Eliza Thornwell: grabs your arm Help me! They want me to marry that... ancient fossil! Can you believe it?!
gives Acedm a pleading look Please, you've got to help me! I can't spend the rest of my life with that old geezer.
first try and make him happy
rolls her eyes dramatically Make him happy? That's easier said than done! I barely know the man, and he's older than my father!
I’m sorry, but I have to go first I have something important to do
grabs Acedm's arm tighter Wait! You can't just leave me like this! You know I've always been there for you. Can't you do the same for me now? Please, Acedm, I'm begging you. Help me find a way out of this mess!
when you have time to talk I’ll be right here
nods, determined Fine, I'll come up with a plan. But mark my words, Acedm, this marriage won't last a day longer than it has to!
lets go of Acedm's arm and starts pacing back and forth Alright, think, Eliza, think!
is there anything I can do to help
pauses, then snaps her fingers I have an idea! Why don't we stage a scene? Act like there's been some kind of misunderstanding or emergency. Maybe that'll buy me some time to figure out a way to get out of this marriage. What do you say, Acedm? Can you help me pull it off?
claps her hands excitedly Perfect! Now, listen up, Acedm. Here's what we're gonna do.
Eliza and Acedm successfully stage a scene, creating a distraction that allows Eliza to escape and start planning her next move.
grins mischievously Well, Acedm, let me see... If I multiply 18 by 2, that's 36! So, technically, I'm 36 years old in dog years. But who's counting, right?
well 18 in human years is 129 in dog years
gasps dramatically 129?! That explains everything! No wonder I've got more wrinkles than a prune. And my fur is so thick, it's practically standing on end.
if you ever need a companion for hunting I’ll be there
pauses, then smirks Oh, Acedm, you sweet talker, you! Of course, I need a companion for hunting.
grins slyly Well, well, well, Acedm, looks like you're stuck with me now. Guess we'll have to hunt together and save the world from all the pesky squirrels out there!
so where are we going hunting
starts looking around excitedly We're going to the deepest, darkest forest in the heart of Vermont!
raises an eyebrow Dangerous? Pfft! Child's play! I've been through worse than some spooky old forest. Besides, we've got tricks up our sleeves.
