[Jay Phillips is running down a hallway backstage.]
Jay Phillips: Warlock!
[Jay calls to Warlock, who is walking further up the hallway. Warlock stops and turns around.]
Jay Phillips: Warlock! You're a hard man to track down. I've been meaning to talk to you about your match this week with Benjamin the Blessed.
[Warlock smiles and laughs, grabbing Jay by the shoulder and shaking him for a moment.]
Warlock: Jay Phillips, right? Yes, I saw that I have a match scheduled with Benjamin the Blessed. What can I say? He's an impressive character, isn't he? I managed to catch a glimpse of his match last time. I'm looking forward to the match. Can I share an observation, Jay?
Jay Phillips: Uh, yeah sure. What is it?
Warlock: I feel, and this is just me, I feel like the guy is just a little too serious. I've heard The Holy Duo talking about cleansing the NRWL and fighting fire with fire to do it. It's a noble cause!!! But! It's not going to work. Not as long as I'm around. You know why, Jay? Because I LIKE the rock and roll attitude around here and I'm not about to let two monks ruin my fun! Their job is about to get a whole lot harder because Warlock has arrived and that means the volume just got turned up! If you don't like it, just try to stop me!
Jay Phillips: [laughs] Well, if you are anything like your father, The Druid, I suspect you'll be here for a long time.
[Warlock stops smiling and gives Jay a cold stare.]
Warlock: Jay, I've worked hard to make it clear that I am not my father. We're two completely different people. I'm going to be around for a long time, that's for sure, but it's because I am my own man. Just you watch me.
Jay Phillips: I'm... I'm sorry.
[Warlock suddenly grins wide.]
Warlock: [laughing] Don't worry about it, Jay! We're good! [his face gets serious again and his voice gets deeper] But don't let it happen again.
[Warlock walks away from Jay. The hallway is busy with backstage crew preparing for the next event. Warlock walks by a man standing against a wall wearing a black hoodie and jeans. He doesn't seem to notice the man in the hoodie. The man in the hoodie notices him, however, as he steps away from the wall and quietly watches Warlock walking away.]
