(The church has now filled and Karlie has lowered her head.)
Karlie: Let us pray.
Karlie: Let us pray.
(....Meanwhile, on the other side of town at the Grand Marais cemetery. The only light is from the full moon and the only sound we hear are the crickets, twigs snapping, and an occasional dog bark. Vespertine stands on a pile of dirt, in her hand is a shovel and in front of her is an open grave.
Ves: I could talk about the 7 deadly sins. But Karlie already talked about Lust. And we're called Envy so we got 2 of the 7 covered. I would rather talk about the elephants in the room.
(She starts and every time she starts a sentence with "Do you realize" she shovels dirt into the open grave in front of her)
Ves: Addy, Sara, let's talk about the elephants in the room. Do you realize that you are trying to claim the title of Queens for a division that has long since died and has no chance of resurrection. Not for the foreseeable future.
(Pauses, shovels)
Do you realize, Pettis, that when you rode the coat tails of your husband, Ragin Dead, he was a great man and a great champion. But behind him, there was YOU. And because there was you, his legacy died along with the Cruiserweight division and his material form. You have done nothing since then but get behind your father and your daughter. There is no room for you in that.... menage e tois.
(pauses)
Do you realize that all you two are, are just cookie cutter versions of each other. Addy and Sara, Raven headed beauties both of you. Overly sexualized the both of you, overly violent both of you. Both of you have very little brains. It's great if you want to become a tag team but that right there is the reason you won't be able to beat us. Thinking alike, like the cookie cutters you are is not the same as knowing what you and your partner knows and anticipating what the other will do next.
(pauses)
Do you realize Addy that you are nothing but a sidekick. You were a sidekick to Lissie Hope, you are now a sidekick to Sara Pettis. You won't get the spotlight because this is all about Pettis. She doesn't care about you, only the good times you had in Mexico. All she wants is to get back in the ring and become better than what she was.... at the expense of your career. That's all you'll ever be, Addy, my sweet. Just a stepping stone to others. What happened when you and Lissie broke up. Lissie went on to become the World Champion and you vanished into the shadows claiming you had business in Mexico to take care of. Sure.
(pauses)
Do you realize that in the space of a month, Envy has attacked you twice and no reciprocation was forthcoming. What does this mean for our match on Monday? I don't believe you will back down or give up. What I DO believe is that either of you aren't as dangerous as you claim to be. You had your chance at reciprocation, at attacking us at Havoc and you let it slip through your fingers. We didn't. We showed the world, the kind of tag team that Envy is. Like us or not. We beat the Aerial Assassins easily. And just as easily we will beat.... YOU.
(pauses)
We are equals. In everything we do. Because we are the best at what we do. I am the race car, she is the tank. She is the heavyweight at 5 feet 11 inches. I am the flyer at 5 feet 5 inches. You have seen us beat Zmac and Hotaka. You have seen us beat Aerial Assassins. There is no reality where you will be able to beat us. We fight and we stand together. If we go down, we go down together. Together, you will feel death... by.... Diva.....
(She points a flashlight at the headstone. It reads: "Here lie The Queens of Cruiserclash. Adelaide Addison and Sarah Pettis. RIP.")
