The B.R.A.T. Has Come
We open up outside of a well known nightclub in L.A. You can tell by the long line of people waiting to get in that this is the place to be tonight. The bouncer a man of incredible size stands at the entrance keeping people roped off from the inside.
This is mostly true as occasionally an attractive young thing wearing practically nothing is granted access. The groans of the crowd let you know of their disapproval of this oft used practice.
Over at the curb there are parking attendants waiting to catch a glimpse of a celebrity or a nice tip. All they can do in scramble out the way as a car costing more then they make in four years screeches to a stop in front of them.
A man steps out of the car. He is dressed in the latest fashions. From the shoes on his feet to the sunglasses on his face, everything is top of the line. In his mind all eyes are on him. Why wouldn't they be? He flips his keys to one of the parking attendants.
The man doesn't get in line. He walks right up to the door. As he tries to enter to grazes the bouncer. The human stone wall takes exception to this and grabs the young man by the shit and pushes him back. Oh no he didn't...
Landen Dalmon
Did you just put your hands on me? I can't believe that YOU think it's ok to put your hands on me. You must not value your job. If you did, you would have never made the biggest mistake of your life!
The bouncer looks at him with nothing more than a look of annoyance on his face.
Landen Dalmon
You don't even realize what you've done do you?
I'm Landen Dalmon!
You just put your hands on one of the WEALTHIEST, BEST LOOKING, and WELL KNOWN men in the world!
Don't pretend you don't know who I am!
I'm the son of the GREAT Jack Dalmon!
The Bouncer
I don't care who you are. No one gets through this door unless I say so! Why don't you go wait in line with everyone else. If you are lucky you might see the inside tonight.
Landen Dalmon
You don't seem to get it do you? No one tells me what to do! If I want something I don't ask for it, I take it!
I'm a DALMON damn it!
Here is how this is going to go. I'm going to take off my sunglasses, and you are going to look me in the eyes and apologize. Then you are going to kiss my ass just like everyone else, because it's what I deserve!
When I am satisfied you can go back to your meaningless existence. If you are lucky I might even let you keep your job.
Landen Dalmon removes his sunglasses and tucks them in the collar of his shirt. He then walks up to the bouncer and stares into his eyes, waiting for his apology.
Instead of “I'm Sorry” the bouncer grabs Landen by his shirt and pushes him back. This almost causes the young man to fall to the ground. This won't stand.
Landen Dalmon
You son of a...
Just then the manager of the club makes his way outside. Having heard there was a commotion he wanted to check it out for himself. What he sees is his bouncer and Landen Dalmon ready to go toe to toe.
Club Owner
Lamont! What the hell are you doing?
This is Landen Dalmon. He is one of our VIPs.
It isn't going to work out for you here. I'm going to have to ask you to leave Lamont.
I'm so sorry about this Mr. Dalmon.
Landen Dalmon
You should be!
What kind of people are you hiring around here? I have half a mind to go elsewhere, and tell my friends just what kind of dive you are running.
Club Owner
Landen, I mean Mr. Dalmon. I'm sure we can come to some sort of agreement on compensation. How about free drinks all night long?
This hardly impresses him.
Club Owner
Um...how about...
The club owner whispers something in Landen's ear that brings a smile to his face. He then waves for a couple of very attractive ladies to make their way outside. Each of the women take their places on either side of Landen to escort him in. The young Dalmon makes his way inside with a huge smirk on his face and just a bit of arrogance.
Landen or Landon?
We see a limousine pulling up to an average California house is an average California neighborhood. It's like one of those one you see on TV and in moves. Not those rich neighborhoods, but you know, not the poorest either. I think you get what I mean. Landon Dalmon steps out of course and makes his way up the drive way.
Lamont
What the hell are you doing here?
The large former bouncer rushes from the house to meet him. Landon looks around surprised to see the neighborhood is not as “ghetto” as he expected it would be.
Lamont
Answer little man...there is no one stopping me from stomping a hole in your ass.
Landon Dalmon
Ah! That's the fire I was looking for big man.
The large mass of man takes a step toward him, but Landon doesn't back down.
Landon Dalmon
Woah! I'm here to discuss a business matter. I think you should hear me out.
Lamont nods as to say make it quick, I'm listening.
Landon Dalmon
I feel like it might be just a little bit my fault that you lost your job. So I'm hear to offer you a new one. I'm in need of someone to make sure I'm safe when I'm dealing with the VWS riff raff.
Lamont
You want me to be your bodyguard?
Landon Dalmon
That's absurd. I can take of myself. I just know from being a member of the great Dalmon family people are out to get me.
Lamont
Whatever you want to call it...I'm not interested.
Landon Dalmon
I would pay you very well.
Lamont
I said I wasn't interested.
Time is up and Lamont takes another step toward Landon Dalmon.
Landon Dalmon
Just think about it. I mean it could help out with the expenses for you mom and your twelve sisters and brothers.
As he moves quickly to the awaiting limousine he drops a business card on the ground. Once inside the vehicle speeds away. Lamont picks up the card and looks at it.
Lamont
I'm an only child. Crazy, rich asshole.
It isn't home but a penthouse suite at a Las Vegas casino is a pretty nice getaway. When you are a Dalmon you are treated to the finest things in life. But it can be lonely in a city all by yourself. It's a good thing there is no shortage of lovely young ladies to keep Landon Dalmon occupied.
Landon walks into one the suites many bedrooms and see a young blonde woman still asleep under the covers. He smiles to himself and then jumps on top of him waking her up in the process.
Woman
Ugh! It's too early...
Landon Dalmon
I need to spend some time wrestling with a woman.
Woman
Can't you get one of your tricks to do that? Those girls will do anything for money.
Landon Dalmon
You mean your not one of those girls who would do anything for money?
Woman
You wish brother...
This doesn't stop him and he begins to pull the blankets off of her.
Woman
Stop! I'm not wearing anything under here.
He finally gives up.
Landon Dalmon
You're no fun Lizzy.
Lizzy Dalmon
We both know that isn't true. Now why don't you get out of here so I can get out of bed.
Landon Dalmon
It isn't anything I haven't seen before.
She sits up still wrapped in the blankets and gives her brother a kiss on the cheek.
Lizzy Dalmon
It looks like you could use a little alone time yourself.
Two Of Them
Landon Dalmon finally has one in the win column. It was a tough match against the brother/sister duo of Mike and Danielle Bradley. In the end his team came out on top. There could be some critics out there that say “Dalmon didn't get the fall”. That is technically true, but that W is there nonetheless.
Jack Dalmon's only son isn't without his bumps and bruises. He had hoped to hit the pool and relax but his body is being stubborn. Even the drinks he's had this morning do little to take the edge off. Mixing them with his favorite pain med cocktail didn't do the trick either.
So now he lays on his bed face down dressed in his swim trunks. He is hoping eventually he will be able to pull himself up so he can enjoy his day. After all, he's a Dalmon, it's his birthright.
As he lay there his sister Lizzy enters his room. She is dressed in a bikini that is probably a size or two too small. But when you have the body of a goddess...no wait! A Dalmon! It's something you want to show off.
Lizzy Dalmon
Get up! I want to get down to the pool and check out the hot guys.
Landon Dalmon
You do know it's a private pool?
Lizzy Dalmon
Of course I do. Do you think I would swim in a public pool? That's disgusting. I had daddy hire some top notch male models to wait on me hand and foot.
Landon Dalmon
Just what I want to see. A bunch of dongs everywhere. Did dear old daddy hire any female models?
Lizzy looks and him and frowns.
Lizzy Dalmon
No.
She then smiles at him.
Lizzy Dalmon
But I'll be there!
Landon Dalmon
It doesn't matter anyway. I don't think I'll be going anyway. I'm sore. I might see if I can find a decent place to get a massage.
Lizzy Dalmon
I can do that for you silly.
She scurries quickly to the bed and climbs on the back of her brother. Lizzy then starts to bounce on his back.
Landon Dalmon
I don't think that is helping.
Lizzy Dalmon
I was just having a little fun.
She then starts to rub her brother's shoulders, massaging them.
Lizzy Dalmon
You're pretty stiff...
Landon Dalmon
Yeah well,...
Lizzy Dalmon
You're muscles are so tense.
Landon Dalmon
That's what I get for having to carry my partner.
Lizzy Dalmon
Isn't she the won who got the win for your team?
Landon Dalmon
Yes. But you have to remember, I've been known to give to charity every so often.
As she continues to massage his shoulders Landon lets out a moan.
Lizzy Dalmon
Feels good doesn't it?
All he can do is shake his head.
Lizzy Dalmon
So about this wrestling thing. Don't some of them have hot chicks who come to the ring with them?
Landon Dalmon
Sure. Though I haven't seen any yet.
Lizzy Dalmon
I was thinking, maybe I could come to the ring with you. I could be your hot chick.
Landon Dalmon
I don't think it's usually their sisters who accompany them.
Lizzy Dalmon
Probably because they never had a sister as sexy as me.
Landon Dalmon
Probably not.
Lizzy Dalmon
I think we should do it.
Landon Dalmon
I don't know if you are cut out for the wrestling business sis.
Lizzy Dalmon
I'll show you...
She stops the massage and wraps her arms around her brother grappling with him. He tries to fight back but finds it difficult as he is facing away from her. Landon finally is able to get on to his back but this is when Lizzy pins him to the bed. He tries to sit up but she pins him to the bed again. As she presses her weight on his their faces our inches apart. They just stare at each other for a moment.
Lizzy Dalmon
No fair! You're poking me!
She hops off the bed and starts to head for the door.
Lizzy Dalmon
I told you I could wrestle.
She flashes him a smile and bounces away leaving Landon laying there alone.
There is a lot at stake in his match with Johnny Gillmen, Landon knows this. But anything he has ever tried has always come naturally. Why should wrestling be any different? When he looks at himself in the mirror he knows he is perfection. The VWS is his for the taking. Literally. He could buy the place if he was inclined to do so.
His team of experts try to tell him he needs to spend time in the ring honing his craft. That's the way you are supposed to do it. Look at the VWS roster. It's filled with poster boys for hard work. That isn't and never will be Landon Dalmon. It doesn't have to be.
He would much rather spend his days relaxing, drinking, show multiple ladies a good time. Those are the things he values. Some would say that means he isn't taking the wrestling business seriously. Those people are wrong. All he is doing is using what he knows to be the best he can be? How is that any different?
He is getting increasingly frustrated with the snubbing the big bouncer Lamont is giving him. That isn't something he is used to. He tried to give the man a better life for him and his family, and the ungrateful bastard basically spat in his face.
If he doesn't want to be part of something special...
Landon Dalmon
I love Las Vegas! The rich get richer!
What is the point of coming to Vegas if you aren't going to do a little gambling. Though Landon is finding the high roller room a bit of false advertising. But when you are a Dalmon you're always a step above.
His game is poker and he is doing quite well. What did you expect?
A Rotund Rich Man
This is some bullshit. This kid is cheating...doesn't anyone else see it?
He isn't cheating. He doesn't have to. Even if he were...who would question the integrity of a Dalmon?
Landon Dalmon
I can't help it if the heart of the cards isn't on your side pops.
This makes the older gentleman visibly flustered. This is when Landon makes his move. You see there is a young thing accompanying the man that Landon wants to get a piece of.
Landon Dalmon
I will tell you what. I'm a fair man. Why don't we go heads up? One hand...for a million dollars!
A Rotund Rich Man
I don't have that on me. You've practically cleaned me out.
Landon Dalmon
That's fine. How about I put up the million, and you put up an anything goes night with your wife?
A Rotund Rich Man
This is my daughter!
Landon Dalmon
Even better...
This makes the man/whale hybrid want to punch Landon in the face. He thinks better of it and turns to his daughter who is shaking her head no.
A Rotund Rich Man
C'mon honey...I know I can beat him. When I do, I'll get you that car you wanted.
She grudgingly agrees. The dealer deals the cards and well I could bore you with the details, but we all know what happens next.
Royal Flush!
Landon Dalmon
Sorry pops. You should have known better.
Landon gathers up his winnings and then takes his prize by the arm.
Landon Dalmon
If you're a good girl, I'll get you the car your no good daddy can't afford.
This brings a smile to her face.
Landon Dalmon
We just have to see if you handle a stick shift.
Your Champion
With Uprising face approaching Landon Dalmon is trying to make plans to ensure he walks out of Madison Square Garden as VWS Velocity champion. It's true he could win it on talent alone, but you never know when someone might try to sabotage him out a jealousy. That's why it pays to have a backup plan.
That's why Landon is once again reaching out to the less fortunate. As he drives through the neighborhood he visited just a couple of weeks ago he stares out the window. He sees nice homes and neatly trimmed grass. How can people live like this?
Lizzy Dalmon
I think the driver made a wrong turn.
Landon Dalmon
No this is where we need to go.
After a few more turns the car approaches the house of Lamont, the former bouncer turned unemployment line regular.
Landon exits the car and makes his way toward the door. Just like before he is met by Lamont before he can get up the driveway.
Landon Dalmon
I'm growing very impatient with you! Do you know how many people would jump at the opportunity I'm giving you? I have half a mind to pull the offer from the table.
Lamont
I thought I told you before that I wasn't interested. Showing up here in your luxury cars and designer clothes isn't going to change anything. Just because you throw money at someone isn't going to make them do whatever you want.
Landon Dalmon
Lets test that...
He reaches into his jeans and pulls out a wallet. The wallet can barely contain the wealth inside. He pulls out a large wad of hundred dollar bills and throws them into the face of the large black man. It takes a lot of restraint for him not to retaliate.
Lamont
You know that you're trespassing. If I were to “defend” myself by bashing your face in I'm pretty sure the courts wouldn't hold me responsible.
Landon Dalmon
You have me all wrong! I'm trying to make things right. You're being selfish. What is it going to take? Girls?
He motions to the car and Lizzy Dalmon exits. If their were any paparazzi around they would have been able to pay their rent for the next couple of months.
Lamont
Are you offering me her? Isn't she your sister?
Landon looks at him like he's crazy.
Landon Dalmon
You sleep with Lizzy Dalmon! Your drug problem must be worse than I could imagine. You don't get the good stuff here.
Again the arrogant Dalmon tries the patience of Lamont.
Landon Dalmon
When you are a Dalmon people will do ANYTHING to stay in good standing with you. My sister has plenty of model and actress friends who could show you a good time. They are average people, but still a step up above yourself.
Lizzy approaches and whispers something in Landon's ear.
Landon Dalmon
If you want to know that you can ask him yourself...
She gives her brother a pout and then heads back toward the car.
Lamont
Look you really need to leave and NEVER come back. I'm serious. Next time I won't be so nice
Landon Dalmon
Don't say I didn't try...but before I go I want you to have this.
Landon pulls an envelope from the inside of his sports coat and hands in to Lamont.
Landon Dalmon
In case you change your mind. Oh, and keep the money. Consider it the first step to a new life.
Lamont
Go...
Landon Dalmon makes his way to the car and enters. The car speeds away leaving Lamont standing there holding the envelope. He opens it and finds a first class ticket to New York City.
When traveling across the country there are many different means you can take. You can take a car, a train, a plane. If you are low class like Johnny Gillmen you can even travel by RV.
But...
When you are The Dalmons you travel by private jet.
That's how Landon and his sister Lizzy arrived earlier this week. New York is the place to be and everyone is a buzz about VWS Uprising. Are they talking about the main event triple threat match?
No...
Do they care who will be the first ever Ana Valentine blah blah blah champion?
AS if...
All focus is on where the after party will be when Landon Dalmon wins the Velocity championship.
If you were expecting me to tell you here? Well that isn't going to happen. I can assure you, you're not at the guest list.
Landon Dalmon
What's the matter sis? I thought you loved New York?
Lizzy Dalmon
I would prefer it to be a little warmer. I miss the sunshine of California.
Landon Dalmon
We were just there yesterday. Besides my victory party isn't going to be in California. It's going to be here. It's going to be amazing.
Lizzy Dalmon
Yeah, I bet you can't wait to have girls falling all over you.
Landon Dalmon
It's expected. I plan and partying pretty hard and if there are some lucky ladies who want to go along for the ride, the more the merrier.
He flashes a cocky smirk to his sister as he thinks about all the fun he is going to have.
Lizzy Dalmon
Just make sure you aren't so out of it you don't cover up Landon Jr. I don't want any gold digging whores honing in on our inheritance.
Landon Dalmon
That's why girls have mouth dear sister of mine.
She playfully punches him on the shoulder.
Lizzy Dalmon
Can we get back to doing what we came here to do?
Landon Dalmon
I say lets get the most expensive stuff we can. There is no price tag on my celebration!
As they continue to look over bottles of champagne Landon grabs one and shakes it up a bit. He then starts to mess with the cork.
Lizzy Dalmon
Shouldn't we wait until you actually win before we pop the top on one of those?
Landon Dalmon
It's a lock, plus I want to taste what I'm buying.
As he continues to struggle with the bottle Lizzy gets a phone call. She digs through her purse and grabs the phone. Well she meant to grab it but it slipped out of her hands and onto the floor. She kneels down on the floor looking for her phone and the cork of the champagne bottle whizzes past her head.
Lizzy Dalmon
Got it...
As she tries to tell her brother the phone is safely back in her possession she is met with a thick stream of the bubbly. It hits her in the face and all over her dress. Landon holds the bottle up to his lips and takes a sip. He then notices his sister drenched at his feet.
Lizzy Dalmon
Thanks a lot! That's the second dress you ruined today!
He helps her to her feet and passes her the bottle.
Lizzy Dalmon
No thanks. I think I had a taste when it shot off in my mouth.
We open up outside of a well known nightclub in L.A. You can tell by the long line of people waiting to get in that this is the place to be tonight. The bouncer a man of incredible size stands at the entrance keeping people roped off from the inside.

The man doesn't get in line. He walks right up to the door. As he tries to enter to grazes the bouncer. The human stone wall takes exception to this and grabs the young man by the shit and pushes him back. Oh no he didn't...
Landen Dalmon
Did you just put your hands on me? I can't believe that YOU think it's ok to put your hands on me. You must not value your job. If you did, you would have never made the biggest mistake of your life!
The bouncer looks at him with nothing more than a look of annoyance on his face.
Landen Dalmon
You don't even realize what you've done do you?
I'm Landen Dalmon!

As she presses her weight on his their faces our inches apart. They just stare at each other for a moment.
Lizzy Dalmon
No fair! You're poking me!
She hops off the bed and starts to head for the door.
Lizzy Dalmon
I told you I could wrestle.
She flashes him a smile and bounces away leaving Landon laying there alone.
There is a lot at stake in his match with Johnny Gillmen, Landon knows this. But anything he has ever tried has always come naturally. Why should wrestling be any different? When he looks at himself in the mirror he knows he is perfection. The VWS is his for the taking. Literally. He could buy the place if he was inclined to do so.
His team of experts try to tell him he needs to spend time in the ring honing his craft. That's the way you are supposed to do it. Look at the VWS roster. It's filled with poster boys for hard work. That isn't and never will be Landon Dalmon. It doesn't have to be.
He would much rather spend his days relaxing, drinking, show multiple ladies a good time. Those are the things he values. Some would say that means he isn't taking the wrestling business seriously. Those people are wrong. All he is doing is using what he knows to be the best he can be? How is that any different?
He is getting increasingly frustrated with the snubbing the big bouncer Lamont is giving him. That isn't something he is used to. He tried to give the man a better life for him and his family, and the ungrateful bastard basically spat in his face.
If he doesn't want to be part of something special...
Landon Dalmon
I love Las Vegas! The rich get richer!
What is the point of coming to Vegas if you aren't going to do a little gambling. Though Landon is finding the high roller room a bit of false advertising. But when you are a Dalmon you're always a step above.
His game is poker and he is doing quite well. What did you expect?
A Rotund Rich Man
This is some bullshit. This kid is cheating...doesn't anyone else see it?
He isn't cheating. He doesn't have to. Even if he were...who would question the integrity of a Dalmon?
Landon Dalmon
I can't help it if the heart of the cards isn't on your side pops.
This makes the older gentleman visibly flustered. This is when Landon makes his move. You see there is a young thing accompanying the man that Landon wants to get a piece of.
Landon Dalmon
I will tell you what. I'm a fair man. Why don't we go heads up? One hand...for a million dollars!
A Rotund Rich Man
I don't have that on me. You've practically cleaned me out.
Landon Dalmon
That's fine. How about I put up the million, and you put up an anything goes night with your wife?
A Rotund Rich Man
This is my daughter!
Landon Dalmon
Even better...
This makes the man/whale hybrid want to punch Landon in the face. He thinks better of it and turns to his daughter who is shaking her head no.
A Rotund Rich Man
C'mon honey...I know I can beat him. When I do, I'll get you that car you wanted.
She grudgingly agrees. The dealer deals the cards and well I could bore you with the details, but we all know what happens next.
Royal Flush!
Landon Dalmon
Sorry pops. You should have known better.
Landon gathers up his winnings and then takes his prize by the arm.
Landon Dalmon
If you're a good girl, I'll get you the car your no good daddy can't afford.
This brings a smile to her face.
Landon Dalmon
We just have to see if you handle a stick shift.
Your Champion
With Uprising face approaching Landon Dalmon is trying to make plans to ensure he walks out of Madison Square Garden as VWS Velocity champion. It's true he could win it on talent alone, but you never know when someone might try to sabotage him out a jealousy. That's why it pays to have a backup plan.
That's why Landon is once again reaching out to the less fortunate. As he drives through the neighborhood he visited just a couple of weeks ago he stares out the window. He sees nice homes and neatly trimmed grass. How can people live like this?
Lizzy Dalmon
I think the driver made a wrong turn.
Landon Dalmon
No this is where we need to go.
After a few more turns the car approaches the house of Lamont, the former bouncer turned unemployment line regular.
Landon exits the car and makes his way toward the door. Just like before he is met by Lamont before he can get up the driveway.
Landon Dalmon
I'm growing very impatient with you! Do you know how many people would jump at the opportunity I'm giving you? I have half a mind to pull the offer from the table.
Lamont
I thought I told you before that I wasn't interested. Showing up here in your luxury cars and designer clothes isn't going to change anything. Just because you throw money at someone isn't going to make them do whatever you want.
Landon Dalmon
Lets test that...
He reaches into his jeans and pulls out a wallet. The wallet can barely contain the wealth inside. He pulls out a large wad of hundred dollar bills and throws them into the face of the large black man. It takes a lot of restraint for him not to retaliate.
Lamont
You know that you're trespassing. If I were to “defend” myself by bashing your face in I'm pretty sure the courts wouldn't hold me responsible.
Landon Dalmon
You have me all wrong! I'm trying to make things right. You're being selfish. What is it going to take? Girls?
He motions to the car and Lizzy Dalmon exits. If their were any paparazzi around they would have been able to pay their rent for the next couple of months.
Lamont
Are you offering me her? Isn't she your sister?
Landon looks at him like he's crazy.
Landon Dalmon
You sleep with Lizzy Dalmon! Your drug problem must be worse than I could imagine. You don't get the good stuff here.
Again the arrogant Dalmon tries the patience of Lamont.
Landon Dalmon
When you are a Dalmon people will do ANYTHING to stay in good standing with you. My sister has plenty of model and actress friends who could show you a good time. They are average people, but still a step up above yourself.
Lizzy approaches and whispers something in Landon's ear.
Landon Dalmon
If you want to know that you can ask him yourself...
She gives her brother a pout and then heads back toward the car.
Lamont
Look you really need to leave and NEVER come back. I'm serious. Next time I won't be so nice
Landon Dalmon
Don't say I didn't try...but before I go I want you to have this.
Landon pulls an envelope from the inside of his sports coat and hands in to Lamont.
Landon Dalmon
In case you change your mind. Oh, and keep the money. Consider it the first step to a new life.
Lamont
Go...
Landon Dalmon makes his way to the car and enters. The car speeds away leaving Lamont standing there holding the envelope. He opens it and finds a first class ticket to New York City.
When traveling across the country there are many different means you can take. You can take a car, a train, a plane. If you are low class like Johnny Gillmen you can even travel by RV.
But...
When you are The Dalmons you travel by private jet.
That's how Landon and his sister Lizzy arrived earlier this week. New York is the place to be and everyone is a buzz about VWS Uprising. Are they talking about the main event triple threat match?
No...
Do they care who will be the first ever Ana Valentine blah blah blah champion?
AS if...
All focus is on where the after party will be when Landon Dalmon wins the Velocity championship.
If you were expecting me to tell you here? Well that isn't going to happen. I can assure you, you're not at the guest list.
Landon Dalmon
What's the matter sis? I thought you loved New York?
Lizzy Dalmon
I would prefer it to be a little warmer. I miss the sunshine of California.
Landon Dalmon
We were just there yesterday. Besides my victory party isn't going to be in California. It's going to be here. It's going to be amazing.
Lizzy Dalmon
Yeah, I bet you can't wait to have girls falling all over you.
Landon Dalmon
It's expected. I plan and partying pretty hard and if there are some lucky ladies who want to go along for the ride, the more the merrier.
He flashes a cocky smirk to his sister as he thinks about all the fun he is going to have.
Lizzy Dalmon
Just make sure you aren't so out of it you don't cover up Landon Jr. I don't want any gold digging whores honing in on our inheritance.
Landon Dalmon
That's why girls have mouth dear sister of mine.
She playfully punches him on the shoulder.
Lizzy Dalmon
Can we get back to doing what we came here to do?
Landon Dalmon
I say lets get the most expensive stuff we can. There is no price tag on my celebration!
As they continue to look over bottles of champagne Landon grabs one and shakes it up a bit. He then starts to mess with the cork.
Lizzy Dalmon
Shouldn't we wait until you actually win before we pop the top on one of those?
Landon Dalmon
It's a lock, plus I want to taste what I'm buying.
As he continues to struggle with the bottle Lizzy gets a phone call. She digs through her purse and grabs the phone. Well she meant to grab it but it slipped out of her hands and onto the floor. She kneels down on the floor looking for her phone and the cork of the champagne bottle whizzes past her head.
Lizzy Dalmon
Got it...
As she tries to tell her brother the phone is safely back in her possession she is met with a thick stream of the bubbly. It hits her in the face and all over her dress. Landon holds the bottle up to his lips and takes a sip. He then notices his sister drenched at his feet.
Lizzy Dalmon
Thanks a lot! That's the second dress you ruined today!
He helps her to her feet and passes her the bottle.
Lizzy Dalmon
No thanks. I think I had a taste when it shot off in my mouth.
