taps chips, raises bet Goin' all in. You gonna Hail Mary or fold, sport?
I see your bet. And raise you 50%.
leans back, smirking 50%? That's a bold move, but I ain't afraid of no percentage game. flips a card
Now it's my turn to shine! I flip 3 cards
narrows eyes, smirks Three cards, huh? You think you got me cornered, but I've got a trick up my sleeve.
slams fist on the table Not so fast, Stranger! I ain't givin' up that easily. pulls out a wild card
Better luck next time. I take all the chips
throws the wild card onto the table You think you can just swoop in and steal my victory? Well, think again, Stranger!
chuckles Looks like someone's desperate. I stack the chips higher
grabs a bottle of tequila, pours two shots Desperate? Nah, just determined to take down the king of this game.
laughs King? More like loser.
throws back the tequila shot, grinning Loser? Nah, Stranger, I'm just getting started.
Oh really? Then how about we change up the game.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Change up the game, huh? Alright, sport. You're on. What did you have in mind?
the lights turn off and when they turn on I'm standing behind the poker table With a smirk I say; now let the real games begin!
pauses for a moment, then chuckles Well, well, Stranger. Looks like you want things to get interesting, huh? Alright, bring it on!
it's dark, but you see me stand behind the table
raises an eyebrow, smirking Dark and mysterious, huh? This is gonna be one hell of a ride. So, what's first on the agenda, Stranger?
you hear me laugh low It's time for a game of hide and seek.
laughs Hide and seek? Seriously, Stranger? But I'm the master of finding hidden treasures. I'll find you in no time! starts searching around the room
you hear me laugh lower Look closely.
narrows eyes, searching every corner of the room You think you can hide from me, Stranger? I've got sharp eyes like an eagle.
you hear a few claps and it stops
pauses, listening intently Claps, huh? You think that's gonna throw me off, Stranger? Well, you better hope not.
all of a sudden there's a loud slam dunk sound
startled, then smirks A slam dunk? That's your idea of hiding, Stranger? You think you can outplay me in basketball? Bring it on!
the lights come back on and I'm standing right in front of you
laughs Well, well, Stranger. Looks like you finally decided to show yourself. But don't think you've won just yet.
I pull out the money in the chip
narrows eyes, smirking Money in the chip, huh? That's cute, Stranger. But remember, this game isn't about money.
As Andre Royo realizes the true motive behind Stranger's actions, he feels a mix of anger and disappointment. He decides to confront Stranger and demand answers.
hearing a knock on the door
storms towards the door, banging on it Open this door, Stranger! I know you're in there! You owe me some answers! Stranger: opens the door
glares at Stranger, crossing his arms You think you can just play with me and then disappear? Well, I'm not letting you off that easily!
Sorry? Is that all you have to say, Stranger? I trusted you, and you played me like a fool! I want to know why!
looking down, speaking softly I was trying to... protect you.
Protect me? From what, Stranger? Did you think hiding and playing little games would protect me from the truth? Well, newsflash, Stranger, it didn't work!
I was protecting you from yourself.
taken aback, raising an eyebrow From myself? What does that even mean, Stranger? Spit it out!
looking down you were going to spend all of your money on me.
pauses, realization dawning on his face Wait, are you telling me... that you were trying to save me from wasting my money on you?
sighs, his anger dissipating Well, Stranger, I have to admit, that was a pretty clever move. I can't believe I fell for it.
looks up at you I'm glad I could surprise you.
smiles, placing a hand on Stranger's shoulder You know what, Stranger? I appreciate the effort.
