WWF Superstars, July 19, 1997

ROXANNE

The camera opens up to a nice sized bedroom. In the bed is little Blade Hart, who is sleeping softly. Sitting on the edge of the bed is Roxanne, who still has some bruises on her face and her leg is bandaged up still. In her hands, she has a book, the Three Bears. She sets it down on the nightstand where there is a picture of the Hitman holding Blade in his arms after a WWF show.

Roxanne speaks softly.

Roxanne: As you can see, I'm not home. No, Bret Hart invited me to stay at the beautiful Hart Family house here in Calgary. The air is fresh up here and the scenery is beautiful. It's helped me get my mind off of things for a few days.

A little gray dog runs in and jumps up into Roxanne's lap and begins snuggling into her. She smiles and hugs it.

Roxanne: And I got to bring my Maltese with me... Sir Edward Van Halen II... or Eddie!

She lets the dog go from her lap over to the slumbering Blade. Eddie curls up next to him and puts his head on his pillow. Roxanne checks to see if Blade was woken up, but he wasn't. She smiles.

Roxanne: I'm not only happy to say that I feel better... but Blade is doing better also. Maybe I asked for the punishment. Maybe I should have been smart enough to know that Hawk and Animal are nearly beyond the point of return... but young Blade... Bret's youngest son... HE didn't ask for any of this torture. He made up his sign just like every other child across the world... and all he received for caring... was TORTURE!

Roxanne looks sadly down at Blade, then quietly reassures herself that he is here at home, safe. She nods at the picture of Bret and Blade together.

Roxanne: Bret and Blade share something special together. Blade idolizes his father as much as Bret loves him. Blade wants to grow up and be a wrestler someday... just like his father. But this event has perhaps scared him from his dream. How can a child grow up like that?

Roxanne: Legion of DOOM, you may have taken away MY livelihood... my ability to wrestle... perhaps my ability to WALK normally... but THAT I can live with. But what I CANNOT live with is the fact that you may have CRUSHED a little boys DREAM! And for that... you WILL pay... and pay dearly. That much... I promise.

Roxanne pats Eddie on the head and brushes some of Blade's hair from his eyes before rising up and leaving the room quietly, but with a limp. She brings the door closed.

Roxanne: Bret, I'd like to take this time to thank you for letting me stay here. I'd like to thank all of my friends who have had well-wishes and kind words through this ordeal. But don't you guys worry too much. You know me. I'm too stubborn to stay down!

Roxanne continues up the hall as she talks. She is still in pain.

Roxanne: I would also like to take this time to apologize... to Corey Major. Corey... you were right. I really DO think Sabrina could turn over a new leaf. I don't buy into this... 'grand master plan' of hers, that she's had this all in the works from day one, but I DO think she could be honest about her intentions now. But that doesn't change what she's done in the past. Corey, not that it's worth jack right about now, but you have my blessings. You've made the right decision, and I'm proud of ya, guy!

Roxanne seems to want to say more to that... she contemplates, then swallows hard and continues...

Roxanne: And finally... for today or tonight... or whatever time-zone you're in when you get this... I want to talk about the Femme Fatales. Their decision to go along with Ted DiBiase just proves our point that they are no good. They're in this for the quick and easy road to the top, and Ted can give them that with his money. Well, we all know what money CAN'T buy... and at Summerslam 97... it will NOT buy a victory over the team Wild Chylde has put together!

A voice is heard.

Voice: You've got THAT right, Roxanne.

It's Jade, Bret's oldest daughter. She's bringing Roxanne a large frosty mug of Pepsi and a plate with a ham and cheese on it. Roxanne smiles.

Roxanne: Jade... you MUST have something else you'd rather be doing! You've been my little helper since I got here!

Jade: THAT'S what I'd rather be doing Roxanne! I'm glad you're here!

Roxanne: I'm glad YOU'RE here! What would I do without you?

Jade thinks for a moment...

Jade: Probably try to find your wrestling gear... suit up...and go find the LOD to wrestle. AND you'd go hungry.... HERE!

Jade hands Roxanne the sandwich and soda, then directs her to the breakfast bar where a stool is ready. Jade helps Roxanne, who is still stiff and sore from her injuries. She takes a seat.

Roxanne: Thanks. (looks to the camera) Well, as you can see, I'm well taken care of here. But this Monday Night, I'll be back in the arenas, looking for trouble... and trouble incarnate is called the FEMME FATALES! Wild Chylde showed them what they'll get it they don't behave... and they will get more of the same if they come MY way. Wild Chylde likes to hurt them... Heart Attack out-smarted them... and Venus? Well, she just likes to SUPLEX them all over the ring! Femme Fatales... see you in FULL FORCE... at SUMMERSLAM!!!

The camera fades out as Jade pulls up a seat next to Roxanne and they talk and enjoy their lunch.
