(Adam peers from behind a camera lens, without a hint of a smile or any joviality. To say that Adam was fully focused on the task at hand would be an understatement. It had been a while since Caroline and Solomon had spoken, and usually this would be the part where he would find himself laughing at the sheer hypocrisy and inconsistencies on offer, but this was the day the laughter had stopped. Wrestling for Elite Answers Wrestling was a dream for him that had become reality, but this was as far removed from competition as it could possibly be. This was a moment in time that he would remember forever, and he wasn’t naïve enough to believe that it couldn’t end up being a nightmare. No, there was no time for laughter. No time for humor, nor sarcastic comments. He found himself once again at a crossroads, and he would move heaven and earth to ensure that he wasn’t forced down the wrong path and towards the abyss. This goal was different. Not accolades, or accomplishments. Championship or Gold. This was about the definitive, absolute destruction of an enemy. And it was yet another goal he was going to achieve. He had to. And so, with his tone one of determination, and perhaps a little louder than ever before, he starts to speak. The comments of both Caroline and Solomon are both at the forefront of his mind.)
“Is that it Caroline? Is that truly all you have to offer on the eve of the biggest match of your life? I mean, I think that speaks for itself, this being a moment in time when you have finally achieved at least an element of relevancy and you needed both Beth and I to give you that. But that’s not why we are at this point, is it Caroline. No, in this case the devil is most certainly in the details. And therein lies the thing Caroline, with you, the details tend to get ‘muddled’. You never seem to remember the thoughts that have come from your mouth in the past. I mean for the past two years it’s been Beth who ‘made you this way’ and yet now because the narrative suits, it’s Ruler. You had no feelings for me whatsoever, but now I have become an integral piece of who you want to be. You know what you remind me of right now Caroline? Nothing but a Gothy, extremely watered down version of Kassidy Heart, but with only a hint of the same talent. I don’t know, maybe you set out on this journey to be an emo copycat, or maybe it just happened. And you know what, I believe you. I believe you when you say you haven’t listened to a single word I’ve said, nor care what I feel or believe. But you WILL care Caroline. You WILL care by the time I’m through, or you’ll be gone.
Either. Or.
But Beth isn’t the reason for the way that you are? Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence Caroline. Your obsessive behavior towards her is exactly the reason you gravitated to someone like Solomon Stane who if he wasn’t someone you could use, you wouldn’t have even given him a second glance. You’re one of what life likes to call a ‘wannabe’. You want to be great but know that you can’t do that based on talent alone. Like Howard Stern, you’re only relevant because you can do the ’shocking’, just like Solomon. Unfortunately for you, Beth and I are capable of something much, MUCH more. I’ll come to Solomon in a bit, I’ve heard you bro don’t worry, but let’s face it, you’re nothing more than Caroline’s attack dog, but I’ll still give you your due diligence in a bit. But when it comes to this match and it’s for combatants, who is the team who can truly come out here and claim to have done something extreme that didn’t come from a sneak attack? You’re looking at one of them Caroline. You like to call me a ‘pussy’, because you don’t understand love. Like a lost little fucking girl, you don’t get what it is like to want to protect someone. Oh Caroline, I know more than most, Bethany doesn’t need protection, but that’s what true partners do. They look out for each other. I’ll give you your due, and Solomon as well for that matter, no one has gotten into my head like the two of you, not even Impact. So yes, you do deserve credit for that. What you DON’T deserve credit for, is ignoring the obvious ramifications of your actions. Not recognizing that the Adam Lucas on screen, is the man I chose to be. When that choice is taken from me, however, that’s when I must become someone else. And if there is ANYONE who knows about true survival in this world, it’s me. You can come on camera and act like this has been some huge struggle, caused by the hands of Beth, or Ruler, or whoever. But has it really? You nearly lost an eye? Important word there… nearly. I nearly bled to death in that ring, but it doesn’t matter here. Not really. In your simplest form Caroline, all you are is just another bitch acting out because they didn’t get their way.
What? Am I supposed to believe that in a year, maybe two, this whole gimmick won’t be long forgotten?
You talk of enablement, and the fact is this ‘character’ has allowed you to do these things, but you are STILL that scared little girl from Kentucky who doesn’t have the first clue what I am capable of when pushed. That’s why you talk of the ‘Queen of Shadows’ as if you are in some way original, when there are hundreds of individuals who walk, talk and act the way you do. You’re incapable of telling the truth Caroline, and that’s why if it wasn’t so ridiculous I’d react… dismissing Beth’s actions? What the actual fuck? Are we sure I’m not talking to Kass in a wig? Do you have a camera set up in my house? Do you have backstage footage of the many arguments Beth and I have had about the way she conducts her business? You don’t fucking know what I said to Beth, you only surmise in the way it suits. Well, get this Caroline, right now I understand more than ever before way Beth had to be the way she is when she steps through those ropes. Do I condone it? For the forty millionth time, NO I don’t. And guess what Caroline, I don’t condone what I am going to have to do to you at Grand Rampage either but know that it needs to be done. Yours and Solomon’s argument may be sound when it comes to Beth, she has been a pain in your ass. Me, it seems like you only do it because I’m her husband, or for the sheer hell of it. Either way it doesn’t matter. And as for overlooking you, I’ll be honest with you Caroline, that’s probably even more ridiculous than this fucking gimmick of yours. Do you REALLY think I’d overlook anyone who nailed my wife to a cross? Even you can’t be that stupid. Herein lies the BIG difference between you and me. I know exactly what you are capable of. You know fuck about me because you haven’t been listening to a word, I’ve said… by your own admittance. You should have stayed in those shadows Caroline, because now the spotlight is well and truly on you. I see you bitch. Next, I take you down. And this time, there will be no opportunity to ‘rise’ again. That was Ruler’s mistake.
It won’t be mine.
And of course you see me as a fool, that’s no real surprise, is it? Though you won’t admit it at this moment, you see Solomon as a fool as well, and no doubt believe him to be the nutjob I’ve already exampled. You’re not intimidated by me either? So, fucking what? Have I set out to intimidate you at any point? No. I leave that to people who are far better than me at it so what’s your point? Ah yes, Adam Lucas is not capable of the things that he is saying. Adam Lucas is a hero; he cannot do these things. Adam Lucas is a, and I quote, ‘spineless, whipped sorry excuse of a man’.”
(Adam pauses, and for the first time does stifle a mere hint of a grin. Instead, he takes a deep breath and continues.)
“Let’s get one thing straight Caroline, for all your bravado of ‘almost’ getting an Answers World Champion shot, there are two things you fail to mention. ONE, that I carried you though qualification and got you into the Cage in the first place, and TWO, you cannot say with any certainty that would have been the case had Solomon not poked his big fat nose into my business once again. Of course, what happened, happened, you came close, but to say that the Grand Rampage would have gone much differently, I’d have to disagree. Cy is going to lose to Chef Viz. You would have lost to Chef Viz. So that’s all a little irrelevant and has nothing to do with the point you were trying to make. Another meandering rhetoric.
Anyway.
Getting you back on track, what you were trying to say is that when I say I am going to burn you alive, you don’t believe I’m capable, and that I don’t have that killswitch within me. You’re working on some ill-educated logic, that I can’t pull the trigger, nor have the killer instinct. Yes? Because I’ve never lowered myself to those levels. Sweetheart, I accept you haven’t seen it, nor has many people, but that doesn’t mean to say that it’s never happened. Tell me Caroline, could a pussy have gotten to his feet with blood pouring from his neck?
No.
Could a pussy have got down from a cross having been crucified and still won the Extreme Elimination Chamber?
No.
Could a pussy have thrown Minerva, someone who you should be basing yourself on, twenty feet from an Electrified Scaffold to the concrete floor?
No.
And that’s my friend Caroline. And yet still I did that just simply to WIN a match. And you really think I can’t scorch you alive, to ensure that Beth and I survive this Inferno Match? Caroline, I’ve picked up on a lot of things you have gotten wrong thus far, but this is just pure ignorance. You say the whole world has me figured out, and yet I only see you and Solomon saying these things, and you sure as hell weren’t saying them when you needed me to get you into that cage were you? Solomon, take heed fella, whatever she’s saying to you now, won’t be the same rhetoric once you fail. In fact, I reckon she’ll probably be your next FPV opponent if I know the way the booking works in this place. Back to you Caroline, I’m not jilted, I’m not even hurt. But I AM fucking angry, but this ‘cavalier’ attitude, is nothing new to me like it is you. It was once who I was, and whence I will become it again. Let’s see what you think I’m capable of once the Grand Rampage is over ad your left licking those wounds… AGAIN.
It just seems to me that every defense you have against your defeat is an apparent ‘weaknesses on my part. Well, my basis for our victory is your apparent stupidity. I mean, let’s forget everything I have already said, let’s forget I was the Hardcore Champion. Let’s forget I defended the Answers World Champion for seven months, one of those defenses being the Extreme Elimination Chamber. So yes, on paper, you and Solomon do look like the team with the ‘advantage’, because you don’t play by the rules. But there are no rules to play by, so where is the logic? Yes, I have beaten Solomon more times than I care to remember. Yes, Beth has beaten you more times than she cares to remember. But as I said, this isn’t a wrestling match, and it isn’t about ‘beating’ you. Just imagine for a second, Beth pulls out the syringe again and being the dumb fuck he is, Solomon falls for it again and we dump the sorry sack of shit on the bonfire. Are we really to believe you’ll be hanging around for the fireworks? You two have NOTHING but a common enemy. NOTHING. Yes, you are capable Elitists and talented… but it isn’t about that is it? By your own narrative, that doesn’t matter, because if it did Bethany and I could be nothing more than the odds-on favorites here. No, this is a war. A war you believe I’m incapable of. And that’s fine, you can think what you will sweetheart. You were warned, let us not forget this. You have been warned multiple times what happens when you cross Bethany Blue, you’ve paid that cost. And now, at Grand Rampage you shall pay the debt again… but this time in full. Laugh it up… it WILL be your last.”
(Adam puffs out his cheeks and gives a deep sigh. So many times, he had been dismissed in the past and proven people wrong, but this time it was different. This time to prove his point, he had to go to a place he hadn’t been in the longest time. And if he was honest with himself, it was that that troubled him more than anything his opponents believed or didn’t believe he could do. He knew people wouldn’t like what they saw, but he had been given very little choice by those that threatened him. He knew there would be those that couldn’t and wouldn’t understand that. He puts those thoughts to the back of his mind though and focuses on the person he now saw only as an attack dog for Caroline’s benefit. Somebody even more ridiculous that Sabrina the Fucked-Up Witch.)
“Do you know something Solomon, if there is anyone in this company that is the epitome of ‘talks a good game’ it is you. I’ve never been to your ‘Church’ in the desert, but I can’t lie, I can fully imagine you standing up and preaching to your flock, and them hanging on your every word. The way you put things, the words you use, sometimes I admit that I am in awe, just like the writings of Shakespeare you have a way of putting things. The problem with you however is that is all it is when it comes to you… words. Because no matter how hard you try, you never deliver. I mean, look at all the words you threw at Beth ahead of your most recent encounter. You were so eloquent, and here you are again following the same narrative. But when you strip it back, and take a simpler excuse, the fact is that when it all comes down to it, NO ONE believes a single word that comes out of your mouth. Because even when you have the upper hand, you still fail to take advantage of the situation. Your mind isn’t your weakness Solomon, it’s your body that lets you down. I don’t care for this ‘God’ of yours, I think I’ve made that clear. If this ‘God’ thinks that it’s alright for a sanctimonious prick to crucify my wife, then as far as I’m concerned, your ‘God’ is nothing more than a cunt. So, I’m not going to focus on your ‘teachings’, because as far as I’m concerned, it’s just the rhetoric of a very confused individual, trying to find his way in a world that has proven too much for him. I’m going to focus on why you have allowed yourself to be nothing more than Caroline’s plaything. A weapon she can use as she pleases. I’m going to focus on why when this is all over, history will have repeated itself and YOU will be left with nothing. Exactly what you deserve.
I mean, I’ve already been called ‘whipped’ by Caroline, a statement that I’m assuming drives from ‘pussy whipped’ as if Bethany has control over me. As ridiculous a statement as that is, is it not true that the same could be said for you. I mean, just a few months ago, you were preaching this message as if you could be the only one who could deliver it, and yet now you are doing precisely that Caroline tells you to do. She also called me a fool, which is interesting coming from the person who has made more mistakes than most and almost lost an eye because of it, and yet it is you who is renowned for making the simplest of mistakes.
Do you disagree?
Well, that’s go back to your last promo, and considering how I have already conceded how great a word smith you are. When you talk of the message that me and my wife want to send. The message that Bethany Blue and Adam PAGE are not to be fucked with. Who the fuck is Adam Page? See I get it, you want us to take you seriously, I think the crucifixion have been visual examples of that, but how can we when you don’t even know who the fuck I am? Or was it a simple slip of the tongue? Like ‘being down to their hollow bones’, just a simple missed word perhaps? And that’s my point, for someone who is obviously an educated man, or at least when it comes to religion, you do get an awful lot of things wrong, and it is these details that ultimately lead to your own demise. Take the Extreme Elimination Chamber for instance… you thought put me on a cross was enough, were you right? No, you’ve admitted it since that I’m much more of a man than you gave me credit for, and yet here you are agreeing with Caroline. Again, that’s either stupidity, or it’s ignorance. So, no Solomon, I don’t share the same assessment you share of yourself, and I’ll always bring it up. Because when it matters, when it TRULY matters, you never get it done. Oh, and fuck you Solomon, seriously fuck you. You had a choice and it had nothing to do with the imaginary voices in your head. You took it to me, because you saw me as a soft touch. The same soft touch Caroline is counting on me being at Grand Rampage. You had to give me that crown and crucify me… alright fucknuts, I’ll bite. I have to fuck you up for what you did to Beth. Is that clear enough to you and your ‘God’ Solomon? You don’t like me? Shucks, what am I to do? I don’t give a flying fuck if you like me or not and do you know why? It doesn’t matter to me. You are only on my radar because you were stupid enough to put yourself there. Bad shave… that’s funny Solomon. When I’m through with you, there will be no place where hair will ever grow again, no skin for it to thrive. There is no way you escape from this Solomon. None. And this wasn’t brought on by God, this is all YOUR doing, and thus, you shall be punished. Again, not be some deity, but by Bethany Blue and Adam LUCAS.
And you know what, I think the last part of your promo shows me that you are FINALLY starting to get that.
See, I’m a firm believer that I will never have everyone like me, there aren’t many people alive that can ever say that. There is always going to be someone that you are going to piss off no matter how much you try not to. After this weekend, there are going to be a few more who don’t care for me, because I’ll no longer be the symbol for what they stand for. And that’s ok. So, if you do hate me, then fine. Drop the testament for a while and tell it like it is. But at least have some legitimacy behind your reasonings. Reading between the lines, you find it hard not to hate me because I’m ‘ungrateful’ and ‘full of myself’… that right? Then please, please explain to me how you came to this conclusion, considering that I have more than given you, and everyone else in this match their dues. I’ve never said this match is a foregone conclusion, though your partner has dreamed up that I did. I haven’t hidden from the fact that you and Caroline stripped me bare placing Beth on that cross and made me feel weaker than I have in my entire life. As for ungratefulness, the fact I am only now being this way and have MORE than verbalized my thanks for this company taking a chance on me, well it just shows how pathetic a statement it is to make. But you make it because you want legitimacy. You want your reasonings to be sound and thus make it as vague as you can. Dude, point is I don’t need you to explain a damn thing to me. You made it clear the moment you put me, and Beth on that cross that you don’t like us. The moment you did that, emotion became irrelevant, and it was all about what happened next.
So, what does happen next?
Two weeks ago, you beat me due to my wife’s interference, and bravo, applause and fanfare please, you finally got something right because no, that doesn’t matter. Yeah, Beth thought I was going to lose, and you know what, they stung me a little and certainly a lot more than any punishment you inflicted on me, but it is what it is. I’m glad you didn’t place any bearing on it, and I’m happy that you got some kind of amusement out of it. But do you know what I also got? This whole ‘Rocky’ montage you just put in my brain of you running through the snowy alps with a tree trunk on your back. Training ‘harder than ever before’. This isn’t about ability, or technique Solomon. It’s not about strength or ideologies. I’ll tell you who you are Solomon, you don’t need ‘God’ talking down to you. You’re the EXACT same prick I faced in the Elimination Chamber, but now with someone else pulling the strings… it’s as simple as that. The minute we cut those strings; the puppet master will run away. You know it. Then you’ll find out EXACTLY what you should have been preparing for when you were doing a few extra burpees. You should have been preparing for a Dr. Bethany Blue that no longer wants to just put a ‘W’ in the win column, but who now wants to end you once and for all. You should have been preparing not for this ‘image’ of weakness that Caroline has put in your head, but for the man who tore himself off that cross and overcame you and five others for a shiny gold belt. I said this once before, but it was predictably ignored, but if I fight that hard for a championship, how far will I go for the one person most important to me? The person I would happily give my life to at Grand Rampage. That is BOTH your issues, you have NEVER considered the most impact fact of all. That Adam LUCAS would dive to the depths of hell, take the devil and rip his fucking head off if he wronged my Beth. You think I won’t end the careers of two very replaceable cunts if need be? BOTH of you haven’t opened your eyes. BOTH of you have failed to see this situation for what it is. It is I who have been overlooked, the person who apparently doesn’t belong in this environment. Believe that. Hold it close. Stay with that narrative and one that course. It’s all good.”
(Adam nods his head, maintaining his glare down the camera lens.)
“I belong in ANY environment I chose to inhabit. Whether you believe me or not, really isn’t my concern, and nor is it, Beth’s. Time will furnish you both with that belief. But by then, it will be too late. For BOTH of you.”
(Adam looks away from camera, as the scene slowly fades.)
“Is that it Caroline? Is that truly all you have to offer on the eve of the biggest match of your life? I mean, I think that speaks for itself, this being a moment in time when you have finally achieved at least an element of relevancy and you needed both Beth and I to give you that.

And if he was honest with himself, it was that that troubled him more than anything his opponents believed or didn’t believe he could do. He knew people wouldn’t like what they saw, but he had been given very little choice by those that threatened him. He knew there would be those that couldn’t and wouldn’t understand that. He puts those thoughts to the back of his mind though and focuses on the person he now saw only as an attack dog for Caroline’s benefit. Somebody even more ridiculous that Sabrina the Fucked-Up Witch.)
“Do you know something Solomon, if there is anyone in this company that is the epitome of ‘talks a good game’ it is you. I’ve never been to your ‘Church’ in the desert, but I can’t lie, I can fully imagine you standing up and preaching to your flock, and them hanging on your every word. The way you put things, the words you use, sometimes I admit that I am in awe, just like the writings of Shakespeare you have a way of putting things. The problem with you however is that is all it is when it comes to you… words. Because no matter how hard you try, you never deliver. I mean, look at all the words you threw at Beth ahead of your most recent encounter. You were so eloquent, and here you are again following the same narrative. But when you strip it back, and take a simpler excuse, the fact is that when it all comes down to it, NO ONE believes a single word that comes out of your mouth. Because even when you have the upper hand, you still fail to take advantage of the situation. Your mind isn’t your weakness Solomon, it’s your body that lets you down. I don’t care for this ‘God’ of yours, I think I’ve made that clear. If this ‘God’ thinks that it’s alright for a sanctimonious prick to crucify my wife, then as far as I’m concerned, your ‘God’ is nothing more than a cunt. So, I’m not going to focus on your ‘teachings’, because as far as I’m concerned, it’s just the rhetoric of a very confused individual, trying to find his way in a world that has proven too much for him. I’m going to focus on why you have allowed yourself to be nothing more than Caroline’s plaything. A weapon she can use as she pleases. I’m going to focus on why when this is all over, history will have repeated itself and YOU will be left with nothing. Exactly what you deserve.
I mean, I’ve already been called ‘whipped’ by Caroline, a statement that I’m assuming drives from ‘pussy whipped’ as if Bethany has control over me. As ridiculous a statement as that is, is it not true that the same could be said for you. I mean, just a few months ago, you were preaching this message as if you could be the only one who could deliver it, and yet now you are doing precisely that Caroline tells you to do. She also called me a fool, which is interesting coming from the person who has made more mistakes than most and almost lost an eye because of it, and yet it is you who is renowned for making the simplest of mistakes.
Do you disagree?
Well, that’s go back to your last promo, and considering how I have already conceded how great a word smith you are. When you talk of the message that me and my wife want to send. The message that Bethany Blue and Adam PAGE are not to be fucked with. Who the fuck is Adam Page? See I get it, you want us to take you seriously, I think the crucifixion have been visual examples of that, but how can we when you don’t even know who the fuck I am? Or was it a simple slip of the tongue? Like ‘being down to their hollow bones’, just a simple missed word perhaps? And that’s my point, for someone who is obviously an educated man, or at least when it comes to religion, you do get an awful lot of things wrong, and it is these details that ultimately lead to your own demise. Take the Extreme Elimination Chamber for instance… you thought put me on a cross was enough, were you right? No, you’ve admitted it since that I’m much more of a man than you gave me credit for, and yet here you are agreeing with Caroline. Again, that’s either stupidity, or it’s ignorance. So, no Solomon, I don’t share the same assessment you share of yourself, and I’ll always bring it up. Because when it matters, when it TRULY matters, you never get it done. Oh, and fuck you Solomon, seriously fuck you. You had a choice and it had nothing to do with the imaginary voices in your head. You took it to me, because you saw me as a soft touch. The same soft touch Caroline is counting on me being at Grand Rampage. You had to give me that crown and crucify me… alright fucknuts, I’ll bite. I have to fuck you up for what you did to Beth. Is that clear enough to you and your ‘God’ Solomon? You don’t like me? Shucks, what am I to do? I don’t give a flying fuck if you like me or not and do you know why? It doesn’t matter to me. You are only on my radar because you were stupid enough to put yourself there. Bad shave… that’s funny Solomon. When I’m through with you, there will be no place where hair will ever grow again, no skin for it to thrive. There is no way you escape from this Solomon. None. And this wasn’t brought on by God, this is all YOUR doing, and thus, you shall be punished. Again, not be some deity, but by Bethany Blue and Adam LUCAS.
And you know what, I think the last part of your promo shows me that you are FINALLY starting to get that.
See, I’m a firm believer that I will never have everyone like me, there aren’t many people alive that can ever say that. There is always going to be someone that you are going to piss off no matter how much you try not to. After this weekend, there are going to be a few more who don’t care for me, because I’ll no longer be the symbol for what they stand for. And that’s ok. So, if you do hate me, then fine. Drop the testament for a while and tell it like it is. But at least have some legitimacy behind your reasonings. Reading between the lines, you find it hard not to hate me because I’m ‘ungrateful’ and ‘full of myself’… that right? Then please, please explain to me how you came to this conclusion, considering that I have more than given you, and everyone else in this match their dues. I’ve never said this match is a foregone conclusion, though your partner has dreamed up that I did. I haven’t hidden from the fact that you and Caroline stripped me bare placing Beth on that cross and made me feel weaker than I have in my entire life. As for ungratefulness, the fact I am only now being this way and have MORE than verbalized my thanks for this company taking a chance on me, well it just shows how pathetic a statement it is to make. But you make it because you want legitimacy. You want your reasonings to be sound and thus make it as vague as you can. Dude, point is I don’t need you to explain a damn thing to me. You made it clear the moment you put me, and Beth on that cross that you don’t like us. The moment you did that, emotion became irrelevant, and it was all about what happened next.
So, what does happen next?
Two weeks ago, you beat me due to my wife’s interference, and bravo, applause and fanfare please, you finally got something right because no, that doesn’t matter. Yeah, Beth thought I was going to lose, and you know what, they stung me a little and certainly a lot more than any punishment you inflicted on me, but it is what it is. I’m glad you didn’t place any bearing on it, and I’m happy that you got some kind of amusement out of it. But do you know what I also got? This whole ‘Rocky’ montage you just put in my brain of you running through the snowy alps with a tree trunk on your back. Training ‘harder than ever before’. This isn’t about ability, or technique Solomon. It’s not about strength or ideologies. I’ll tell you who you are Solomon, you don’t need ‘God’ talking down to you. You’re the EXACT same prick I faced in the Elimination Chamber, but now with someone else pulling the strings… it’s as simple as that. The minute we cut those strings; the puppet master will run away. You know it. Then you’ll find out EXACTLY what you should have been preparing for when you were doing a few extra burpees. You should have been preparing for a Dr. Bethany Blue that no longer wants to just put a ‘W’ in the win column, but who now wants to end you once and for all. You should have been preparing not for this ‘image’ of weakness that Caroline has put in your head, but for the man who tore himself off that cross and overcame you and five others for a shiny gold belt. I said this once before, but it was predictably ignored, but if I fight that hard for a championship, how far will I go for the one person most important to me? The person I would happily give my life to at Grand Rampage. That is BOTH your issues, you have NEVER considered the most impact fact of all. That Adam LUCAS would dive to the depths of hell, take the devil and rip his fucking head off if he wronged my Beth. You think I won’t end the careers of two very replaceable cunts if need be? BOTH of you haven’t opened your eyes. BOTH of you have failed to see this situation for what it is. It is I who have been overlooked, the person who apparently doesn’t belong in this environment. Believe that. Hold it close. Stay with that narrative and one that course. It’s all good.”
(Adam nods his head, maintaining his glare down the camera lens.)
“I belong in ANY environment I chose to inhabit. Whether you believe me or not, really isn’t my concern, and nor is it, Beth’s. Time will furnish you both with that belief. But by then, it will be too late. For BOTH of you.”
(Adam looks away from camera, as the scene slowly fades.)
