[Nic Totopoulous is seen sitting in his wheelchair in his home in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. Snow can be seen through the window outside on his front lawn. His driveway is shoveled and the road in front of his house has been ploughed, but still has a large amount of salt spread across the street. Totopoulous is wheeling through the kitchen and into the living room of his house. Sitting on the couch watching television is a beautiful brunette. He turns her head, looks up at Totopoulous and smiles. Totopoulous rolls to the side of the couch that she is sitting on and sits next to her.]
Woman - Hey honey, I didn't hear you come in. Did you come in the back door?
Totopoulous - Hey sweetcheeks. Ya, the pathway up the front was pretty icy, I didn't want to slide into a snow bank. Ha! Ha! That could have been trouble.
Ya, it could have. I know what you were up to last night. I know you told me you were going out, and that it was going to be a big surprise, and it certainly was.
Well, I've just been away from it for so long, I want to help out TNT Wrestling again. I wanted to go to the show and talk to Marcel. I haven't seen him in so long. He's always so wrapped up in his work, I never get the chance to talk to him anymore. We've been through so much in the past, and I want to go through so much again in the future. I think I have something to offer TNT, and I want to give it.
I don't know if I like you going back to wrestling. The long trips on the road. I mean I know I don't know what it was all about, but I from what I hear it is just awful. You'll be gone all of the time, and I don't want that Nic. I just want you at home. I want you to get a normal job. You said you always wanted to be a teacher, why not do something like that? You went to University, you went to teachers college. Why not do something like that?
Miranda, you know I love kids, and you know I love to teach. I have so much time left in my life, I can do that at any time. TNT Wrestling won't always be there for me. TNT Wrestling is where I got my first real break in the industry. I have them to thank a thousand times over for where I am right now. I have this wonderful house, I have so much money, I have a great car, and I have you. I have a great life, and I wouldn't change it for anything.
[Totopoulous puts his hand on Miranda's and looks deep into her eyes.]
You know I love you will all my heart Miranda, and I wouldn't do anything that would upset. This is just so important to me. I had a long talk after the show on Sunday with Marcel, and we've come up with something that will benefit the wrestlers, TNT Wrestling, and myself. I'll be able to help out some of the young guys on the roster backstage with so many aspects of wrestling, and I'll be able to appear on TV as well. That is something I have missed so much. I have missed going down to the ring with the crowd cheering, with a sell-out crowd standing on their feet cheering for me. The deafening roar of the crowd as they chant my name. That is something I don't know if I can live without. I'm an adrenaline junkie, and that is the greatest adrenaline boost for me. I can't wait to go down to the ring again, and I can't wait to see all of those thousands of happy faces selling out a TNT Wrestling event once again. This is something I just have to do, and it's something I hope that you will be happy with.
I know this is important to you Nic. I just hope that I can live with it. I'm not going to stop you from living out your dream. I can tell that you love the rush, you love the crowd, and you want to help.
I can help. I can help teach the younger talent the ropes, and be the teacher I wanted to be. I don't expect you to understand. You've only known a normal life, and the life of a professional wrestler is far from normal. I just hope you can embrace this lifestyle with me. You can come on the road with me. We can travel all across North America, and maybe even the world together.
You know I can't do that. You know I've got my life here. I've got my job and everything. I can't just get up and leave it all every week to go on the road with you.
I know, wishful thinking I guess. But I won't be gone as much as if I was wrestling. I won't be wrestling, and I'll only have to make the TV and Pay Per View appearances. There will be other days when I'll have to go obviously during the week, but the majority of my time will be spent at home with you. I'll be able to work most of the time from home. You'll see that the schedule won't be as bad as you think. It obviously won't be a good as it is right now, with me not doing anything, but it won't be that bad, I promise.
Well you haven't done me wrong before. I trust you Nic. I trust you're making the right decision. I just want you to be happy.
I just want the same for you Miranda. If you really don't want me to do it, I won't. You are my number one priority, and I'll do anything to keep you happy.
Don't be silly. Go and have fun. If you say you'll be home most of the week, then I can live with that.
Thank you. I promise that if you ever want me to back out I will in an instant. You know I've made friends with a number of my high school teachers, and you know I can get in whenever I need to.
I know, but have fun.
I will. Thank you.
[Totopoulous leans in and gives Miranda another kiss.]
You're welcome. But you aren't working right now. Want to go out?
Go out where? I just got home sweetie, I don't know.
Come on. Let's make the most of our time together. We'll go get some dinner, and you can tell me all about what you'll be doing.
I'll tell you as much as I can. I'm revealing it all on Sunday at the Pay Per View.
You know I can keep a secret.
I know. I'll decide on the way there. The problem is I don't know if I can keep if from you even if I wanted to. I have trouble keeping anything from you.
I know, and that's what I'm banking on.
Ha! Ha! Let's go. I'll get your coat.
[Totopoulous turns and rolls out of the room. Miranda turns off the television, gets up and follows him out of the room. The scene fades as the two chat about where they are going to go out to dinner.]
