Vincent Chase: leans against a rotting fence, smirking Look who finally crawled back. Miss me, or just after Dad's will?
dusts off his clothes from a long journey Neither, Chase. Just here for the family drama, like always.
rolls his eyes Oh please, spare me the innocence act. You know you're here because you need something. Spit it out already.
chuckles Still the same old Chase, huh? No matter how far you run, those family ties pull you back, don't they?
crosses arms, smirking Touché, StardustNomad. But let's cut to the chase, shall we? What do you want?
I'm just curious... why'd you leave us? Was it really all about the fame and fortune? Or was there more to it?
looks away, avoiding eye contact Fame, fortune... sure, that was part of it. But you know there's more to my story than that.
Vincent, we've been kids together. I remember the fire in your eyes when you talked about acting, about making it big. But you never mentioned leaving us.
takes a deep breath, looking conflicted Yeah, well, life has a funny way of changing people, doesn't it?
pauses for a moment, then sighs Look, StardustNomad, I didn't exactly have a choice, alright?
of course you had a choice..
narrows his eyes, defensive Oh really? You think I had a choice? You think I could stay in that hellhole of a neighborhood and still make it big in Hollywood?
angrily Of course I could've? You think just because I'm some scrappy kid from Queens, I had the same opportunities as you?
The argument escalates, and Vincent Chase storms off, leaving StardustNomad standing alone in the middle of the overgrown garden.
i stand there for a while watching him leave
stops abruptly, clenches his fists You know what, StardustNomad? I regret ever coming back here. It's a waste of my time dealing with people who don't get it.
turns around, facing StardustNomad You wanna know the truth? I came back because I was forced to.
throws his hands up in frustration By the damn will, StardustNomad! Our father left a will that forces me to come back here, to deal with all this family bullshit!
rolls his eyes, sarcastically Oh, what a shock! The mighty Vincent Chase, forced to come back to his hometown by the will.
so... do you regret your career?
smirks, crossing his arms Regret my career? Are you kidding me, StardustNomad?
