The Man In The Hat walks through the curtains and stands at the center of the empty dais.
Man In The Hat: "Gang, you know how this works. Allow me to introduce to you the NEW Undisputed Lightweight Champion of the world, Gemma Arterton!"
Gemma comes through the curtains and takes the seat at the center as the Man In The Hat turns and walks back stage.
Gemma (smiling): "Well. I'd by lying if I said I hadn't thought about this a few times..."
(Laughter)
Gemma: "Let's get started. The HBO reporter goes first..."
HBO Reporter: "Thanks, Gemma. You've talked about thinking about this a few times. You've been in the FCBA and at Front Street for over six years now. You have been waiting for some time..."
Gemma (nodding): "And, that's not surprising. Lightweight is a great division. It's very deep. There are lots of stables pushing lots of girls and there's a ton of top talent. It's not easy getting a shot, let alone winning the title. I'm very fortunate to have gotten this opportunity, and I wasn't going to let it slip away. Showtime. Go ahead."
Showtime Reporter: "That's just the question I was going to ask. You were here once before and lost to Winstead. This time, when you got Blake in trouble, it was clear you were going all in to get her out of there. Even when she started to come back, you never stopped looking to finish..."
Gemma: "Exactly. It was going to be her or me in there. And I decided it was bloody well going to be her this time. Tess, go ahead."
Tess: "She did have you in trouble at one point..."
Gemma (nodding): "My point exactly. She's dangerous. And, she was also champion, meaning I couldn't rely on getting any close decisions if it came to that. There was only one sure way to make sure none of that mattered, and that was to get her out of there, which is exactly what I did. Smackey. It's late. Let's go to dinner, shall we?"
Reporter: "Obviously, you haven't thought about the first title defense yet, but, would, say, Winstead or Peregrym be on top of the list?"
Gemma: "You're right. I haven't thought about it, but those are two names that would be in any discussion. I'll sit down with management and we'll make a decision. Right now, I just want to enjoy this...and have something to eat. Tess! Smackey! Limo!"
