How much longer is this going to go on? I wish it would all be over
A large locker room is shown. A leather couch sits against the back wall with a coffee table full of fruits, crackers, cheese and assorted meats. Szaban is sitting on the couch with his head facing the ceiling and his eyes are closed.
I am really tired of waiting for everything to take place. I don't know, maybe I really am getting too old for all of this. Haha old? Yeah right come on Matt you are only twenty-two. Yeah but these bones feel ohh so much older. Oh well whatever.
Szaban lifts his head up off of the couch and looks towards the door as if he is expecting someone. He rolls his eyes as he puts his head back down.
Honestly where in the hell are they? People always got me waiting all damn day. Always trying to say I ain't got nothing better to do. Screw it, maybe I'll just take a nap. As soon as I fall asleep they will get back.
Szaban grabs the Boston Redsox all white hat and covers his face with it.
Hmm there we go. Dark and quiet just the way it needs to be. Oh this is good now just stop thinking about things and...
A knocking sound is heard on the door.
Are you fucking serious. Come on you don't have to knock open the door already.
The knock happens again and Szaban sits up. The hat falls to the floor and he hardly acknowledges it as he stares at the door
Szaban~
What?! Open the door already!
The door opens and in walks a technician with a clip board in his hand. Szaban tilts his head to the side as he raises his right eyebrow.
Szaban~
Why don't you tell me what you want?
The tech looks at Szaban and then back at the door and realizes he has made a mistake.
Technician~
My fault Mr. Szaban I thought this was B14, obiviously it is not.
Szaban rolls his eyes at the unwanted disturbance
Szaban~
Okay well good luck finding that. Now I am going to get back to this nap.
The Tech gives a half smile as he waves at Szaban
Technician~
Sorry about that.
Szaban gives him a head nod as the door closes. Szaban shakes his head as he reaches for the fallen hat.
Okay I so knew that was going to happen.
Szaban lies down as he puts the hat back over his face
Mmm time to pick up where I left off.
His body becomes relaxed and it seems as if he is finally going to sleep
mm yeah. It's nice to just lie here and relax it's been so long.
Szaban adjusts his arm so that it can act as a pillow to ease him asleep.
RING RING... RING RING... RING RING
I give up!
Szaban tosses the hat off of his face and sits up
Who could it be?
RING RING... RING RING... RING RING
AHH... okay where is this damn thing
Szaban looks around and spots his cell phone. He picks it up looks at the caller id and flips the phone open
Szaban~
Hey mom
What do you want I am tired!
Szaban~
No of course I am not too busy to talk to my mother
I am too tired though so make this snappy.
Szaban~
Yeah I know, I wish you could have been here but I know that with Dad not feeling well and Laura being pregnant it was just too much at one time.
Szaban's face shows frustration as he rolls his eyes
You really don't have to explain this to me. It's not the first time you haven't made a title fight. I know you'll just make the next one and tell me how badly you wish you could have been at this one.
Szaban~
What? No I am not upset, I know it happens. No Mom I am great. You know I love you.
How does she always hear what I do not say. Like I can't think about being stressed or she'll call me out on it. Mom's I swear they are natures rubix cubes.
Szaban stands up and streches his back
Szaban~
Okay Mom. Just tell everyone that I send my love and I will definitely give you a call tomorrow morning.
Okay or not.
Szaban~
Okay I will call you after the match to let you know how everything goes. I love you mom
Blah blah, come on Mom you're killing me.
Szaban~
I'll talk to you later mom, bye.
Whew..
Szaban puts the phone on the table next to a bowl of grapes. He looks at the fruit and picks up a handfull of grapes.
MMmm good grapes. Ahh okay well I know if I try it again I am just going to get interupted so now what?
Szaban walks around the room looking for something to keep his mind occupied
I swear I am going to lose it one of these days. What is there to do in a freaking locker room. And Rachels not here so I can't do that. Hmm.. I think I may have just gone insane. Haha, okay come on Matt just try it again. Let's see if you can get to sleep this time.
Szaban walks over to the couch and sits down. He glances over the room then finally lies back down
Here we go round three. Get some rest, they'll be here soon and then well it's going to be a big night anyway.
A quick tap on the door then the door swings open. Szaban jumps up and looks towards the door
What the hell?! Bring it on!
Rochelle Szaban steps out from behind the door followed by her Mother Rachel Martin. Szaban laughs to himself and walks over to his daughter and exwife
I am really too far on edge. I might need to switch to decaf.. I don't even drink coffee?
Rachel~
MATT!!
His head snaps up as he looks at her with a questionable look on his face.
Szaban~
Oh hey Rach. And how's daddys baby been doing?
Szaban grabs Rochelle and picks her up
Rochelle~
Hi daddy. I'm good, mommy said you took a vacasion
Szaban and Rachel exchange a look and then he smiles at Rochelle
Szaban~
Aw baby you know Daddy just get's busy sometimes. So where are we eating?
Rachel opens the door back up as the conversation continues out in the hall
