( Scene opens with the camera focused on a black table that is draped with a purple cloth with candles lit on either side. We hear slow footsteps walking towards the scene as Jack approaches the table. He lets a small laugh, and sigh escape him as he begins to circle the table. As he does so, he begins to recite another rhyme. )
Jack : Ring around the rosie pocket full of posies ashes, ashes we all …. Fall ….. Down !
( camera cuts to black for an instant and refocuses on Jack sitting at the previously mentioned table. Wearing his newer dress attire we notice Jacks eyes seem sunken in. )
Jack : Miss Puppies, and El Landerson it appears to me that both of you have met with a very similar fate.
( Jack chuckles as he pulls a deck of cards from his jacket pocket placing them on the table, and pulls two cards off the top of the deck, revealing them to the camera. )
Jack : The queen of spades, and the suicide king of hearts.
( Jack pauses and ponders for a moment not taking his eyes off the cards )
Jack : Well I suppose those are appropriate choices given my time thus far in PWS, but now we move onward and upward to another staple of this company and that brings me to you Squid-Man.
( Jack stands up from the table and positions himself facing the camera. )
Jack : Now you Squidy you aren't like my previous opponents, it almost seems as though you may actually have a layer or two of depth to the workings of that feeble, pathetic, fish bowl you call your mind which I of all people can understand. Now please do not mistake my understanding as a pass.
( Jack reaches down into his jacket pocket and pulls out a small, yet sharp butterfly knife, he flicks it open, and begins fiddling with the blade between his fingers.)
Jack : Squidy I won't lie to you I fully intend on hurting you. I fully intend on driving you absolutely mad to the point you beg for the end, then and only then will I make every ounce of pain you have been put through come to a screeching halt. It is the pain that makes us Squidy, it’s the pain that drives us.
( Jack sets the knife down on the table, and walks back to his seat and flips one more card from his deck and reveals it to the camera as the joker. )
Jack : Well what do you know ? A joker for a joker
( Jack begins cackling loudly then comes to a sudden stop, and flips the table hitting the camera knocking it to the ground, Jack then proceeds to stand up and walk over and picks up the camera. )
Jack : Now it’s your turn squid and you already know the drill, I’ll see you at riot.
( Jack sets the camera back on the ground, and places a blue tipped silver bullet on the ground and walks away as the camera fades to black. End scene.)

*We come in on a large room in a casino. At the craps table, a dealer deals… craps? I don’t know how craps works. The roulette wheels are spinning, the slot machines make their familiar clanging noises, and the ambience is overall kind of overwhelming. Not for one particularly cephalopodic individual, however! Squid-Man is at the Blackjack table, and he stares intently at his cards, Spuds Guzzman Jr. at his side. Spuds translates to the dealer what Squid is saying, as the dealer deals out the cards.*
Dealer: Six.
*Squid-Man looks at his pair of threes and sighs, putting a hand on his mask, staring at the cards as he moves his hands to rest underneath his chin.*
Spuds: It’s okay, bud. Take your time.
*Squid takes a deep breath, exhaling and letting out a little groan as he does, like he’s really thinking about his next move. He looks up at the dealer, then over at Spuds, then back at the dealer, then back at his cards, and finally speaks.*
Squid-Man: I am a squid.
Spuds: He says “Go fish”.
Dealer: Sir, that’s not how this game works. Hit or stay, sir?
*Squid pauses, looking back down at his cards with another puzzled sigh, his fingers interlocking, save for one on each hand, his index fingers, which come up to his mask, where his mouth would be. He looks down at the cards, then up at the dealer, then down at the cards, then over at Spuds, then down at the cards, then behind him.*
Squid-Man: I am a squid.
Spuds: Stay.
*The dealer shrugs.*
Dealer: Alright then!
*The dealer deals himself some more cards.*
Dealer: House wins. Another hand, sir?
*Squid-Man looks at the dealer’s revealed 18, then at his own 6, then the dealer’s cards again. He looks at Spuds and nods, handing him a deck.*
Squid-Man: I am a squid.
Spuds: He wants to play with his own deck!
*The dealer looks at them, then shrugs.*
Dealer: I don’t see why not!
*He takes the deck, shuffling it and dealing the appropriate cards. To himself, a face-down card and the six of spades. To Squid-Man, a 2 and a… Pikachu? It’s a Pokemon card! The dealer looks down at it, baffled, and then looks at Squid.*
Dealer: Um… Pikachu?
Squid-Man: I am a squid.
Spuds: Hit.
*The dealer deals out another card, this one a queen.*
Dealer: Uh… I guess that makes it… Raichu?
Squid-Man: I am a squid!
Spuds: You sure, buddy?
Squid-Man: I am a squid.
Spuds: Alright… if you’re sure… hit!
*The dealer deals one more card, and it’s a Yu-Gi-Oh card, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.*
Dealer: I… don’t even know what to call this…
Squid-Man: I am a squid!
Spuds: Stay!
Dealer: O…okay then…
*He flips his card, it’s a 10, giving him 12. He deals himself out a Yu-Gi-Oh card, Celtic Guardian, and a Baseball card of Mickey Mantle. He stares at his cards, baffled. He looks up at Squid-Man, who’s staring intently.*
Squid-Man: I am a squid...
*He gasps excitedly!*
Squid-Man: I am a squid!
Spuds: That’s right, pal! Blue-Eyes destroys Celtic Guardian, Raichu electrocutes Mickey Mantle to death, You win!
*They grab the money and leave the table, celebrating the whole way. The dealer stares at them, confused.*
Dealer: …What the fuck just happened?
*The camera cuts to a screen with a cartoon, CGI animated squid-man, who winks at the camera.*
Cartoon Squid-Man: I am a Squid!
*The screen says “Squid-Man Productions 2023”. It stays on this image for only a moment, before the screen fully fades to black.*
