*The scene opens up with "The Role Model" sitting on the couch in the Connection's locker room reading the AWA Gazette, which is poorly produced on some printer paper. The headline reads of Ripper winning the Undisputed World Title and a link to an online poll where readers can vote on Anthony Jordan's sexuality. The "paper" is identified as a Kennedy/Scorpion production. Jordan tosses the paper aside.*
Jordan: "Why did I buy a yearly subscription to this? What made me think they would be nice to me?"
*About that time, "The Ego" walks into the room. He gives his partner a brief wave as he looks to have business at hand. Jordan stands up and speaks up.*
Jordan: "Hey, MJ, got a minute?"
*Windsor spends around and smiles.*
Windsor: "Anything for my real brother!"
Jordan: "Good. I..."
*MJ Windsor cuts him off.*
Windsor: "Sorry, mate, just let me add that you need to be quick. Got some business deals brewing."
*Jordan nods.*
Jordan: "No problem. I understand. I just never got to talk to you about your return at Anarchy where you gave me the win in the cage."
*MJ smiles and pats Jordan on the shoulder.*
Windsor: "You don't have to thank me, bro! We do this for each other!"
Jordan: "No, it is just..."
*MJ cuts him off again.*
Windsor: "I bet those flowers you 'got' from Chantelle were really for me! You just rightly felt wrong about giving flowers to another man. HAHA, you got me! I thought you were becoming the woman in your relationship."
*He wipes away a bead of sweat.*
Windsor: "Didn't know how I was going to tell you to 'lie back and think of England.'"
*MJ laughs as Jordan sighs.*
Jordan: "It is not that. It is just that you never told me you were coming back. I would have liked to know."
Windsor: "Even the Connection needs a surprise or two! It's showmanship!"
Jordan: "But you could have come out and congratulated me after I won. I had the match won, you know?"
*MJ nods.*
Windsor: "I know that, and you know that. I just sped up the inevitable result! Even a star as big as you would struggle to make those other three interesting. I wouldn't, but I wasn't in the match."
*"The Role Model" lets the ego-boosting back-handed compliment slide.*
Jordan: "People have been doubting us lately with the title situation and now this. Had I beaten them on my own, I could have silenced them."
*MJ puts his arm around Jordan.*
Windsor: "What is a better display of power than all the top members of AWA out cold on the mat with the Connection standing tall? That's the bigger statement!"
*MJ walks over to the bar and pours himself a shot of vodka as Jordan reluctantly accepts what his partner says.*
Jordan: "I know you had Khris attack Croc."
*MJ downs the shot and smiles.*
Windsor: "Damn straight, I did! It was perfect. You set Croc and Ripper up with this whole 'we're friends' bullshit, then Khris took Croc down! That's why the Connection rules!"
Jordan: "But Ripper and I are allies, and I am on good terms with Croc. Michael, this is what I am talking about. You just run with whatever plans you want without soliciting my opinion. You show show my allies no respect and paint me into a corner. I am getting sick of it. I want some respect!"
*MJ chuckles a bit.*
Jordan: "This is Michael John Windsor in his truest form. You are so darn sure you are right with your head up your own butt that you really just tune everyone out, even me. This is not the Connection, anymore. It is the 'MJ Show.'"
*MJ seems to be thrown off as he cocks his head. Suddenly, he cracks a huge grin and points at Jordan.*
Windsor: "AWWWWWWWWW, you had me going, AJ! I really thought you were serious."
*Jordan tries to rebut, but is cut off.*
Windsor: "That's why I love you! You're funny!"
Jordan: "This is..."
*MJ cuts him off again.*
Windsor: "Is going to have to wait. Gotta go! You keep those jokes fresh for when I return!"
*Windsor jogs out as Jordan sighs, then kicks over the coffee table as we fade to black.*
