In the lower right corner of the screen, we see the caption AFTER THE SHOW as the camera fades in to the Bastardo Family's collective locker room. Seated on wooden benches, from left to right, are a tearful Nuriko, an infuriated Senor Perdicion and El Daga, a nervous Louie Bastardo, a stoic Two-Ton Tommy, and a deviously grinning James Fantastic, who is proudly cradling his cherished cricket bat. Camera abruptly pans toward the locker room doorway as Chris Oakley strides into the locker room.

CHRIS: Okay, folks, I think you all know why I called this little soiree. King Snarf is no longer suited to lead the Bastardo Family--especially after what happened tonight in the Six-Man Tag Match.
LOUIE (grins weakly): Uh, heh heh, champ, don't you think you're being a little hasty?

Los Monstruos Azules both angrily jump to their feet.

SENOR PERDICION: Senor Oakley is right! Senor Snarf no longer deserves the honor of being the leader of our team!!
EL DAGA: Senor Bastardo, we said that your enemies were our enemies...and Senor Snarf has proven himself to be your greatest enemy of all by the disrespectful way he has treated Senor Fantastic!!
JAMES FANTASTIC: Bloody damn right!! Snarf's a total bleedin' wanker! And he ought to be kicked out on his arse!!! When me and me mates Oakley and Two-Ton Tommy needed his help, where the bleedin' hell was he?!! BLEEDIN' NOWHERE, THAT'S WHERE!!!!

Louie starts to answer Fantastic, but Nuriko, in an uncharacteristic burst of defiance, cuts him off in mid-sentence.

NURIKO: Bastardo-san, surely you cannot let Snarf-san's rude and insolent behavior go unpunished! He has brought shame and dishonor to us all! And if he is not made to see the error of his ways soon, our great organization will never be taken seriously again!!

Louie stares at Nuriko in total disbelief;before he can think of a suitable response, Two-Ton Tommy whips off his sunglasses and gives the manager a frosty, Undertaker-like glare.

TOMMY: You gotta make a choice, Louie. Either you stand up for our crew and send Snarf packing, or we find ourselves a new manager.
CHRIS: We don't want to fire you, Louie, we really don't. But there comes a time when the team leader faces the test of will and he's asked to step up and meet it if he wants to have anyone's respect....and the truth is, Snarf has failed that test miserably. If you don't have the guts to deal with him, we'll find somebody who does.

With that, Chris and his fellow Bastardo Family members turn around and walk off;Louie stands there as if frozen to the spot, eyes wide open and jaw hanging slack as he struggles to figure out what to do next about the situation. Camera fades to black.
