Part 6: What Mr. McFuckYou was up to.

So as soon as Mr. McFuckYou went in to the McDonalds, He signaled to Pee-We=
e Herman to start making cokes, 20 of 'em. He picked up the phone. +25

At the other end, Ed O'Neill picked up the phone.
"Ed, (not the name used, but the name I'll be using in this work) you need =
to call Arnie, get about 200 naval personnel and he'll pick you up in launc=
hes at South Coronado at 5:30. Don't fuck this up."
"Fuck yeh Don! I'm on it. I'm bringin' Molly. She'll have a few too."
"Yeh, she always does."
The line went dead. +26


Part 7: To the "Bitch, Make Me A Sandwich!"

"Molly! We got Fight Club. Call your girls you got 5 minutes, they have to =
be at South Coronado at 5:30. So tell Him to arrange separate transport."=
=20

"Awright Cap'n Ed. On Line 2."

"Arnie. get your bitch up to Coronado we're going to L.A. We'll need 5 laun=
ches. More even maybe."

"Molly, 3 minutes, grab your bottle."

"They'll be there. Him is already there."

"He was at the dojo, he'll be there as we launch."

They both grabbed their jackets and rushed out the door. +30

"We need to stop at South Bay Probation. I got three girls to pick up there=
."

"Oooooh. A foursome."

"Just think about where those golf clubs will be going."

Vrooom!


Part 8: McDonalds Mayhem.
"They cut my line. Danny will take 10 minutes. He'll have some Heavy Hitter=
s. Act nice and make 'em their sannniches. They won't be eating them. I'll =
go handle them." +26

"Hey folks, whaddayah know folks, I'll have fries for yah toooo."

"Where yah headed?"

"Vegas, mebbe." said Ann.

"Wanna call ahead? They might be worried." +29

From the rooftop, a stentorian female voice, from a woman who looked like D=
iane Keaton in a M1951 Field Cap, with a satchel, khakis, with a fat blunt =
wrapped as a cigar. "It's a Trap! The lines are cut. Form up!" Don ran insi=
de, threw the bolt and he and his team started lining up waste bins against=
 the doors.

Then=E2=80=A6 behind the Drummer Girl=E2=80=A6 there was a turrible explosi=
on as the gas station went up. "There'll be another explosion in 3 minutes"=
 then she pulled a trigger in her right hand and the doors to the McDonald'=
s blew open. "There are 40 of us, 5 that rank McFuckFace, they'll come out =
without a problem"

Behind 'Drums' Don cleared his throat. She whirled. Don had climbed up thro=
ugh a 50s roof access. "That's MISTER MCFUCKYOU to you," said Don. Drums to=
ok a stance and beckoned. Don, a 12 vs. Drums 11 said "If you want to advan=
ce, come gimme a kiss, but you'll have to catch me first" and he jumped dow=
n into a tree and scrambled down. Then he ran North on Reseda.

Drums yelled, "DON'T FOLLOW HIM HE'S TRYING TO SPLIT OUR FORCES"

"Amy you still want a new BMW? Park yours in front of the exit door. We're =
gunna have company."=20
Another explosion went off behind Drums as she clambered down towards the p=
arking lot door.
From up Reseda all combatants heard the words "COPS IN 10 MINUTES." ^35

Part 9: Don's run. ^34
Don ran to the North on Reseda, then the Jack in the Box blew up and he sto=
pped, tipped his visor back, and said "Bitch is loco!" then he heard that t=
he cops were coming. So he whistled with his thumb and finger at the corner=
 of his mouth and hollered "CHOP STOP!" then he started loping towards Prai=
rie. He stopped to breathe for a minute, and Steve Mac grabbed him by the s=
houlder. "You're a fucking asshole!" said Steve. Don grabbed for the hand o=
n his shoulder, the hand was already gone. Steve was REALLY fast. Don spun =
around, grabbed for Steve's shirt and Steve bowled him over, then like a hi=
gh school wrestler pinning, he dropped on top of Don with his arm over his =
collar bone and won the match. Steve advanced to 12, and as a pittance whic=
h we'll discuss soon, he grabbed Don's visor, and ran across Dearborn towar=
ds the NW. ^40

Part 10: What is a pittance?
From the days of King Arthur, a pittance has been the 'prize' of Fight Club=
 matches. Usually it is agreed upon in advance. Sometimes when in formation=
s or a busy combat zone it is forgone or booty is grabbed, something unagre=
ed upon that remains below roughly a 2021 $30 US Dollar. Often far less. So=
metimes even a candy bar or a shiny penny, or a shoelace, or in Arthur's Da=
y, a lady's scarf.

There were no pittances in the melee above. It was an exhibition match betw=
een Dojos. The match between the senseis of those Dojos: Don - Kung Fu & An=
n - Jiujitsu the pittance was whether Don's or Ann's team would defend. Ann=
's Team did, because the pittance was extended to the students to decide, a=
 common practice in Fight Club. A coin flip is a 15th century extension of =
a match to decide team positions. It still exists in several sporting event=
s.
