[A car pulls into the parking lot of a local rock club.  The car drives around the lot for a moment before pulling into a parking spot.  Then the parking lot door opens.  Nic Totopoulous steps out of the door and into the parking lot.  He is wearing a leather shirt, leather pants and leather boots.  His hair is down, and he looks ready to party.  Then Joe opens his door and he steps out of the car.  He is wearing a casual shirt, a pair of dark blue jeans and black leather boots.  He and Nic meet at the front of the car and continue to walk toward the entrance.  There is a line on the outside to get in.  Totopoulous and Joe walk to the front of the line.  There are two big men standing by the door.]

Man #1 - You're going to have to wait at the end of the line.

Man #2 - Ya, sorry but it's pretty full.

Totopoulous - But I am Nic Totopoulous of TNT Wrestlingg.

Oh man!  I didn't even recognize you.  Well, we always have space for you in here.

And my friend too?

Of course.  Anything for a celebrity such as yourself.

Well that's what I like to hear.

[The bouncer opens the door for Totopoulous and Joe, and they proceed to walk through the door into the club.  They both take a few steps in, and then take a look around.  There are nearly one hundred people either on the floor, at the bar, or sitting at a table talking.  Five Magics by Megadeth is playing over the speakers.  They look at each other.]

Now this is what I'm talking about.  Look out there, this club is your oister man.  You've just got to go out there and take what you want.  This is your chance to get back to being your old self man.  If you can have a good time tonight and loosen up a little bit, then you'll be set, you won't have anything to worry about.

I just don't want to be hung over for tomorrow.

Oh please man.  You'll be fine, you'll have a good time.  Just relax a little.

[Joe stands behind him and begins to rub his shoulders.]

You're so tight, loosen up man.  This is the night of a rebirth brother.  In this mass of people, you will find the old Nic Totopoulous.  You will find the man that didn't care about anything or anyone.  Believe me, after a few drinks, you will feel much better.

About those drinks...

What?

Well...

Are you trying to tell me you were going to go through the night without drinking?  What the hell's the matter with you man?  Are you crazy?  You won't find yourself unless you're in a drunken stuper.

Maybe you're right.

Of course I am.  Let's take a walk over to the bar.

[Joe puts his arm around Totopoulous' shoulder and guides him in the direction of the bar.]

Two hours later...

[Nic Totopoulous is sitting alone at the bar.  He has a tequila shot in front of him.  He downs the shot, then sucks on a lemon.  Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden is playing over the speakers.  Then Joe walks over to him and sits on the stool next to him.]

What the hell's the matter with you?  You haven't moved since we got here.  You're all liquored up, now get out there and have a good time.

I think you're right, let's go.

[Nic Totopoulous gets up off his stool and walks over to the floor with Joe.  They look around for a moment and find two girls dancing on their own.  One of them with long blonde hair, and the other with her hair tied back with brown hair.  Joe and Totopoulous look at each other, then walk over to them.  They each walk up to one of them and start dancing.]

Girl #1 - What are you guys doing?

What do you mean?  We're dancing.

Girl #2 - Listen, you guys aren't our type.

What's that supposed to mean?  I've never known myself to not be someone's type.  Come on baby, let's do some dancing.

I don't think so.  Like I said, you aren't my type.

[Then the girls get in close to each other, they give a tight hug, and one with the brown hair licks the blonde haired girls neck.]

Oh!  So that's how it's gonna be.  I've got an idea, how about the three of us go back to my place.

Like I said, you aren't our type, and I think we've made is pretty obvious.

Yes you have, but I won't get involved.

We like our privacy.

Fine, have it your way.

[Then Totopoulous and Joe take a few steps away from the two girls.]

Well there you go.  It wasn't vintage Totopouli in action, but it wasn't as bad as before man.  I still think you can do better than that.

Maybe man.  It felt pretty good.  I know it wasn't my best work, but I'm still warming up.

Now you're coming around!

[The two of them walk back into the midst of the group and start dancing again.]
 

 

One hour later...

[Nic Totopoulous is seen dancing still, but Joe doesn't seem to be anywhere in sight.  Subhuman Race by Skid Row is blasting through the speakers.  Totopoulous continues to dance amongst the group of people.
 

 

Then he dances his way over to a couple of good looking girls.  One with black hair and blonde streaks, the other a blonde.  He begins to dance with them.]

Hey!  How are you two fine ladies doing tonight.

1st Girl - We're doing pretty good, but we don't have anyone to dance with.

Well that's what I'm here for.

[The three of them continue to dance and to chat.]

So ladies, what do have planned for later on tonight?

Well, I don't know yet.  Hopefully something will come up.

[Then the girls winks at Totopoulous, and the other gives him a very seductive smile.]

Hey, how about we end this night a little early?

That sounds like a good idea to me.

[The scene shifts over to Joe who is sitting at the bar having a beer.  He is having a conversation with the bar tender.]

You know, it's gotta be tough on Nic.  He was the World Champion for five months, and people expect him to be perfect.  He isn't perfect, no one is.  He isn't even close to perfect.  Sure he's a great wrestler, but he has had his problems in the past.  He's a strong person, and he should be able to handle this situation.  He's been through worse situations before.

Bartender - Speaking of situations Nic's been in, look behind you.

[Joe turns his head to look around.  He finds the two girls Nic was dancing with holding on tight to two big guys.  They are having a bit of an argument.  Joe quickly gets out of his seat and makes his way over to the situation.]

What's the problem here boys?

Big guy 1 - This guy has a big mouth, that's the problem.

Big guy 2 - And he's hitting on my woman.

I'm sure we can come to some sort of, non-physical resolution here boys.

I don't think we can.

[One of the guys takes a swing at Nic.  Nic ducks, grabs his arm and gets him in a hamerlock.  The other man charges Nic, but Nic kicks him in the stomach.  Nic picks up the first guy and slams him onto the corner of a chair.  Joe throws a punch and hits the second guy in the face.  The second guy just gets angry and windes up to his Joe.  Joe ducks, and Nic clotheslines him over and across a table.  The first guy gets up and takes a swing at Nic and nails him.  Then Joe takes out the guy's knees.  Nic kicks him hard in the face knocking him out cold.  The second guy gets up and charges Nic.  Nic ducks and flips the second guy over his back and into a wall.  He is knocked out cold.]

Well how do you feel?

A lot better.

Like the old Nic?

No, but better than before.

Good.

Ya know what, we had better get out of here.

That's a good idea.

[Both Joe and Totopoulous walk to the exit and out the door.  They quickly walk over to Joe's car and gets in.  Joe starts the engine, and they get out of there really quickly.  The scene fades to black.]
