SDS: What's this about?
DS: It must be Miss Manila. I hear she's smoking! Hope she joins us...
SDS (tries to smack him, only to hit something hard): OW! What?
DS (Pulls off hat and wig to reveal a helmet): HA! I was ready for you!
One of the back doors of the pops opens and out walks the tall, tanned and shredded gangster known as...
SDS: It's Vito Montani!
The crowd inside pops loudly.
SDS: The number 1 contender to the World Dominion Championship is in Manila!
DS: How'd they let this criminal terrorist palhaço over the border?
SDS: That police escort should tell you everything.
Montani (pulls out his duffel bag and suitcase, sniffing the air with a smirk): So dis is da famous Mall, huh? (looks at guards) Not exactly da welcomin' committee I was lookin' fer.
Reed: Take his bag and search him.
Montani (holding up a hand): Hey, yo, dat ain't necessary. I only brought da essentials, alright?
Reed (approaches): No one asked ya.
Montani (frowns): And who de hell are you?
The African-American from Chicago, at 2.08 metres and 175 kilos, gets right in the face of a 2-metre, 120-kilo Italian-American from New Jersey.
Reed (scrunches up nose): I'm about to be your worst nightmare, pretty boy.
Montani (narrows eyes): Is dat right?
DS: Tch. Can't take this punk anywhere?
The cops immediately get out of their cars. Before anything else can happen, the voice of the General Manager is heard.
Jeffrey Campbell: Vito, I swear on me life, I'll chuck ya right back across the pond!
Campbell cuts through the guards, wearing his signature white hat, only this time wearing a light pink button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up. He walks up to Vito with his hands on his hips.
Montani: Yo, whaddup, boss! How ya doin'? Heard things got a lil' outta hand last week, yeah?
Campbell: That's a bit of an understatement, cobber. Now, I reckon Cyrus here told ya to cough up your bags.
Montani: Alright, alright. (drops bag and suitcase) Was just testin' the waters, is all. I've been out a minute, ya know what I'm sayin'?
The guards take the bag and suitcase and open them up.
Reed: You're testin' my patience, and I got very little.
Montani (looks at him): Cyrus, right? (squints) I'll remember that.
Campbell: Vito, listen up, mate. Any funny business and you're in proper shit.
Montani (holds up both hands): Forget about it.
Campbell (turns and walks inside): Wish I could, mate, heaps.
Montani moves to follow, but Reed puts a hand on his chest and shoves him back.
Reed: You ain't been searched yet.
Montani glares at the smirking giant as the other guards begin patting him down.
SDS: It's going to be a long night, but it's time to start the show!
