Marvel One-Shot: All Hail the King Page #2

associated with the Mandarin.

Officially they're dormant,

but evidence suggests

that they're becoming more active.

What, the Ten Rings? Are they real?

It's well documented.

That is so cool.

Trevor, you told me

that when you got this role

that you'd researched it thoroughly.

Yeah, but when an actor tells you

he's "done the research,"

it means he's switched on

his computer,

Googled his own name

and had a quick wank.

So, you mean to tell me

that you don't know the history

of the Mandarin himself.

He was a warrior-king.

Inspired generations of men

through the Middle Ages,

perhaps even further back in time.

Blah, blah, blah.

Who bloody cares, mate?

It's a show people want

and I gave them a good one.

It's not the Mandarin they'll remember.

It's the name, "Trevor Slattery."

It's the brand. "Trev."

You're right.

And for that sin,

you will soon suffer horribly

with a hole in your body

for every ring of our faith.

So... Sorry. What?

You heard me.

Oh! Get up, big lad. Get up.

You.

You killed my butler.

You're not capable of pulling

that trigger, Mr. Slattery.

I'm an out of work actor, love.

You have no idea what I'm capable of.

And, thanks to the CBS network,

I'm pretty good with a handgun.

Oh...

Consider this a lesson in what's real

and what's not.

Why do people keep pointing

guns at my head?

Please. I don't want to die.

I don't want to die.

Target acquired and in position.

Extraction unit, mobilize.

I'm not the one

that's going to kill you, Mr. Slattery.

I'm here to break you out.

- That's nice.

- Not really.

You see, there's somebody

who wants to meet you.

- Do I know him?

No, but you took his name.

And now he wants it back.

Oh...

No. Sorry.

I still don't get it.

Uh... Mr. Slattery?

Me and the boys was just wondering

if you could, uh...

Do the voice.

Jackass.

Whatever.

Where have you been? I wrote a book

in the time you were gone.

And you'll never see me coming.

Look at this guy.

What is so special about him?

I mean, I had an army of robots.

What's he got?

He's got some dumb accent.

His name's Trevor. What is that?

It's like if bin Laden

and Benny Hill had a baby.

Then I got to wake up

and look at this chick?

"Pepper Potts stirs up stuff."

"Look at me."

Some second-rate, jumped up,

Amazon secretary.

Tony and I...

Tony's cool.

Tony and I, we have an understanding.

We're brothers in arms, you know.

Literally. We were both arms dealers.

We're both good-looking.

We both have nice hair.

We both have boats.

I used to have a boat.

Well, anyway...

Not here, baby. Not here.
