As the camera comes into focus we hear a familiar voice as well as two unfamiliar voices.
????: The doctor said he'd be awake by now dad what's wrong?
Dad: Nothing is wrong Alex if you would calm down and breath you would see your l is waking up.
At hearing the name Alex the man we know as Milenko visibly flinches in his bed which causes Alex to exclaim with excitement.
Alex: He moved dad did you see that?
Dad: i saw that Alex now run and go get the doctor.
As he slowly opens his eyes Milenko hears the sound of feet rushing out of the room. As he fully opens his eyes he looks around the room at 3 people. He glares at them but all they do is look relieved.
Dr.: Hello Cory, how are you feeling today?
For a few seconds Milenko stares at the Dr. like he's seen him somewhere before when all ofca sudden it comes to him.
Milenko: Has anyone ever told you that you look exactly like Stephen Kurtesy? I mean you could pass for his twin.
Dr.: That's a name you've not mentioned before. Who is this Stephen Kurtesy?
Milenko looks at the Dr. like he's crazy before shaking his head and answering his question.
Milenko: He's a shrink turned pro wrestler. Won the tag titles twice, was the best part of an awful stable, eventually won the World title and was put in the Hall of Fame. How can you not know of one of the best pro wrestlers of all time?
Instead of letting the Doctor talk Alex buts in and starts talking
Alex: What the fuck are you talking about Cory? How would you know any pro wrestlers let alone one of the best in the world?
As his brother talks Milenko gets more and more agitated until he's almost frothing at the mouth in anger and talking in a slow even voice in order to try and keep in temper in check.
Milenko: Why are you 2 even here Alex? I haven't heard a single word from you in at least six years and you dad, I'm surprised you were able to stay sober long enough to stand upright.
Witnessing all of this the doctor motions for the 2 men to follow him out into the hallway so he can talk to them in private.
Dr.: It's clear he's still suffering from his schizophrenic delusions. I still don't know why he hates you two so if you want to go to the waiting room and i'll be out in a little bit.
The doctor walks back in after that and starts scribbling in a little notepad He pulled out of the breast pocket of his vest.
Dr.: What was that all about Cory? I know for a fact your family is very worried about you.
Hearing that Milenko laughs in the doctor's face.
Milenko: You're joking right? I'm surprised that abusive drunk isn't head first in a bottle of Wild Turkey screaming at everyone within earshot while Alex runs away and hides from it, leaving me to take 99% of the abuse.
Instead of answering the doctor is scribbling in his notebook.
Dr.: Ok Cory, if you don't want to go with your family where do you want to go?
Milenko: I want to go to the WZCW Goodbye Show. I've been a part of that company in some way for 12 years and i'll be damned if I'm going to miss the last show ever.
Dr.: What will you be doing at this show?
Milenko: I'll be fighting for both the world and Elite X Championships. They were the only titles around when i started & they're the ones i want to go for one last time.
Instead of answering the doctor just scribbles in his notebook and excuses himself from the room. He walks down the hallway and into the waiting room where he motions for Alex & his father to follow him into the nearest consultation room where he cuts to the chase.
Dr.: Cory is still mired in his delusion that he's a professional wrestler. He says the company he works for, WZCW, is closing and he is going to be on their final show and hopefully win the World or Elite-X championship.
Alex: what the fuck? Why would he think that?
His father smacks him in the arm and tells him to shut up but the doctor answers him anyway.
Dr.: until he feels like telling us himself all we can do is guess. What i know for certain however is that not only is Cory seems to be slipping further into his delusion instead of getting better like we thought.
Dad: He is? How can you tell?
Dr.: By the fact he's adding in people from his life. You hears what he said, you're an abusive drunk, his brother doesn't care about him and I'm a former wrestler that used to work with him.
Dejected Alex and his father stare into space until his father says something.
Dad: What should we do doctor? He was supposed to come home today.
Dr.: I'm sorry Mr. Bowen but he'll need to stay here in the hospital. I don't know what caused this sudden regression but maybe if this plays out and WZCW goes out of business he'll come out of it.
As the doctor continues to tall the camera slowly fades to black as the voices get softer & softer until everything goes silent and all we see is a black screen.
