Los Angeles International Airport
We see Kimo and Kate standing near the arrival gate. The two have been waiting for quite a while.
Kimo: You sure this is the right one?
Kate: The wall said British Airways, flight 437, Gate C 13.
Kimo: Maybe they got redirected.
(Kate's phone vibrates)
Kate: Mum just texted, they just got through customs.
Kimo: Didn't they land over an hour ago? Being detained that long through customs can only mean one thing...
Both: Cheese.
Kate: Why did that take so long anyway? Last time I checked, Ireland wasn't considered a shithole.
Kimo: ...wow, really?!
Kate: What?
Kimo: You know for someone whose only been an American Citizen for 8 months, you've really done your homework.
Kate: That may be the case, but I bet they still come after me.
Kimo: No they won't.
Kate: Because we're married?
Kimo: That, and you're attractive and white.
Kate: Ah.
Out of nowhere, a woman in a white silk blouse, black slacks, and 3 inch heels walks up to the couple and sets her bags down next to them.
Woman: Word of advice for your next election, never trust anyone that looks like they should be working for Willy Wonka!
Kate: MA!!! (She runs over to hug her)
Kate's Mom: Oh, sweetie, it's been too long. And this must be Peter.
Kimo: Hello, Mrs. O'Cullhainn
Kate's mom: You're engaged to my daughter, we're practically family! Please, just call me Liz.
Kate: Where's Da and Pop-pop.
Liz: Over at the baggage carousel.
Kimo: Well, then what are we waiting for?
Liz: Not right now, I'm dying from this jet lag. Where can I get some decent coffee?
Kimo: Well we're in L.A., there's a Starbucks every 3 feet.
Liz: Oh you are going to do just fine in this family.
Kimo: Wait until you meet MY mom?
Kate: What does she do again?
Kimo: She's a pharmaceutical researcher specializing in naturopathic THC based treatments.
Liz: I'm sorry?
Kimo: She works with weed.
Liz just shoots him a look that just says, "I am definitely going to like HER." The three of them then proceed towars the baggage claim where they see a man in a light blue polo, Khaki slacks, and a pair of loafers standing between an older man in a cardigan, grey slacks and black loafers and a tall, red haired man in in a black t'shirt, unbuttones grey vest, jeans and black motorcycle boots. Upon recognizing them, Kate immediately breaks off from the group she's with, and runs toward the man in the middle.
Kate: Da!!! (She hugs him)
Kate's Dad: Katie!! My goodness it seems like only yesterday you graduated from University, now look at you. My little girl getting married! I see your mother found you without a problem.
Old man: Wish we could shay the shame about our bagsh.
Kate: Pop-pop. (She reaces over to hug him as well.)
Kate's dad: And this must be my future son-in-law?
Kimo: That I am, sir.
Kate's dad: Don't be so formal. We're family now. Call me James. This is my father-in-law, Finn. And this is my son Edwynn.
Kate's brother: We've met.
James: Really?
Edwynn: Remember when I lost the PGFC championship to some upstart? This is the upstart.
Liz: Ed, that was 6 years ago!!
Kate: PGFC? Isn't that...
Kimo: The MMA promotion I used to fight for?...yeah.
Finn: Well, thish ish awkward.
An awkward silence falls within the group until Kimo decises to take initiative and break the tension.
Kimo: I'm gonna go bring the car around. You guys look like you have aome catching up to do.
Edwynn: Don't bother with me. I'll take an Uber. I'm meeting up with an old friend later, so you all can just take off without me.
Kimo takes off as Kate catches up with her family while waiting for their luggage as the scene fades to black.
-June 16th 2018-
A Home Depot in Redondo Beach california.
Kimo and Kate are in the Pest Control section looking at mosquito repellent and supplies for a barbecue they're holding at their house so both families can introduce themselves.
Kate: So explain the hole you and your brothers were digging at 4 in the morning.
Kimo: It's called an Imu. Pretty much an ancient Hawai'ian smoker.
Kate: But we have one!
Kimo: Not for what's normally cooked in it. My uncle's coming from Chino Hills. He ordered two whole sides of pork and he's bringing it down here.
Kate: We're doing the pig?
Kimo: We're doing the pig.
Kate: Yes!!! So what are we doing here then?
Kimo: I'm trying to find something that'll keep pests away.
Kate: Wish we could say the same about your opponent later tonight.
Kimo: Please there's no pesticide strong enough to take care of her. But, If you want something done right you gotta do it yourself.
Kate: Wish I could take a swat at her.
Kimo: You're not on the roster, not yet anyway. Besides even she wouldn't be worth your time. She thinks I'm going to roll over and give her this win out of pity? Hell no. She wants a win out of me, she's going to have to earn it like everyone else.
Kate: Given your current track record, I don't think it's likely she'll be walking away with a W.
Kimo: Unless it stands for weak.
Kate: HA!!!
Kimo: All I'm saying is that if she expects an easy win, she's dreaming! And it's my job tonight to stomp that dream like a roach.
They come to the part of the aisle where the wall becomes a cornucopia of pest control options ranging from mouse traps to your traditional spray cans.
Kimo: Let me put it this way, she thinks she's a "Hot Shot" when it's all just in her head. Her little "Raid" in this business is going to come to an end after tonight. She's going to have to "Round Up" what's left of her pride, so she can fly off and go bug another promotion. Cuz after I'm done she's not going to want to show her face in that ring for a long time.Now c' mon let's go check out go check out. We got to be at the venue soon. Did you give your folks the passes.
Kate: Not yet, I will when I pick them up.
Kimo: Good.
The scene Fades to Black a the soon to be newlyweds walk down the aisle...just not the one they want to be walking down at the moment... towards the checkout counter.
