(Scene opens inside Narita Airport on a kind older Japanese lady in a professional suit.)
Customs Agent: Do you have anything to declare?
(Hard cut to the Duuuude of Duuuudes, the SWAG Star, Marco Street. His long hair tucks behind his ears and hides under his SWAG Star flat billed baseball cap.)
Marco Street: Dude?
Customs Agent: Declare? Declare?!
Marco Street: Uh ... yeah. I declare ... (breaking into pro wrestler voice) that on June tenth ... THE SWAG STAR arrives in Korakuen Hall!
(Marco cracks himself up in his typical surfer dude snicker. The elderly customs Agent seems less impressed.)
Customs Agent: ...
Marco Street: (surfer SWAG) Ah, but for real though. I declare that my past is my past and my future is Masanori Kawada. I declare that on June tenth at Return of the Dragon ... I will kick Kawada harder than he’s been kicked before. Aimin’ for KO’s dude. I’m gonna bruise up that thigh early, but don’t get confused. Head kicks are comin’. I can tell you my game-plan dude. It’s not what you do, but how you do it. Learned that from Blue Chips dude.
Customs Agent: ...
Marco Street: Hmmm. Ya know, Shaquille O’Neal? Shaq? The Shaq Daddy? Penny Hardaway? ...
Customs Agent: (at this point very unamused) ...
Marco Street: ... Nick Nolte?!
(...Deadpan. No reaction at all from the increasingly less patient airport employee.)
Marco Street: … Never mind.
(An annoyed English traveler behind Marco in line decides to speak up.)
English Traveler: You're in the ‘Customs’ line!
(Marco’s left eyebrow dips with confusion.)
English Traveler: (impatiently) Oh just give it here.
(The annoyed Englishman pulls the customs declaration card from Street’s hand. Marco looks slighted. The agent and all those in line look thrilled.)
Marco Street: (taken aback) Duuuude.
(The agent waves the SWAG Star through. Camera zooms on Marco’s face as they walk toward the gate.)
Marco Street: Ruuuude duuuude. Bro is lucky I didn’t set hands-free. (talking himself down) Don’t do it Marco. Keep your cool duuuude. Learn from your mistakes. He ain’t worth it. (focusing back on the camera) Saving all my mark shots for Kawada on the 10th. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan. I’ve been watching Kawada since I was just a little duuuude. Ultraman Neos is like my spirit animal. But duuuude, Kawada is for real. I know where he’s been. I know what he’s done. He’s held gold all over the globe dude.
(SWAG smirk.)
Marco Street: But he ain’t the Duuuude of Duuuudes! He’s got swag, but he ain’t the SWAG Star! He’s got moves like Jagger bro, but he ain’t got the SWAG Lock. I’ve been in seventeen fights in a cage. I slept sixteen of ‘em bro. Kawada … I hope you like joining lists. June tenth, I’m putting you on a new list. It’s called the ‘ain’t SWAG enough’ list. Marco’s gotta make a statement. Marco wants gold. SWAG Star, SWAG style. Out!
(Street throws up a peace sign at the camera. SWAG wink. Marco walks out of frame as the camera fades to black.)
