We have no scene, just a lone, brave RIG approaching Chapel Hillcrest on the street for an interview!
[RIG:] Mr. Hillcrest, Mr. Hillcrest! Have you heard Gene Starr's latest interview and the statements he made about you?
[Chapel:] Yes.
awkward silence.
[RIG:] Er... could you comment on it?
[Chapel:] Sure. Sure, I could. I feel sorry for the poor guy, thinking he was gonna get the heroes welcome when he came back and just little ol' me got the red carpet rolled out for him. Makes a man think about his WORTH, and y'know it, he challenged it.
[RIG:] Your worth?
[Chapel:] Sure. I can even tell you it: $32,500. Sure, Gene's a CHAMPION, but I got a dollar figure, and even more than that, I'm pretty good at what I get paid to do.
[RIG:] What's that?
[Chapel:] Solve problems. I had a problem, and I solved it - maybe Gene doesn't care how, but the fact is I did. And now, I'm gonna solve new problems; not problems like "What is delicious?" because that falls within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems: My new problem is... well, its that I'm selfish.
I want some attention; and now that I'm back, I'm going to get it the way I know how: by figuratively grinding someone's beee-hind into a superfluous mass. Me, I was gonna live the dream and start with Colleen, but Gene's such a gentlemen, he volunteered to be the first.
Because, y'know what?
[RIG:] No, what?
[Chapel:] The Upper Class Connection, all we really want is everything.
END.
