Disappointment
We arrive at a wrestling training facility where DIANA's boyfriend DANTE is already waiting for her. DANTE's preparing the last part of her training today as she arrives at the facility.
DANTE: "So you decided to show up after all, I thought that after that little outburst this morning you weren't gonna talk to me for the rest of the day and you were going to ignore me completely anytime I try to talk to you but... here you are.
DIANA: "I know that I need help when it comes to in-ring stuff and right now, you're the only one that I know who can help me."
DANTE: "Shall we get started then?"
DIANA: "Sure."
DANTE grabs a cardboard box from underneath the ring and holds it in his hands.
DIANA: "What's that?"
DANTE: "This is what you'll be getting if you are able to climb to the top of that rope by the end of today. This box is filled with pop tarts and other sugary products that I bought from the Black Friday sale and all you have to do is climb that rope and unhook it from the hook that's next to the rope."
DIANA looks up and sees a very long rope hanging from the ceiling.
DIANA: "How the hell am I supposed to get up there?"
DANTE: "Trust me, if you listen to my instructions you'll get there."
DANTE hands DIANA some weights and smiles.
DANTE: "Let's start with some light weightlifting."
We then see a training montage which includes DIANA climbing monkey bars, lifting weights that keep getting heavier and heavier, trying to climb the rope over and over again and finally reaching the top and grabbing the cardboard box that's hanging from a hook that's attached to the ceiling, she celebrates at the top of the rope and DANTE gives her a round of applause.
DANTE: "Alright, I'd say that you've earned your reward... open up that box."
DIANA opens the box but it's empty.
DIANA: "You... motherfu-"
DANTE: "Woah woah woah, before you have another outburst you might wanna look at the bigger picture here."
DIANA: "What bigger picture? There is no bigger picture, you lied to me and I will not forget it."
DANTE: "The reason why I lied to you was to teach you how to deal with disappointment... it's something that I never learned during my wrestling career but something that I learned after it. You're gonna lose, it's bound to happen sometimes but how you deal with losing and what you do after is what counts the most, you can't let those losses get to you because if you do, you're gonna go down a path that you might never return from and I can't let that happen to you."
DIANA: "I love you."
DANTE: "And I love you too. Now are you ready for the next part of your training?"
DIANA: "Next part!? I thought we were done."
DANTE: "Oh we're done... for today, but we'll continue tomorrow, I just need to make a call to an old associate of mine who I hear recently got out of prison. I'll talk to you later babe."
DANTE kisses DIANA on the cheek and they both walk off.
DANTE calls his associate and we hear a familiar voice answer his call.
