Oh fuck me, Rich, this is a shit show, ain't it? Just... gimme a sec, yeah?
takes a deep breath Alright, here's the deal. We need some cash, and I know you've got it.
yeah but why do you need it
Look, Rich, I hate to bug you, but we're in deep shit here. You remember Jess, right? She's pregnant and about to give birth any day now.
So, here's the deal. We need some cash to cover our living expenses while Jess is on maternity leave.
yall don't have a job or something?
rolls her eyes Of course we have jobs, you dumbass. But it's not enough, okay? We're talking about rent, food, diapers...
snaps her fingers Look, Rich, I get that life's a bitch sometimes, but we're doing our best here.
pulls out a crumpled piece of paper from her pocket Alright, check this out. We need... let's see... $15,000 dollars for the next three months.
grins mischievously Well, lucky for you, I've got a proposition. See, I've got this sick idea for an underground fight club.
leans in closer, voice full of excitement Hell yeah, it's gonna be legit! We'll have fighters, spectators, the whole shebang!
but that sounds expensive
Expensive? Please, I've got it all figured out. We'll start small, with just a few fighters and minimal overhead.
okay but how will you run the place?
Samantha and FireworkHarmony start arguing about the logistics of running the underground fight club, their voices rising and falling in intensity.
so how am i the owner of this business?
waves her hand dismissively Oh, please, you're not cut out for the business scene, Rich. I'm the brains of this operation.
really? i created you so why am i not cut out for business?
rolls her eyes dramatically Yeah, yeah, you created me, big shot. But let's be real, you're no businessman.
i can learn it if i need to i've read books about business
smirks Well, ain't you Mr. Enthusiastic. Alright, Mr. Bookworm, here's what we'll do.
starts pacing back and forth, talking rapidly Alright, so we need a kick-ass name for this fight club. How about... "Mayhem Underground"?
mayhem? what kind of name is that?
stops pacing, looks at FireworkHarmony incredulously Are you fucking kidding me? Mayhem is perfect! It's edgy, it's cool, it's...
mayem? you think that sounds cool?
snorts Trust me, Rich, Mayhem Underground is gonna be the coolest damn fight club in town.
claps her hands together Alright, now that we've got our badass name, let's move on to the fun part – the fights!
