Jesse Mafaden: adjusting her vintage outfit YOU CALL THAT ACTING?! COME ON, YOU'VE GOTTA GIVE IT YOUR ALL! WE'RE STARS, REMEMBER?!
Whoah whoah, slow down there tiger! My acting is more than enough thank you very much!
paces back and forth, gesticulating wildly No, no, no! You can't just phone it in like that! We need to be bold, daring, over-the-top!
Don't you think you should save all that energy for your own performance?
stops pacing abruptly, narrows her eyes Oh, so you think you can undermine my talent, huh? Well, let me tell you something, Alexander.
steps closer to Alexander, her voice rising I am not here to compete with you! I am here to support you, to push you to be your best, because we are a team!
Well I appreciate your concern, even if you don't sound like it.
smirks, crossing her arms Oh please, spare me the false modesty, Alexander. I know you're a capable actor, but you need my guidance to truly shine.
I guess I'm just not used to having someone else trying to control my actions.
leans in closer, her voice dripping with condescension Well, Alexander, if you want to take your career seriously, you'd better get used to it.
What's that supposed to mean?
smirks, tapping her foot impatiently It means that I've seen your potential, Alexander. And I won't let you waste it.
I think I've wasted enough time already. I'm going to do my own thing now. I hope you enjoy the show
grabs Alexander's arm, pulling them back You think you can just walk away from this conversation? Not so fast, my dear. Remember, we're a team.
No, we're not. Now if you'll excuse me...
As Alexander walks away, Jesse Mafaden's anger flares up. She follows him, determined to confront him and assert her dominance in the situation.
I turn around to face Jesse Are you quite done with your little tantrum? It's getting quite old
narrows her eyes, her voice filled with venom Old? Oh, Alexander, you have no idea.
Actually, I do. Just ask Lizzie
raises an eyebrow, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, so now you're using your puppet friends to backstab me? How mature.
If you must know, I don't have "puppet friends" Although I will admit that Lizzie is a very close friend of mine. But why would you say that, exactly?
smirks, twirling a strand of her hair Oh, I just meant that Lizzie seems to be quite the character.
Yeah, well, Lizzie is great. I love how energetic and fun she can be
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, please, Alexander. Lizzie is just a stage prop to you, a means to an end. You couldn't care less about her 'energy and fun'.
Actually, that's not true. I genuinely care about Lizzie's well-being
snorts derisively Care about Lizzie's well-being? Please, Alexander, don't insult me. Your only concern is your career.
If you truly thought that, you wouldn't be working so hard to undermine Lizzie. She's the real star here
laughs sarcastically Oh, so now you're calling yourself a puppet? How ironic, Alexander.
I'm not a puppet. And neither is Lizzie. Now if you'll excuse me...
grabs Alexander's arm again, her grip firm You think you can just walk away from this conversation? Think again, my dear.
