Steve: Phhiiiiilllllll.......
Phil snores and Wolf jumps on the bed

Phil: What..WHAT?!
Steve and Wolf: IIIIIIIT’S CHRIIIIIIIISSSSSSSTTTTTMMMMMMASSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
Phil: Awesome..
He looks at the clock: 4:51am
Phil: Go back to sleep..
Will opens his window, revealing his hair in curlers
Will: WILL YOU TWO KEEP IT DOWN?! SOME OF US NEED OUR BEAUTY SLEEP!
Steve leans out of the bedroom window
Steve: OHMYGODWILLITSCHRISTMAS!!
Will: CHRISTMAS!! OH MY GOD!! GET THE STREET UP!!
Frank slowly walks into Wills room, half unconscious, baggy eyed and only wearing boxers
Will: OH MY GOD!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING?!
Frank: Turn on the light!
Will scrambles and switches on the light. They both scream and cover their eyes
Frank: TURN OFF THE LIGHT! TURN OFF THE LIGHT!
Jon bangs on his window and flips it open
Jon: Keep it down guys! Some of us are trying to sleep!
Brick: It’s Christmas man!!
Jon: OH MY GOD!! CHRISTMAS!!
Jon scrambles up in bed and switches on the lamp on the bedside table
Jon: Christmas?! Oh my god! Get up! We’ll see what Santa left us!
Phil is now fully awake. He stands next to Steve and looks out the window. Dave pulls up the window and leans up, looking down the street. Sal, Brick, Billy and Vince are looking at them from their houses bedroom.
Vince: What the--The lights?
Sal: It’s Christmas time again!!!
Vince: OH FUCKING YES!!! GET UP YOU BASTARD!! PRESENTS!!
Sal scrambles out of his bed and knocks over his water, diving to the foot of the tree and hugging a red present with a gold ribbon
Sal: MY BABY!!!!!!
Billy hops over Sal and grabs onto several wrapped boxes, laughing madly
Brick: Wow..the maturity levels just reached an all-time low
Vince: WET WILLY!
He spits on his finger and jams it into Bricks ear. Brick screams and dances around, swiping at his ear
Vince: YOU SICK FUCK! THAT WAS A LOOGY!
Down the street, the mechanics are awakening in El Chopshop Grande
Johan: What up?
Bobby: Hey! Johan! Merry Christmas!
Johan: Christmas! Phil tell me! Good time of year! Happy celebration fun!
They both run downstairs into the main garage where a tree made of nuts and bolts is erected with several presents underneath
Johan: PREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNTTTTTTTTTTTTTTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
That Hispanic Guy scrambles out of his bed and kicks open the door, running down the stairs of the Lamb and Flag into the pub, followed by That Other Random Guy
That Other Random Guy: presents presents presents presents!!!!!!!!!
Dick falls out of his folding bed and scrambles up, sliding it into the wall and putting some bottles back
Dick: huh--we--open--wha? CHRISTMAS!!
Tom Morello dashes in, wearing long pyjamas and still carrying his guitar
Morello: OH! A JOYOUS TIME!
That Hispanic Guy looks at Morello
That Hispanic Guy: You sleep with that--
Morello: YOU HAVE A PROBLEM?!
That Hispanic Guy: No! No no no!
Obese Maurice runs down the stairs
Maurice: CHRIMBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! MOE!!! GET YO ASS UP!!!
Moe starts hopping down the stairs
Moe: Christmas? Already?
The door to the Lamb and Flag flies open, and the camera pans to El Chopshop Grande where That Hispanic Guy, That Random Guy and That Other Random Guy have stormed into. Bobby the mechanic slides the door open, peering out happily
Bobby: Wow...everyones up!
A large blue portal appears and Johnny Cash, wearing a santa hat, peers through it
Bobby: What the--
Cash: You didn’t see anything!
He quickly vanishes. Dean wakes up in the flat above his kebab shop and falls out of bed
Dean: DAMN!
He slowly gets up and opens the window, looking out at Sal, Vinces, Billys and Bricks house, where Billy is unwrapping his present
Billy: BELLS WHISKEY!!! BUT HOW??!?!?! TO HERE?!
Sal taps the side of his nose. In his kebab shop, Karab, Deans bubbly Indian friend and co-owner, and Dean turn to their own Christmas tree, kneeling next to it and picking up the present from Steve
Dean: iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit’s--
He unwraps it to reveal a solid gold Bowie Knife
Dean: YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Karab: You like?
Dean slices through the air and grins
Dean: IT SLICES! IT DICES! IT LOOKS THE SHIZZLE!
Karab grins and nods. Dean hands him a golden key
Dean: Karab! Your Christmas gift...IS THE KEBAB SHOP!
Karab: OH MY GOD! MR. WILKINSON SIR!! OH MY GOD!!! HOW CAN I EVER RE-PAY YOU?!?!?!
Dean: I live rent-free in the above apartment.
Karab: DEAL!!!
Meanwhile, Johan walks out into the cold street, wearing a brand new beanie hat with his brand new accessory belt
Johan: Johan going to cry! Johan happy at gifts!
Maurice stumbles into the streets, bawling loudly as he carries 10 cases of SoBe
Maurice: THERE IS A GOD! THERE IS A GOD!
Will answers his cellphone as he trims his moustache with he sterling silver scissors Dave gave him
Will: Yello?
Moe The Midget is on the other end, wearing a sharp black tuxedo
Moe: Oi! Thanks for the gift Will! Now I look good without having to repeatedly wash and dry shit only for a tight fit!
Will: Everyone deserves to look good Moe! Have a Merry Christmas!
They both put the phone down at the same time
Moe and Will: Owwwwwwwww!
Steve hands Phil a box wrapped in gold paper and he rips it open
Phil: Oh..Steve! It’s beautiful!
Phil pulls out a large silver-plated pistol and looks down the sights, clutching it tightly
Phil: You heightened the sight! Makes it easier to aim manually! Eliminates the need to use one-eye!
He pats the handle and feels the cartridge
Phil: The handles been modified to allow large cartridges in! But the normal slides end up being lighter! The hollow handle allows minimum kickback and lighter hold!
He pulls back the slide
Phil: The slides whittled down too, so its not as chunky! The grooves make it easier to grip, and the hammer is extra grooved to make it easier on the thumb!
He examines the trigger
Phil: The triggers been modified to make it lighter and easier to fire! THIS IS THE ULTIMATE WEAPON!
Steve, who has half-fallen asleep, wakes up and grins
Steve: Knew you’d like it!
Phil hugs Steve and ruffles his hair
Phil: Fucking sweet dude! You even got me cartridges! Now open mine!
Steve rips open his present in record time to reveal a DVD of ‘The Good, The Bad and The Ugly’
Steve: My favourite film! Oh Phil! Sweet!
Phil: That ain’t the end Steve!
Phil hands him a photo, and Steve examines it.It’s a large truck with the words ‘Mercenary Energy’ in big blue letters on it with a silver AK
Phil: I hijacked a truck load of Mercenary Energy for ya! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Steve: OHMYGODTHISISTHEBESTCHRISTMASTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!!
Wolf: And me Phil?
Phil looks around. Silence.
Phil: Don’t tell anyone..
He hands her a small box covered with a red ribbon. She opens it and gasps loudly
Wolf: OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Steve: What? What’d he get you?!?!
Wolf: It’s...beautiful!
She pulls out a sterling silver watch with several charms attached to it and clips it onto her wrist, admiring it
Wolf: Oh..Phil..
That Hispanic Guy, Will and Dave are latched to the window
Dave: Hey look! Phil has feelings! Let’s tell everyone!
Phil: NO! BACK YOU FUCKERS!
He rolls up a newspaper and advances, causing them to scream and run away
Wolf: Oh..wait! Something else!!!
Phil: Something else?
phils brain: You don’t remember?
Wolf was scrambling through the wrapping paper curiously
Phil: No..
Phils brain: You were so drunk on christmas spirit....and on Guinness..that you wrote a slip saying ‘I.O.U one of whatever you want’.
Phil: .....Oh. Fuck.
Phils brain: Yup...you can just stop and guess right now, buddy boy.
Phil: .....Fuck.
Wolf: Oh...Phil....
She crawls close to him and whispers in his ear
Wolf: You always know what i’ll pick..
Phils brain: Not only did you dig your own grave, you shot yourself! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Phil grabs a ball of wrapping paper and jams it into his ear
Phils brain: OW!!
Phil: Heheh..
Jon and Brick are sitting in their flat above the Dog and Handgun,, surrounded by wrapping paper. Brick stares down at his new stockpile of M80 firecrackers and grins
Jon: Oi! No no no! Those are for mission use!
Brick: Awww...
Jon: Now feed Mr. Moneypennies!
Brick cheers and claps his hands rapidly, wandering over to a brand new glass-tank where a baby anaconda is slithering about, staring up at Brick with bright eyes
Brick: Ooo Mr. Moneypennies! I bet you’re hungry!
Brick opens a drawer and a mouse wanders in from a hole in the back. Brick grabs it and slides off the top, dropping the mouse in and sliding the lid shut
Brick: EAT INTO THE CASKS NOW MOTHERFUCKER!!
The anaconda pounces on the mouse and squeezes it tightly, biting it repeatedly
Mr. Moneypennies: That’s right you fucking mouse! Don’tcha even move cause I will bite yo ass to fucking hell, beeotch!
Brick: I can’t believe he talks!
Jon: Yeah..found him near the reactor! He’s only a baby yet he talks!
Mr. Moneypennies: Yo, Brick dude, thanks for the mouse!
He burps out a mouse skeleton and Brick gives the thumbs up
Brick: FUUUUUUUUUUUCK YEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
Jon grabs his brand new Dolce and Gabbana wash kit and goes into the bathroom. Laughing Octopus looks out of the window, wearing a new golden watch. Bob walks into their room, clutching two tentacles close to him
Bob: Wow honey! Great present! I HAVE MY OWN TENTACLES!
Laughing Octopus turns to him and smiles, posing with the watch
Laughing Octopus: How do I look?
Bob: Like a queen!
Octopus pounces on him. That Hispanic Guy walks down into the pub of the Lamb and Flag, wearing his poncho from Johan with a hispanic pride in his eye.
That Hispanic Guy: Bueno!
That Random Guy walks into the streets wearing gold-leaf boxer shorts Will bought for him. Dave parts the curtain, and stares wide-eyed at it, coughing out eggnog
Dave: JESUS!!!!!
He quickly draws the curtains. Frank runs into the street with the crates of whiskey under his hand, weeping loudly
Frank: OH GOD I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!
Phil watches from the bedroom window with Steve
phil: Y’know, I think I had a nightmare about this once.
Steve: The end of the world caused by drinking?
Phil: I always thought Frank was taller in the dream..guess the armageddon isn’t picky
Morello runs down the street, cackling loudly at his new silver guitar
Morello: MY BABY! I LOVE MY BABY!
Phil: Yeah, get ready for judgment day
Will walks out of the door and looks around the street, his moustache waxed and buffed and wearing a sapphire coloured suit with matching tie, black dress suit and blue leather dress shoes. He looks around as Raging Raven walks out of the Dog and Handgun, carrying a bundle of new clothes over her shoulder
Will: HEY! RAVEN! YOU LIKE?!
She grins and gives the thumbs up
Will: I know..I look good..
Billy walks out of his, Sals, Vinces and Bricks flat, carrying a new sabre
Billy: PHIL!!
Phil leans out of the window and Billy unsheathes the sabre
Billy: MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
Phil gives a thumbs up and grins. Vince puts on his new pair of sunglasses and hops into his bright red Ferrari Enzo, looking at the steering wheel
Vince: THANK YOU SAL!!!
Sal walks out, wearing a tuxedo and a monocle, holding a crystal carafe filled with Armagnac
Sal: And thank you Vince! Where on earth did you get the carafe?!
Vince: I stole it from H. Samuels! They wanted three-thousand quid..I got a five-fingered discount! Hehe! But SAL! THE FERRARI!
Sal: Ahh..don’t mention it!
Vince: Anyway, heard they’re preparing christmas dinner down in the square, ready?!
Sal climbs into his Bugatti Veyron and starts up the engine violently
Sal: YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!
==
Frank walks into the street, dressed in a white shirt, black tie, jeans and cowboy boots where a huge line of tables has been set-up, covered in red paper and decorated with countless plates, crackers, candles and tinsel adorning the chairs
Dick: Looking good boss Hog!
Frank: Phil got me the boots..Apparently he killed the snake himself!
Dick: That would explain the slash marks..and the blood
Frank: Ahh..So..whats up? Ready?
Dick: Well, a few guys are cooking some shiut up to serve..we have to serve quite a lot of people, y’know!
An huge red stream of liquid fires out from the door of Frank, Bob, Dave and Wills flat and smashes the windows of the opposite, abandoned flat
Dave: CABBAGE IS READY!!
The windows are blown out by a huge stream of red wine
Octopus: Mulled Wines brewed!
The roof of Phil and Steves flat flies off in a mess of sage and meat
Phil: We got the stuffing balls!
Several popping sounds are heard as smoke rises
Steve: And the chestnuts!
Phil: Which AREN’T SUPPOSED TO BE ON FIRE!!
Wolf: GET THE EXTINGUISHER!!
Loud popping sounds are heard as blackened shells fly into the air.
Wolf: ...Chestnuts are done!!
A poisonous green gas floats out of the Dog and Handguns windows, causing Dick to hack and cough violently. Tom Morello walks into the streets and immediately collapses
Jon: Brussell Sprouts done!
That Random Guy: Brussell Sprouts....so it IS Christmas..
Dick: Shut up! You’ll eat them! Now go check on the turkey! And get ready ya scruffy git!
That Random Guy trudges off, wearing only boxers and socks into the Lamb and Flag. That Hispanic Guy walks out, wearing a gold and black suit with matching sunglasses
Frank: Heyyy..looking good!
That Hispanic Guy: Yeah, we’re studs!
Johan and Big Bad Bobby walk out, each wearing large tuxedos and carrying a tray of stuffing balls with a gravy boat the size of a window on it. They set them down on the table
Johan: Where turkey?
Phil: Yeah, but we got a joint of beef in our oven!
Phil appears, wearing an electric blue suit and army boots
Frank: Wow Phil...looking good!
Phil: Thanks scruffy!
Frank: Oi! I’m the leader, I dress how I want!
Will: Yeah! If he wants to dress like a cowboy hobo, let him!
Will appears with his sapphire-coloured suit and with Raging Raven by his side, who was wearing an emerald green suit practically identical to Wills
Frank: Yeahhhh..
Phil: Wow, looks like the whole Units getting plucky. This is the first time you’ve been with a woman, ain’t it Will?
Will: 2nd time, jackass..
Dick: And you forgot to count several hundred one night stands
Will: And that’s why they call me Studlin..but I got a good feeling about ol’ Raven here..she’s a pip..
Raven blushes and smiles
Raven: And I got a good feeling I won’t be killing Will..
Phil, Frank, Dick, Johan and That Hispanic Guy: Damn.
Will: SHUT UP YOU HATERS!!
He hisses at them and they wave it off, starting to place tablemats and crackers on the table. That Random Guy rushes out, tucking his shirt into his dress pants with a silver tie flailing wildly
That Random Guy: Turkeys tanned!
Dick: Ok! We’re almost ready!
Johan: Oh! Reminder! Bobby! I check pork!
Dick: 3 meats?! Sweet!
Johan rushes into the chop shop as That Other Random Guy surfaces, wearing a white shirt, red tie and black dress pants with leather slacks
That Other Random Guy: ..Damn! Everyone gets the dress jackets but me!
Dean walks out, laughing and wearing a sterling silver suit, walking like John Wayne, every step squeaking
Dean: Sorry *Beep*..but you is SLOOOOOOOOOW!
That Other Random Guy flings back his hand and smacks Dean in the crotch. Dean cries out and collapses. Will runs over and points to Deans whimpering form
Will: FATALITY!!
Tom Morello comes to, kips up to his feet and points at Dean
Morello: BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURNED!!
Zack De La Rocha walks on by and grabs Tom in a headlock, dragging him down the street. Steve walks out, wearing a bronze-plated suit
Will: ....Wow.
Phil: GO STEVE! LOOKING GOOD!
Steve: Thanks! *Beep* got me it!
That Hispanic Guy stands there, grinning
That Hispanic Guy: You’d love to see what else I can do with illegally-stolen cars!
Steve: Kinda hard to sit down though
Frank: I can only guess..
A Bugatti Veyron and Ferrari screech up the sandy street and handbrake turn, skidding at angles to a halt underneath the awning of an abandoned building. Sal and Brick step out of the Bugatti Veyron, wearing blue tuxedos
Dick: Wow.
Frank: That just screams ‘retentive git’
Will: Damn Frank! I was gonna say that!
Vince and Sal slowly walk towards the table, before looking back at the Ferrari
Sal: What’s keeping you both?!
Billys voice: I can’t open the door!
Sal sighs and pulls out a spare set of Ferrari keys, clicking a button and watching as the door slides open in the butterfly effect. Billy and Vince look out amused and step out
Vince: AWWWW..SWEET!!!
Sal clicks it again and the doors fall shut. Vince and Billy rush over
Vince: My car! AWESOME!
Frank: Looks like Sal dived into his families fund again..
Sal: Technically, it’s mine. I helped my Dad run those factories, so naturally I became the heir, and received a small amount!
That Hispanic Guy: And if your father dies?
Sal looks up proudly
Sal: I inherit two-hundred billion!
They all fall back slightly, gasping
Phil: OH MY GOD!!
Sal: Anyone could inherit it if--
Sals brain: Don’t be stupid. The next words out of your mouth better be ‘They buy two hundred factories’
Sal: They buy two hundred factories!
The mercenaries moan and kick the sand, cursing
Sals brain: I owe you an idea!
Dave walks down the street, dressed in the attire of a military general, complete with helmet and medal strips on his breast
Frank: ...Wow
Dave: T’was my fathers, who kicked severe ass in both World Wars, kicked ass at Falklands, kicked ass at the Gulf and was a basic ass-kicker extraordinaire!
That Random Guy: ..How OLD was he when he died?
Dave: Died last year. Crashed his motorcycle trying not to spill his beer.
Silence.
Dick: FREAKING AWESOME!!
Frank: Practically everyones here, just waiting for the last few stragglers..
Crying Wolf and Screaming Mantis walk down the street, carrying trays covered in foil, and both strangely wearing tuxedos
Will: Seems like everyones wearing a suit!
Wolf: I find them..much more comfortable
Mantis places her tray on the table
Mantis: Frank...
Frank: *Beep*
Mantis looks at him
Mantis: Not in public..
Will runs over and puts his arms around both of them
Will: Ooooo? Something going on between the two leaders of the two units?
Frank and Mantis throw their fists back, punching him in the face and knocking him out
Dick: But there is, isn’t there?
Frank: Let's have Christmas dinner!
Obese Maurice walks out, wearing a huge green suit. He looks down at Dean and grabs him, lifting him straight onto his feet
Dean: Thanks Maurice
Maurice: No problem lad, just remember to guard the crotch at all times or ya will end up on the street kidda!
Dean: ...Gotcha
Moe the Midget wanders out, wearing a tuxedo
Moe: Wow..everyones doing great!

Everyone stares
Phil: Sorry, forcive habit..
Brick comes out with Mr. Moneypennies wrapped around his wrist
Will: Nice snake, Brick
Mr. Moneypennies: Thanks my son! You look fine yoself!
Will: Thanks snake dude!
Karab: A talking snake...whatever next?
Maurice: Ya saying that when we’ve had a murderous robot unit, Slash, The Rat Pack, a blue portal and Samoa Joe?!?!??!
Karab: Yes.
Maurice clenches his fist and pulls it back, but ruffles Karabs hair
Maurice: You picky shit.
Dick: IS EVERYONE DONE YET?!
Brick: Yeah, I think we’ve got everyone..
John, Jim, Jimmy and Bill walk down, wearing tuxedos and accompanied by several PMC troopers
Jimmy; Hi guys!
Phil: NOW it’s Christmas!
That Hispanic Guy: How are the bit parts?
Jimmy: Not bad! Just got a christmas truce like World War 1!
Praying Mantis PMC Troop: Yup! A ceasefire for some food!
Jim: Wow..smells good!
Dean: Let’s rock! Everyones here!
Cash: Not everyone!
A blue portal appears behind them and Johnny Cash, Slash, Tom Morello, Zack De La Rocha, Brad Wilk, Timmy C, Frank Sinatra, Samoa Joe, Kurt Angle, Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Jeff Jarrett and Al Bundy appear. A beam of light shines down and Chuck Norris floats down to harp music before landing
Chuck Norris: Got extras?
Dick: GET THE FOOD!!
The mercenaries yell and start to rush towards their houses.
=======
With everyone sat at the decorated 3 long tables in the middle of the sandy street, Dick walks out out of the Lamb and Flag, carrying a large turkey in a tray with a towel. The mercenaries ‘ooh’ and aah’ as he places it on the middle table. Steve emerges from his flat carrying a tray with a huge joint of beef. The crowd cheers and bangs their forks on the table loudly as Steve places the joint on the top table. Johan walks out, carrying a whole roast pig in a huge industrial-sized tray, and places it on the bottom table to loud cheers
Dick: GRUBS UP!!
There’s a huge cheer as the mercenaries dive for the nearest plates. Steve quickly grabs the beef and hacks off several slices, flipping them randomly onto peoples plates. Phil takes a mouthful and grins
Phil: Hey..Steve..Good work on the joint!
Steve: Aye!
Morello: Mm..delicious!
Phil: Gravys a secret recipe!
Johan: You like pork?
Dick: Nice..succulent..how’d ya cook it?
Bobby: Half an hour over a jet engine on a spit!
Dick, Johnny Cash and Samoa Joe stop chewing, but laugh and continue to chew.
Karab: Wow..this turkeys good..
Frank: try some of this wine!
Frank downs another glass and pours some more into his glass
Dave: Trust Frank to go for the hair of the dog..
They all chuckle and Frank grins, shrugging
Frank: Break character I won’t!
Screaming Mantis: Kudos to the turkey cookers!
That Random Guy and That Other Random Guy hi-5. Obese Maurice eats his vegetables slowly
Maurice: I say, this cauliflower cheese is quite esoteric, I say you must try it Vincent!
Vince: Uhhh...ok..
Vince grabs a spoonful and places it on his plate, taking a forkful and putting it in his mouth
vince: OH GOD! There’s an orgy in my mouth!
Mr. Moneypennies: Oo..that turkey look nice Brick dude!
The snake slithers off Bricks arm and onto the plate, taking a huge bite of turkey
brick: Woah! Slow down Mr. Moneypennies!
Mr. Moneypennies: Ah..my shizzle dude!
Dean sits, staring at his plate of pork. He pokes it with his fork uneasily. Moe leans over with a mouth full of stuffing
Moe the Midget: You gonna eat that?
Dean: Where’s the spice? The grease?
Karab: Ah, Mr. Wilkinson sir! All food is not spiced and greased! We live a corrupt lifestyle and so must eat twice as much over Christmas to make up for it!
Deans eye twitches slightly and Jon pats him on the back
Jon: Eat up you moron!
Chuck Norris telepaths the gravy boat to his plate and heaps it onto his beef before passing it to Samoa Joe
Samoa Joe: We all got christmas at our homes..why are we here?
Kurt Angle: Don’t complain Joe! It’s Christmas! A season of good will to all men!
Samoa Joe: And mercenaries?
Steve: That’s a biggie! Don’t forget that!
Dick: You gonna make a toast, Frank?
Frank puts his empty pint glass onto the table
Frank: Toast?
Phil: Toast. You know..for the brave mercenaries who went out this year and kicked some ass while being very random about it?
Crying Wolf: Yeah!
Phil: You’re not a mercenary..in fact, in the past you’ve tried to kill us!
Wolf: Oh Phil! Let it go!
Phil: Not until you apologize for crushing my ribs!
Wolf: Oh..Phil! That is so several months ago!
Will: You are so goddamn insane..
Will starts licking plate his clean
That Hispanic Guy: ...Ew
Bob is busy eating his turkey, wearing a christmas paper hat
Bob: Wow..Christmas with you insane people! Never thought it would happen!
Dave: IT IS!
Dave smashes the neck of his beer bottle over his head and starts drinking
Laughing Octopus: You know..normal people use a bottle opener..
Bob: But where’s the fun in that?
Dave gives the thumbs up
Dave: Hear hear!
Johan passes some chestnuts to That Random Guy
Johan: Chestnuts good with stuffing. Johan now like chestnuts!
That Random Guy: Here, try my roast potatoes!
That Random Guy drops a spoonful onto Johans plate. Johan skewers one on his fork and downs it in one, his eyes going haywire. He stands up
Johan: JOHAN DECLARE ROAST POTATO AS GOD FOOD!
Silence. Johan sits down.
Johan: Johan thought it would be good to hail friends food.
Al: Anyone tried the home brew yet?
Dean: Al..The Half Moon has won the best brewers award for 4 years running..besides which, Franks on his 3rd crate

Chuck Norris: Here’s to the cameo appearances from famous people who appear to help us out, and who wouldn’t make the adventure half as fun! Or easy!
All: HAIL FAMOUS PEOPLE!
Sal stands up
Sal: here’s to us
Everyone stands up
Everyone: To us!
They all sit down, cheering, except Frank
Frank: And here’s to you all! An ass-kicking, head-smashing group of insane psychopaths who never turn their backs on anything! To a group of individuals who give a new meaning to under-dog, but fight until their bones turn to granite! To a force of people willing to fight for everything they believe in! HEre’s to us mercenaries, the unsung heroes!
All: TO MERCENARIES!!
Everyone stands up and cheers wildly. Vince starts sobbing into Sals shoulder
Vince: SO BEAUTIFUL! SO BEAUTIFUL!
Sal: it’s ok..it’s all true..
Dean, That Random Guy, That Other Random Guy and That Hispanic Guy group hug. Obese Maurice, Moe the Midget and Dick Head group hug and raise their pints. Frank, Will, Steve, Crying Wolf, Screaming Mantis, Bob, Phil, Bill and Dave all group together and hi-5. Jimmy, Jim and Bill all group together and start chatning ‘Mercenary!’. The cameo appearances are still getting on with their dinner as Al pulls out a British flag and waves it, singing the national anthem. Billy, Johan and Bobby all share bearhugs, while Raging Raven and Will start making out
Dick: NOW WHO WANTS PUDDING?!
All: PUDDING!!!
Everyone mobs Dick, screaming at the top of their lungs
====
Frank sits on the steps of his flat, watching as the final lights go out. Dave walks out and pats his shoulder
Dave: How do, Frank?
Frank: Do great..give us a light?
Dave reaches into the flat and grabs a box of matches, striking one of the box and lighting a cuban cigar in Franks mouth. He takes a few puffs and gives a sigh of happiness
Frank: I love being head of mercenaries..you know that? feels like we’re a big, happy family on days like these..
Dave: That we are..hey..where is everyone, anyway?
Frank: Home.
Dave: But Bob?
Frank: Ahh..Bobs taken octopus to the lake..date, y’know..soppy crap
Dave: And Will?
Frank: Giving Raven the Studlin treatment.
Dave: Come to think of it..never saw Johan go home--
Frank: Johan and Bobby have went to the Lamb and Flag.
Dave: Ahh..
Frank nods and puffs the cigar
Frank: Earthy..yet woody..
Dave: Mm. Nice. And Sal?
Frank: Sals getting his car buffed..
Dave: And Phil and Steve?
Frank takes a deep puff of the cigar and blows the smoke out slowly
Frank: Steves gone for a drink at the Half Moon..but Phil..Thats the strangest thing...
In Phil, Steve and Wolfs flat, Phil slowly comes to and sits up
Phil: Oh..god..I had the worst nightmare..
He looks up, where Wolf is sitting on the bed, wearing skimpy lingerie
Phil: ..No..just..no..
Wolf: Y’know Phil..you’ve been awfully nice to me lately..so I figured it wouldn’t be nice to leave you..empty handed..You go through so much pain..so much misery..gunbattles, robot battles, barfights--
Phil looks up
Phil: Death CAN’T be this busy!
Wolf: --So..get ready to strap in..and feel the Gs
Phil: I’d love to..but
He gives a fake sneeze
Phil: I’m allergic to sex..
Wolf: Bullshit, get on the bed. NOW.
Phil: No.
Wolf: Yes..
Phil: Make me.
Phils Brain: Wait..SHIT! YOU IDIOT!
Wolf stands up and grabs him by his collar, dragging him up and onto the bed, pinning him down
Wolf: Ready for 6 hours of fun?
Phil: STOP! MY INSIDES ARE SHRIVELLING! I CAN’T SURVIVE 6--NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
==
Frank hears the screams and waves it off
Dave: ..Weird
Frank: Go get some rest..it’s been a big day..
Dave: You too Frank!
Frank: A man needs to enjoy his cigar..
Dave pats his shoulder and shuts the door. Frank watches the setting sun and takes a deep puff again, breathing it out his nostrils
Frank: Peaceful..
A few flakes of snow fall and he stands up, throwing his cigar butt into the street where it blows gently in the wind. He turns around--
Mantis: Frankkkk...
Frank stops
Frank: Mantis?
He turns around and sees Mantis with her hands on his chest
Mantis: Baby..let’s go back to my place and get cosy..
Frank: I’d love to..but--
Franks brain: Bobs dead
Frank; Bobs dead
Mantis: I just saw him at the lake, skinny dipping with Occy..Come on Frank..
Franks brain: Fuck.
Frank: You have a flat?
Mantis: Sorta..
Frank: Ok..this I gotta see--
Franks brain: NO! REVERSE! UNDO! ESCAPE! CITARIL!
Mantis: Sure! Follow me!
Frank stands there, dumbstruck. But he shrugs and follows her
--
Frank: Wow..
Mantis beckons to the room of a one-room flat, decorated in pictures of unicorns
Mantis: Heh..I love unicorns..
Frank: ...THIS IS INSANE! But cute..
Mantis makes a ‘come here’ sign with her index finger. Frank turns and watches the final lights of the city go out. He smirks and turns to Mantis, who lays on her bed
Mantis: Rooowwww...
Frank: Heh...Grrrowwwlll..
He smirks and lays on top of her, slowly turning off the light as the scene fades.

Frank rushes in front of the panning camera and holds it still on him
Frank: On the seven days of Christmas my true love came to me..
He gives the thumbs up to Screaming Mantis

She had two trainers and a beanie hat,
A new set of headphones all shining black!

With a ho ho and a silent night,
A little chipolata I'll be feeling alright
