(BEN is getting ready to get into his car. Enter ZTV STAFF MEMBER 1)
ZTV STAFF MEMBER 1: I hear that show had quite some response, Director.
BEN: Hahaha! Of course. IF the slop is good, the pigs will eat!
ZTV STAFF MEMBER 1: See you later then.
(ZTV STAFF MEMBER 1 exits)
BEN: Eh heh. Maybe next time I'll kill someone in front of the cameras. Heh heh.
(Footsteps are heard from off stage)
BEN: Huh?
(Enter YAMI YUGI, with a die in his left hand)
YAMI YUGI: I've been waiting for you, Director.
BEN: (TURNS TO Yami Yugi) You're that brat, Yugi! What are you doing here?! Come to get paid?
YAMI YUGI: You have trespassed in my soul! For that, you must play with me! Play a game that is. Heh heh heh.
BEN: A game?
YAMI YUGI: It's nothing to be afraid of. It's just a simple game of dice! (SHOWS DIE) People have been staking their fate on dice since Ancient Egypt! Although back then we used "Astragali" – the uneven heel bones of calves and sheep. Now, let me explain the rules for this game of fate. The rules are very simple! We both roll the die. I roll first. Whoever rolls the lowest number wins. I'll even let you win in case of a tie. Sound good? However, if I win, then you have to play a Penalty Game as punishment.
BEN: Ridiculous! Why do I have to play around with you?!
YAMI YUGI: Game Start.
BEN: Give me a break!
(YAMI YUGI rolls the die, and it lands on six)
YAMI YUGI: Six!
BEN: Hahahahaha! It's a six! A six!! No matter what number comes up, I win! I don't even need to roll the die!
YAMI YUGI: The odds are in your favor, but the game's not over until you roll.
BEN: Damn! Don't you ever shut-up? Then I'll do what you want! And put a hole in your head at the same time!
(BEN throws the die at YAMI YUGI, and it hits YAMI YUGI in between the eyes. The die then splits in two. One half lands on one, and the other half lands on six)
BEN: (LOOKS AT ONE HALF OF DIE) One! Hahahaha! It's a one! I win!
YAMI YUGI: No. You have to play a Penalty Game.
BEN: What? (LOOKS AT BROKEN DIE) The die split in two?! A seven?!
YAMI YUGI: (POINTS AT Director) Penalty Game!! Mosaic Illusion!!
(BEN'S head starts to hurt. He then looks at YAMI YUGI)
BEN: What?! That brat's face is covered by mosaic?! (LOOKS AROUND) Everything is turning into mosaic?! Aaaggghhh!
YAMI YUGI: Benjamin, for bending the truth in front of the cameras, then all you see shall be censored! Heh heh heh.
(YAMI YUGI exits. Fade to Black)
