*The scene opens with Scorpion lying flat against a wall like a super spy. Every few seconds he peers around the corner before ducking back to his original position. He repeats this pattern two more times before the co-Undisputed World Champion walks up to him.*
Jordan: "Are you scared of the hallway again?"
*Not expecting to be snuck up on, Scorpion screams and jumps up. He turns around and sees that it is "The Role Model" as he pants and catches his breath.*
Jordan: "You know I chased away the Hallway Monster for good. He will not be back. You have no reason to be afraid."
*Finally having caught his breath, Scorpion shakes his head and replies.*
Scorpion: "It's not Hall-lor. I just don't want to be seen."
Jordan: "With your looks, I understand, but this low self-esteem will do nothing for you."
*Scorpion just glares at Jordan before inches back to the corner and motioning for Jordan to follow him. Jordan and the camera follow him and look around the corner to see a brunette working at a table. All three fade back behind the corner.*
Scorpion: "See?"
Jordan: "See what? It is just Monica working."
Scorpion: "She's why I'm acting like this!"
*Jordan thinks about it for a second and snaps his fingers.*
Jordan: "Has she been messing with you? You want me to set her straight?"
Scorpion: "NO! Don't you get it, I like her!"
Jordan: "Ohhhhhhh!"
*"The Role Model" thinks for a second before walking around the corner and waving.*
Jordan: "Hey, Mon..."
*In a flash, Scorpion darts out, covers Jordan's mouth and drags him back behind the wall.*
Scorpion: "What were you doing?"
Jordan: "I was calling her over, so you could talk to her."
Scorpion: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
*Jordan chuckles at Scorpion's dramatic reply.*
Jordan: "Sorry, that was just funny."
Scorpion: "I'm happy where I am. Longing from a distance."
Jordan: "Yeah, because we all swoon for the romance when Romeo gets busted for stalking and Juliet issues the restraining order."
*Scorpion glares at Jordan.*
Voice: "Oh, so you read my Shakespeare rewrites?"
*Caught off-guard again, Scorpion screams and jumps into Jordan's arms. The co-Undisputed World Champion tosses him off-screen. The camera moves to see Ripper holding Scorpion. He sets the "Butt Man" down. Ripper looks Jordan up and down.*
Ripper: "Where's your belt, Champ? Getting ready for life after Disconnected?"
*Jordan crosses his arms and huffs.*
Jordan: "No! I just decided to let Khris Heaven carry it around."
Ripper: "Tell me the whole story. You know what I'll do to you, if you don't."
*Jordan tries to put up a strong front before sighing and looking down.*
Jordan: "I lost today to her in an arm-wrestling match."
*Jordan covers his face and looks away.*
Jordan: "Do not judge me!"
Ripper: "Too late!"
*Ripper looks at Scorpion.*
Ripper: "What's going on?"
Scorpion: "Pining for the lovely Monica."
*Scorpion motions to the hallway. Ripper walks over and takes a look, then returns.*
Ripper: "Go talk to her."
*Scorpion looks down.*
Scorpion: "I can't..."
Ripper: "Hmmmmm...how about you bring her a gift? I suggest a bloody and battered Anthony Jordan."
Jordan: "Hey, I am right here!"
Ripper: "Good, we're halfway there!"
*Jordan shakes his head.*
Jordan: "We are in peace times. We have a truce. You cannot just act brutish around me whenever."
Ripper: "I don't think I like your tone. Truce off!"
*Ripper punches Jordan in the chest. Jordan stumbles back and coughs.*
Ripper: "Truce on."
Jordan: "Truces...do not work like that."
*Jordan coughs again and stands back up.*
Jordan: "Besides, we should work together to aid Scorpion."
Ripper: "Fine."
*Jordan glares at Ripper before turning to Scorpion.*
Jordan: "Romance is like swimming. There are lots of ways to do it, but you have to learn the general principles first."
*Jordan puts his arm around Scorpion and walks to the corner.*
Jordan: "And the best way to learn is to be thrown into the water."
*Jordan throws Scorpion down the hallway where he slides and hits the table Monica is at.*
Jordan: "SWIM, SCORPION, SWIM!"
*Jordan walks back to Ripper and nods.*
Jordan: "Give him a minute, and we will check on him."
*Without much to say to one another, Jordan and Ripper share an uncomfortable silence for a few seconds unless Jordan thinks of something.*
Jordan: "That is something you would have done."
Ripper: "That is something I really would have liked to do."
*Some more time passes, and the duo walk around the corner and don't see Scorpion. They walk up to Monica.*
Jordan: "Is a friend of ours here?"
Monica: "Yeah, he's under the table."
*Jordan and Ripper look down to see Scorpion sitting in the fetal position. Jordan nervously laughs and talks to Monica and Ripper.*
Jordan: "Just give him a second and he will come out."
Ripper: "Ironic, because that is what everyone says about you."
*Monica laughs as Jordan shoots Ripper a dirty look.*
Monica: "He's funny."
Jordan: "Do not encourage him."
*Jordan turns back to the table. Sure enough, Scorpion breaks the fetal position and looks around like a scared dog before walking over to Jordan on all-fours and hiding behind him. Jordan just looks down and shakes his head.*
Jordan: "You drowned."
Jordan: "Are you scared of the hallway again?"
*Not expecting to be snuck up on, Scorpion screams and jumps up. He turns around and sees that it is "The Role Model" as he pants and catches his breath.*
Jordan: "You know I chased away the Hallway Monster for good. He will not be back. You have no reason to be afraid."
