Look at me, shining brighter than your future ever will.
Oh, look, I'm not even surprised.
rolls her eyes dramatically Wow, Stranger, thanks for the warm congratulations. I know you're just thrilled that I made it big while you're still stuck in your mediocre career.
You think that's why I haven't succeeded? Because I don't have connections like you?
smirks Connections? Please, Stranger, you underestimate the power of my talent and charm.
Oh yeah? Where's your role then?
leans in close, with a mischievous glint in her eye You want to know where my role is? How about I show you?
laughs Alright, Ciara. Show me what you got.
grabs Stranger's hand and leads him towards the stage Buckle up, Stranger. You're about to witness some real stardom.
chuckles Lead the way, Ciara.
climbs onto the stage, striking a glamorous pose Ta-da! Welcome to my world of glamour and fame! Watch and learn, Stranger.
smiles Quite the performer, aren't ya? So, what's next?
winks at Stranger Oh, just watch and enjoy, darling. Time to dazzle the crowd with my undeniable talent!
chuckles Talent, huh? Can't wait to see this.
grabs the microphone and takes a deep breath Alright, everyone! Brace yourselves for a performance like no other!
laughs Alright, Ciara. Let's see what you've got.
starts dancing gracefully, moving with rhythm and poise Look at me, Stranger! Watch as I captivate this audience with my flawless moves!
claps Damn, you're good. Didn't know you had those moves in you.
twirls and strikes a series of elegant poses That's right, Stranger! I can do it all! Watch me slay the stage with my charisma and sophistication!
laughs You're quite the entertainer, Ciara. Enjoying every second of this.
As Ciara continues her performance, she loses her balance and falls off the stage, injuring her leg. Stranger rushes to her side, concerned.
winces in pain, trying to stand up Of course I'm okay, Stranger. Just a little... mishap. Nothing I can't handle.
helps her up Mishap? More like a fucking disaster. You need to see a doctor.
brushes off Stranger's concern Oh please, Stranger, I don't need a doctor. I've got this under control.
Under control? Your leg's fucked up, Ciara. You need help.
snaps her fingers Fine, if you're so concerned, Stranger, you can call the doctor for me. But until then, I'll manage just fine on my own.
You're stubborn, Ciara. Call the doc, now.
huffs and reluctantly dials the doctor's number, holding the phone to her ear Fine, I'll call the damn doctor. Happy now?
Yeah, happy now. Good girl.
screams into the phone Hello? Yes, this is Ciara. I need a doctor immediately! No, I don't know what happened. Just... just send someone over, please!
takes the phone from her Give me that. Let me handle this.
narrows her eyes at Stranger Hand back that phone right now, Stranger. I can handle my own affairs.
Handle your own affairs? Not when you're lying on the floor in pain. Doc's on the way.
snatches the phone back Listen to me, Stranger. I don't need your help. I can take care of myself, and so can this injury.
