The Ballad of Owen Peterson

[Lord Hastings]

In a small nightclub, Owen Peterson stands just off the stage as a band prepares to play.

Peterson: I appreciate you getting me this gig.

We see he is speaking to eD cASe.

eD – Not a problem. I’m just glad we’ve been able to put all those things you said about me and did to me behind us.

Peterson: Uh…right.

Owen walks onto the stage and stands behind the microphone.

Peterson: Thank you all for coming out tonight, make sure to tip your waiters. This next song is dedicated to my grandson.

Owen nods to Chris, seated front and center. The music starts up, and after a few moments Owen starts singing.

I'm swimming in this bright blue ocean
I'm drowning in the darkest emotion
They call me useless, they call me weak
They call me a niglet and little geek

I want to show them if I can
That I can take out Donovan

I promise you
I won't rest until I have defeated you
They will all see
The strongest of all of the other people is me.

Out of the 5 refs, of all of us
My situation’s ridiculous
I realize something as I stand here waiting
That I'm the one who I'm really hating

There's one thing for which I long
And that is to prove them all wrong!

I promise you
I won't rest until I have defeated you
They will all see
The strongest of all of the other people is me.

A musical interlude plays, as Owen bops his head in rhythm with the music.

I fight strong
I run fast
I'll live on
It won't last
I'll destroy you, I'll prove them wrong
This is my redemption song.
I fight strong
I run fast
I'll live on
You won't last
I run fast
I'll fight strong
It won't last
I'll live on
This is my redemption song.

There is a round of applause. Chris stands and claps.

Peterson: Thank you, thank you.

In the back of the audience, a shadowy figure smiles, before walking out a back door, his cloak flowing behind him.
