--Fade In--

We are outside of a small building. There is only a door on the front, no windows
and what appears to be a small make shift steeple on the top. The camera pans
to the right to show a sign that reads The Edwina Church of God in Jesus Christ
Name. Then we fade out. The scene fades back inside the church. Pastor Jimmy
Morrow is on the pulpit in the middle of a hell fire and brimstone filled
sermon a copperhead in one hand and a timber rattlesnake in the other.

"...and He said...He said to take up the serpents and He a...He a said to hold them and
to keep them close to you....He said that He would watch out for us and keep us
safe. See here look at this copperhead I've got in my hand. It doesn't want to
kill me...its afraid...it's afraid of the power of a GAWD! I tell you brothers
and sister's that this is what HIS mighty power can do. It can take the most
vile creatures it can take the most sick and evil things on this Earth and it
can make them lie down and submit to His mighty will. Who wants to come up and
feel the power of GAWD!?!" 

A man steps up toward the Pastor. He's immediately recognizable even without his
signature black leather cowboy hat and sunglasses. Will Sabre walks up to the
Pastor and takes the timber rattlesnake from his hand and holds it up toward
the lights. The snake coils itself around his arm as he turns his attention
back toward the camera and begins to walk toward the back of the church his
grin broader than ever. As the Pastor's voice trails off and fades Will Sabre
steps up face to face with the Camera and holds the snake up for view. Then he
begins to speak softly, his words drowning out the hymn that's begun behind
him.

You think that bringing a snake to a fist fight is going to scare me Profit? No
matter how venomous and deadly it is...it's not going to help. Oh believe me I
know how pissed you are...but I know that no matter how tough you think you
are...or how dangerous your partner may seem...inside you and him both are just
scared little animals slithering in the hands of something much more powerful.

Sabre chuckles to himself as he moves toward the door of the church, the snake still
in hand. He pushes open the door and steps out into the cool morning air. The
camera follows behind closely. Sabre stops and turns holding the animal up, its
head moving around his wrists its tongue flicking in and out.

This snake is the most dangerous one in these mountains. One bite and it's tissue
damaging venom starts dissolving the muscle, skin, and even bone around the
wound. Untreated you could die in less than an hour. Yet, I am completely
without fear, because I know how dangerous....I am. See this snake can
kill...but so can I. This snake can maime...but so have I. This snake can
strike fear into many men's hearts...and so will I. Profit is as good as done
in ELITE. I'm going to make damn sure of that. Joshua Jones had the right idea
last week hiding behind some cheap suit lawyer and a stack of legal papers. He
knew what he was up against and he did not want to risk the danger. This week
he's got no choice and once I'm done with Profit and his pet python...I may go
ahead and make due on the promise I made last week to break the bones in Joshua
Jones hand. I am a man of my word...just like He was a man of His. I have no
fear in my heart...only faith and knowledge of the truth. It will see me
through.

Sabre smiles as he holds up the snake for the camera. He eases his hand down the
length of the fat serpent’s body until his hand is just behind its head. Then
he grabs hold tightly. The snake hisses and opens its gaping jaws showing its
1/2" long fangs. Its tail and body coil and thrash violently, it doesn't
like being held this way and is now angry. Sabre only laughs as the snake
fights to get free.

You two assholes have no idea what's in store for you. I'm a man hell bent and
determined to make sure that no one ever...forgets the name Will Sabre. If I
have to break you both to do that. I will. 

Sabre uses his other hand to grab the snake by the body right behind where his other
hand is. Then with all his strength he squeezes and twists, wringing the
snake's head from its body. The snake's body begins to wiggle and twist even
more violently as Sabre drops it to the ground. The snake's head twitches and
moves as if it's still alive as well, as a single drop of venom pearls up on
the end of its long fang.

He gives life...and he can take it away. So come to Canada with your pet Snake
Profit...I've been dying to have a new pair of boots made. Just know that it's not
going to do you any good. Snake or no snake...so very soon Profit your career
and your lively hood are going to meet with me head on...and when that
happens...I'm going to twist your head off your shoulders and see if you twitch
as much as a dead snake.

Sabre begins to laugh as he drops the snakes head on the gravel next to its body,
that's still twitching. Sabre walks off toward the door of the church and stops
at the door as he grabs hold of the handle. Then he looks back over his shoulder
at the camera and smirks.

Oh and by the way. It's rude to come to a service here at this church and not take
part. So um...cut that FN' camera off and get in here boy...you have to test
your faith before you can go home to mommy tonight. Sabre laughs as he opens
the door...as the congregation inside continues with the hymn the where singing
Sabre waves the camera man in toward the door.
