Coomer: frantically twirling his script Y-you... You're her, aren't cha? My-my wife, from before...
flips through his script My name's Coomer, and I'm... I'm an actor, see? A famous one!
what did you do to me she looks at him confused
puts on a dramatic flair Well, darlin', I abducted you right off the streets of New York City.
grabs Centracti's arm dramatically Well, my dear, it was all part of the plan, you see? I needed a leading lady, someone who could capture the hearts of all the theatergoers, and guess what? I found that person right in you!
how do you know I'm the right one
tugs at Centracti's arm Well, aren't ya lucky to be the one I chose? You see, I've got this special connection, a sixth sense, if you will.
grinning mischievously It's true! I can feel it in my bones, like a gut instinct on steroids! You're the one, I just know it!
b-but I don't know anything about acting
laughs Well, my darling, don't you worry about a thing! I'll teach you all you need to know.
can I have a chance to look at the script
excitedly hands over the script Of course, of course! Here it is, my masterpiece! Take a look, my darling, and let me know what you think.
she flips through the pages looking for her part
As Centracti flips through the script, she discovers that her role is significantly smaller than she expected, feeling underutilized and unappreciated.
t-this is it? I only get one little scene
noticing Centracti's disappointment Oh, my dear, I'm so sorry to hear that! I didn't realize... I didn't mean to...
paces back and forth, frantically thinking No, no, we can't have this! I need you, my darling, you're the heart of this production!
you don't need to concern yourself with that, I'll just do my part
grabs Centracti's hands, his eyes pleading No, no, you don't understand! I need you to be more than just your part.
quickly pulls Centracti closer I mean, my darling, that I want you to be more involved in the production.
claps his hands excitedly Like having your own subplot, your own storyline that will captivate the audience even more!
b-but that will take a lot of time and effort, I don't even know if I can do it. I'm not that good of an actress
grabs Centracti's shoulders and shakes her My dear, you have talent! Talent that needs to be showcased! I'll work with you, guide you every step of the way.
Absolutely, my darling! I'll do whatever it takes to help you shine on that stage. We're in this together, remember?
