it at the KitKatClub.  Others rhythmically dance topless, some wearing latex.

The Heineken and screwdriver come quickly as he grasps the bottle, and takes a long drag on the brew.  Marissah giggles and downs hers in moments, and then gives out a loud "Mmmmm."

"Ooh look at herrr..."

She points out non-chalantly to some large chested woman making out with some skinhead with ripped abs in a far off corner.

"I'm going over there.  She's fucking hot."

Her high heels go twisting into the distance as Robert braces himself on the bar.

A hand on his shoulder catches his attention.

Given the number of homosexuals present in the bar, he hopes for the best that it would be another large breasted woman.

To no avail.

"FABULOUS to see you."

Is he gay?

No.

He's fabulous.  Jeremy Fabulous.

"Oh shit."

Lancaster turns around to see his long lost friend, still looking fit as can be.

The two men shake hands firmly.

"Rob you look like shit."

"Look like shit?  You should see what I married."

Fabulous laughs loudly.

"What the hell's happened to your hair?  To your body?  Look at you, you're ripped!"

It's been a while, let's just say.

"I'm insulted that you've not been following my career."

"Hey," he shrugs, "I'm a busy man.  Mr. Klein [Calvin Klein, his employer] is a hard master to work for.  I have to model his shit all over the world you know.  But what's going on with you!  You must be wrestling still."

He nods as much as his injuries will allow him.

"I am.  I'm a champion."

"Champion?" he inquires, impressed.

"The champion.  Of a league called Old Line Wrestling."

He furrows his eyes.  "What the fuck kind of name is that?"

He has no answers, he doesn't care.

"I compete with the best in the world - minus a few sons of bitches, but still, they're quite good chaps."

"And whom do you compete as?"

"Avarice."

"Avarice?"

"Destroyer of Worlds," he adds.

"Where'd you come up with that?"

"It's who I am."

"Not Goodlife?"

He frowns.

"Rob?"

"..No."

"Come on Goodlife lighten up.  Look at where you are my man!"

Fabulous puts an arm around his shoulder - this might not bode well given how many how shall one say - prowlers - are about, and points out some of the finer women prancing about to the entrancing techno music.

"You're here in a place where nothing matters.  Not wrestling.  Not your little title.  Not life.  Just - pleasure."

"My career matters very much to me."

"Pshhh."

The two men walk around the club where various couples engage in - various things.

"The shit that goes on here would land most people in jail back in the States, but not here.  There's no rules."

Jeremy gestures towards one of the table areas, as they move past people grinding and moving their bodies to the spirit of the music.

Two women make out voraciously as the man next to them does a line of cocaine.

"Just check that out...shittt."

Lancaster heaves a heavy sigh.

"Jeremy, may I introduce my wife."

The two women notice the gawkers; Marissah giggles as she wipes the smudged lipstick from her lips.

"Who's that babe?"

"Mr. Jeremy Fabulous, an old cohort, my wife - Her Grace - allegedly - the Duchess of Wessex, Marissah Lancaster."

"Fuck you." She turns to Jeremy, and eyes him over once.  "It's a pleasure.  I've heard a lot about you in the past.  You should come visit me...

Lancaster notices her choice of words: visit me, not us.

...in New York sometime."

"Mm, hey, I'd love to."  Fabulous leans over and kisses her cheek - a bit too close to her lips.

Robert fumes.

"Jeremy, shall we..."

"Oh no no, I'd like to get acquainted with this lovely lady of yours."

Jeremy leaves the side of his friend and shoos off the other man, who gladly departs, now off in his own little world, leaving a few lines of cocaine unsnorted.

"Babe, can you go over to the DJ and ask if they can play a song for me?"

She leans over and whispers its title in his ear.

He's never even heard of the song.

"I don't even know where the DJ is."

"Oh it's easy Rob, he's over there."

Fabulous points so vaguely towards the throng of people he might as well given a blind man directions.

"Oh and get me another drink while you're up will you?"

His exhaustion is replaced by unmitigated rage. 

"I'll take a Smirnoff too Goodlife, thanks!"

The model and the wife laugh uproariously as Robert departs, off to find this DJ.

Marissah notices what's been left behind and reaches into her purse and pulls out a crisp 500 euro note, and rolls it up promptly to dive in.  Three lines vanish in seconds.

"Shit baby you better not hit that stuff too hard."

"Don't worry babe, this shit's nothing now.  Just...keep me distracted."

He feels a hand grope.  Fabulous, never one to hold back, reciprocates by sliding a hand up her skirt.

"That'll be my pleasure.  And yours too."

The two lock eyes and grin lustfully.

Meanwhile, Robert finally located the DJ, after asking the nice young lady in the leather cupless bra for directions.

"Hërr DJ..."

Doesn't everything in German sound sinister?

He leans over and yells into his ear the song and the band its by.

The DJ laughs and nods his head, holding up a finger to indicate, "Just a minute."

Lancaster departs to find the bar and does so.  He orders the two spawns of Hell their drinks, and a large scotch for himself.  His hands full, he begins his attempt to find their table amongst the crowd.

Silence for a moment.

Then a very distinct sound begins.

Now he knows what song she requested.

She requested that song?

It has to be one of the stupidest ever recorded by man.

But this does not deter the revelers, many of whom begin to chuckle and move to the new beats.

#Chica chica...#
#Oooh yeahh...#
#Ooooh yeahhhh...#

Thank you mother fucking Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Minutes later he is back at the table, Jeremy fawning over both women.  He playfully kisses Marissah's neck.

His eyes widen.  He approaches the table and smiles.

Jeremy sounds off.  "Heyy Goodlife, your wife was telling me about losing your first match as the champion.  OUCH man!  That had to hurt."

Lancaster downs his scotch.

Lancaster downs Jeremy's Smirnoff Ice.

"Heyy my drink bud."

Lancaster removes the bottle from his lips and amongst the strobing lights, the horrible beats of Yello's Oh Yeah, smashes the bottle over Jeremy's head, with fabulous aim.

Marissah and the big titted girl shriek as blood trickles from his forehead.  With impeccable aim, he hauls Jeremy up by the lapels and hooks his arm around his neck.  "Destroyer of Worlds" through the table.

Nobody notices.  Nobody cares.  Jeremy lays unconscious on the floor.

Marissah screams.

"HAVE YOU LOST YOUR FUCKING MIND!?"

Lancaster regrets his action only for the pain it has caused him  He grabs his wife and picks her up onto his back. She kicks and screams expletives. 

Out into the raining streets of Berlin.  He grabs the door to their limo, which has parked only a little down the street, and sets her down.

"Robert, you fucking RUINED MY EVENING."

He stays silent.  The rest of the ride to their posh Berlin hotel is filled with her ranting and raving.

Back in their hotel room, her tirade has not ended.

She lights a cigarette, and hits the hotel room bar immediately.

The few little bottles of vodka and rye disappear.

"Shit I need a hit..."

Lancaster just sits on the edge of their bed.  Unable to say anything.

He is dazed and delayed as he sees her collapse to the ground.

In a heap.

She just collapses.

The cocaine has done its dirty work.

He is stunned...it wears off as he picks up the phone near the bed and dials 112.

Minutes later she is on the way to the emergency room for cocaine overdose.

Her evening's entertainment truly ruined.
