Oh, man!

This town turned my head around.

Forgot our mission,

what was important.

You know what? I'll do what it takes

from here on out to get the job done.

Yes, you are. And I am too.

We're gonna get you that belt back.

Man, I don't know, baby.

What?

What?

What's the matter?

What did Sal just say?

It's about what's in here!

Dude...

...you just crushed

my Butterfinger, baby.

Butterfinger?!

Get in the van now, okay?

Sorry.

Sorry, I had to make a call.

How's Sal?

- He's gonna make it.

- Oh, good.

That's more than I can say for us.

What's going on?

We're going back to basics.

To find our heart.

Well, can I come?

No. Because you don't have one.

I can't believe I met Goldberg.

That's cool, you know?

I know you don't wanna talk

about your fallout...

You're right. I don't.

- Look, I just...

- Mind your own business, all right?

Where we going, King?

There's something I gotta do.

Hello, Eugenia.

Jimmy King.

You are a bastard!

Let me help you up.

I guess I deserved that.

I just had to kick you

in the diddly again.

Jesus!

Oh, the humanity. Make it stop.

How's your diddly?

Hope I broke it.

It's definitely bruised.

What the hell you thinking,

coming back here?

I'm not exactly sure.

I think that the King

is ready to be a man.

Well, how does it feel?

Like Richard Petty ran a stock car

into my balls...

...going 400 miles an hour.

Well, look what the rat puked up.

Oh, Jesus.

You mean "cat," son, don't you?

I ain't your son.

Frankie...

...I came to say I was sorry.

Too late!

Jesus, look at that grill!

I mean, no, son. How you doing?

It's good to see...

Eugenia, please.

I'm sorry that I took off on you...

...when I should've been

taking care of you.

Really. I'm really sorry.

You can fry ice in hell, you bastard!

What's the good in saying you're sorry?

What are you gonna do about it?

What am I gonna do?

Well, I'm gonna get that belt back.

I'm gonna win $1 million.

I'm gonna pay off all my debts.

I'm gonna do the right thing by you.

That's what I'm gonna do.

And by God, I'm gonna get that boy

a damn good dentist.

Yo, Sean!

Wyoming! We're home, baby.

We're home, baby. Wyoming.

No place like home.

I can breathe out here.

Approach the vehicle, son.

Hi, Dad.

No back talk.

No excuses.

Just get in the car.

- What'd he do?

- Nothing.

You're gonna be a cop, little mister.

No skimpy outfits,

no touching other men.

But I'm destined for other things.

I'm following my dream.

Well, your dream is stupid!

Just because it's your dream doesn't

make it right or noble or whatever.

Charlie Manson was

following his dream.

Joe Stalin, Michael Bolton...

You get my point?

That's a 211, breaking and entering.

Gordie, come on.

We need you, brother. Let's go.

Gordie, we need you, baby.

I need you.

I need you in my corner, man.

I need you to help me pick my posse.

I don't know if I can do this

without you.

- Really?

- Yeah.

You do?

I need you to help us go down to Vegas

and rule ass! Let's go!

Let's begone!

I can't.

I gotta study for this cop exam.

My dad...

It's your dream.

It's your dream. Come on.

My dream's stupid.

Time for me to get rid of

all this junk.

You know, get rid of all my childish

things. Time for me to grow up.

We've come all this way.

Why are you giving up on me now?

I'm sorry.

I can't.

You guys better get out of here.

My dad'll shoot you.

He will.

Next, please.

Hell, everybody knows

wrestling's fake.

That feel fake?

We are Satan's Siamese twins!

You guys aren't really

Siamese twins, are you?

Sorry.

Oklahoma, where the wind goes

Sweeping down the plains

Where the waving wheat

Sure smells sweet

Aren't these the auditions

for Oklahoma?

Oklahoma, okay

Okay, Dawkins, who's left?

First, Fireman Fred.

I'm Fireman Fred,

and I'm gonna hose you!

Those are good, right?

Next, this is The Chewer.

Come on. Last, but not least...

...this is Kitty.

Hi, darling, I'm afraid we need to

take people who can help us in Vegas.

My friends, they call me Pretty Kitty.

What's she gonna do,

boob them to death?

How you feeling, big guy?

- I feel pretty good.

- Good.

Haven't felt this good in a long time.

Good. Keep it up.

You ready for Vegas tomorrow?

Yeah.

I wish Gordie was coming.

Me too.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

See you, now. Bye-bye.

Hey, Sean.

I saw you on TNT.

What was New York like?

It was good. It was fun.

You know, but I'm not much

of a big-city fella.

My heart's right here in Lusk.

I'll see you, okay?

Excuse me.

Hi, Wendy.

I couldn't stop thinking about

how you were always nice to me.

And I was thinking I should've been a

lot nicer back. I got you something.

Thank you, Sean.

Like it?

It's the greatest.

I have a gift for you too.

Come here.

Really wish I could go with you,

but I can't.

I'm sorry.

I feel like I let you down.

I understand. Really, I do.

And I want to tell you something.

No matter what happens in Vegas...

...I can't thank you enough

for what you did for me.

All right?

Good luck to you, now.

You take care of yourself.

Wait! Stop the car!

Good luck, King!

- You all right?

- Totally.

- I just want to say good luck.

- Thank you.

- I'll see you at the restaurant.

- Definitely.

- Good luck.

- Thank you.

I'll totally be thinking of you. Bye!

Listen to me very carefully.

If you plan to have

any future at all...

...in my business...

...you will not allow Jimmy King...

...to reach that belt.

What?

Excuse me, Mr. Sinclair?

They're ready.

Thank you.

I will kill you if you f*** this up.

Looking good, baby.

Thank you. You're looking good.

Am I?

Are you ready?

Hell, yeah.

Ladies and gentlemen...

- Why did you drag me here?

- Because he sent the tickets.

And welcome to One-Man Suicide!

Tonight the WCW belt...

...is on the line!

One million dollars is on the line!

And one man's life...

...is on the line!

Jimmy King!

You want the belt?

Come on down and get it!

It's on top of the cage of death.

Which is on top of another cage.

Which is yet on top of another cage!

Three cages...

...two warriors...

...one belt.

Triple cage.

Come on down.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's time...

...for the WCW Royal Bash main event...

...for the Heavyweight Championship

of the World!

Coming to the ring first,

from Marietta, Georgia...

Okay, baby, triple cage.

You watch my back.

Keep that posse on standby.

Jimmy King!

Watch out for the pyro!

What was that?

What was that last thing?

Oh, my God, I'm on fire! I'm melting!

I'm melting!

Sweet Jesus, I'm melting!

I said, "Watch out for the pyro."

And now, making his entrance

to the ring...

...DDP...

...Diamond Dallas Page!

I heard Sal was just too beat up

to make the trip.

And now the triple cage is

in place and ready.

The challenger and champion are ready.

Are we ready?

For the thousands in attendance...

...and the millions watching

around the world...

...ladies and gentlemen...

...we are...
