Triple H: "This better be good, Bischoff, what do you want?"

Eric Bischoff:"Well, it's not what *I* want, it's - it's what YOU want. See, you've been interrogating RAW superstars all night long, trying to find out exactly who attacked Shawn Michaels, so I've got a surprise for you. I've set up a satellite feed from San Antonio, live, so you can talk to Shawn Michaels yourself."

Triple H: "Hey Shawn!"
Shawn Michaels: "Hey Hunter."

Triple H: "Shawn, ah, I don't know if you've uh, if you got my messages at all but - how you doin', man? How you feelin'?"

Shawn Michaels: "I got your messages, and...you know, I'm doing okay. Or, I'm doing as okay as I can be doing for a guy that got his head thrown through a car window."

Triple H: "Shawn, um... I feel, I feel horrible, I mean - you know - you always hear stories about people that - they got in an argument with a loved one, and then this tragedy happens and they feel guilty about it their entire life, and I just couldn't feel..."

Michaels: "Hey - Hunter, Hunter, look, man - you and I are cool. All right? I want you to know that. We've had our differences in the past, I know that, but we have always - always been able to work them out between each other, man to man and face to face. I need you to know that I've, I've heard, you know, what you've said over the last couple weeks... and I got the point."

Eric Bischoff: "All right, enough of the small talk - I mean, this satellite time isn't cheap. [böserBlick von Triple H] I mean, what - what I really mean to say is, look - I don't want you two to get cut off."

Triple H "Listen, don't get your panties in a bunch, huh? Shawn...I've been goin' around this building all night tryin' to find out what happened to ya and I'm gettin' nowhere to be quite frank. Just - I mean, did you see anything, did you - man, you got any idea who did this to ya?"

Michaels: "Hunter, the only thing I know for sure is that the guy jumped me from behind. I mean, and after that man, I don't, I mean I don't remember anything, I woke up in the hospital."

Triple H "Shawn, I swear to you and I swear in front of all these people, I'm gonna find out who did this to you. And when I find out who did this, that person is a marked man..."

Michaels: "Hey, hey. Hunter, take, take it easy. The police in Greensboro sent me some surveillance footage. Apparently they had a, one of those security cameras out back, ah, you know, back in the parking lot. And they sent me the footage, and if I can get these guys here to, to set that up for me, I think if we watch this, we might possibly be able to figure out just who did this. Can you guys run that for me? Now you have to watch, up in the upper right hand corner, it's pretty blurry but you have to watch."

[Shawn spielt das Video des Angriffs ein, wer es war, ist aber nicht zu erkennen]

Triple H "Uh, d... I mean, damn, Shawn, you, you can't even see anything on that - I mean, that doesn't prove anything, and Shawn, you know I've been thinking about this and... you're not safe - whoever did this to you could do this again at any time, you need to be careful."

Michaels: "Look... uh... heh - the, the modern technology that they have today is, is crazy, I don't understand it, but they've told me that what they can do is ah, you know, those computers and everything, they can enhance this - ah, you'll get a closeup shot of this and they can clear it up a little bit. So, let's - can we do that, you guys, let's roll that and... [Er spielt das digital nachbearbeitete Video ein, dass Hunter klar als Angreifer enthüllt] It was YOU, Hunter."

Triple H [setzt ein fieses Lachen auf] "Yu're damn right it was me, Shawn! You damn right. And I'm glad you found out, I'm glad you know the truth! You know why, Shawn? I was trying to prove a point. And the point is, Shawn, that you are weak. You are vulnerable! That's why you need me, Shawn! That's why you need to be by my side. That's why I wanted you as my manager, Shawn - so I could protect you! Shawn, I could have protected you, but nooooooo - your ego, your pride wouldn't let that happen, would it, Shawn? No. Shawn, I coulda crippled you in that parking lot, but I didn't. I stopped. I didn't finish the job. But you know what? Nobody else woulda stopped. They would finished the job. They woulda crippled your ass. Then what, Shawn? What would you have done then when you were a crippled mess, huh? What would you have done when you could no longer walk?"

Michaels: "You think I'm weak? You think I'm vulnerable? That I can't defend myself anymore? I recognise that I'm not in the best of shape right now - but the doctors have told me that I'll make a full recovery. In fact, they say I'll be 100% - 100% by say, ah.... SummerSlam?"

Triple H "SummerSlam, Shawn? Was that some kind of a challenge?"
Michaels: "You're damn right."

Triple H "Shawn! C'mon. What, what are you gonna do, are you gonna talk me to death? Huh? Shawn - face facts - YOU CAN'T WRESTLE ANYMORE! You're done! It's over! Your career in this ring, Shawn - it's FINISHED! H-B-K is DEAD. And whether you like it or anybody else likes it, there's a new Game in town - and Shawn, this time... I won't stop. You go through with this, I won't stop - I'll finish the job, Shawn - I will cripple your ass. And what then? Huh? What then. What if... Shawn, what if, when it's all over, you can't walk anymore? What if, when it's over, Shawn, you can't pick up your two-year-old son anymore? What if, Shawn, when this is over, you can't hold your wife anymore? Or even worse, Shawn, what if...you can't satisfy your wife anymore.... as a man?"

Michaels: "Don't you even THINK about my wife and my son. I know I can't wrestle anymore. If I felt like displaying my ability, I'd have done it four years ago - I know that I'm no longer the Showstopper! But I can still fight. And as a man, sometimes you've gotta know when to talk - sometimes you gotta know when to walk away. Sometimes you gotta know when to fight - and the time to fight is now. In a couple weeks, I'm gonna walk down to that ring for the last time - not to wrestle, but to fight, and fight you, Hunter. And in front of the entire world, I'm gonna show my little boy...sometimes, just sometimes, you've gotta FIGHT...to be a MAN."
