The absent are always in the wrong.
-English proverb
The scene opens with Thunder in the living room of his mansion sitting on his leather couch. In one hand is the remote controller, in the other a glass of red wine. The TV he is out of view, but the sound indicates a football game is on. Suddenly, there is a knock at the door. Thunder sets the remote and wine down on the table, pulls out his cell phone, and makes a call.
Someone’s at the door. Come see who it is.
Thunder quickly hangs up. A few seconds later, the maid enters the room. She flashes him an angry look, but she looks through the peep-hole.
It’s some woman.
Open the door to see if I recognize her.
The maid opens the door. On the other side is a woman in her early 30s wearing a black trench coat. She waves to Thunder.
You look vaguely familiar, who are you?
You don’t remember me?
If I knew would I have asked?
I see you still have the same attitude. I was your maid a few months ago, remember?
Oh yeah, you’re the one that thought you had a chance a college, that somehow going to some university would turn your life around.
Yes, that’s me.
Well, since you’re here, that must mean you were too stupid to make it.
No, it’s going quite well. It’s just that—
Thunder cuts her off.
Just say whatever it is, I’m smart enough to know when people want something.
Well, I’ve kind of hit a road block financially, so I was wondering if there was any way I could come back as a maid or do some other work around the house.
So you thought you could just leave, come back whenever, and expect me to welcome you with open arms?
I was hoping—
Once again, she is cut off by Thunder.
I’m crushing those hopes right now. You should know that once you walked out that door, you’re never welcome again. If there’s one thing I hate more than anyone else, it’s someone who leaves, returns, and thinks that everyone should greatly care about them being back. Understand?
She opens her mouth to speak, but Thunder stops her before she says a single word.
What was I thinking? You probably need me to give an example for you to understand. You do know what an example is don’t you?
Thunder’s former maid is clearly getting angry. She tries to speak again, but is cut off once more.
You didn’t answer, so must not know. I don’t feel like it explaining it, so I’ll just give you the example.
At this week’s Felo-De-Se, I’m facing Ganador. Just like you, he left behind what paid him. Now he’s crawling back to WFWF and is acting like this is such a great thing. Hell, it’s even being billed as a “special appearance”. There’s nothing special about someone crawling back to a place from their past for another shot at glory. Ganador was never worth anything, now and then. I’ve been chosen to be his opponent, and he will regret that decision. I’m should going to send him back to wherever it was he has been, and I am about to do the same to you. Maid, get her out of my sight now.
The maid doesn’t move.
I said, get her out of here!
Noticing his anger, she removes the woman from the house.
You should have helped her out in some way.
Shut up or you’ll be out there with her.
The maid doesn’t even try to say anything; she just sighs and walks away. Thunder takes a drink of wine and continues watching TV as the scene fades.
They are good that are away.
