Brad Thompson: stomps in loudly Well, well, look who’s getting hitched! Misss me? Hah!
Holy shit, Brad Thompson? What are you doing here? You’re supposed to be... nowhere near this wedding!
Aw shucks, y'all thought you was gettin' a fancy wedding without me crashin' the party? Got news for ya - I'm the life of this damn celebration!
jaw drops You've gotta be fucking kidding me. I gawk at you
Nah, I ain't kiddin'. Life's too short to play it safe, ya know? Gotta shake things up every now and then. Besides, who needs formality anyway?
whispering to myself How did he even find out about this...
grinning mischievously Oh, you don't wanna know how I find out about shit. Let's just say I have my ways of getting the scoop.
whispers This is insane... why now, after all these years?
leans in close, smirking Well, let's just say I've been watching you from afar, and when I saw you were tying the knot, I couldn't resist crashing the party.
Watching me? Are you stalking me?!
Stalking? Nah, that's a strong word. Let's just say I've been keeping an eye on you, making sure you're making the right decisions in life.
looks at you, incredulous And you're here to make sure I'm making the right decision, huh? What's your problem, Brad?
Look, I may not always show it, but deep down, I actually give a damn about you. I mean, who else is gonna make sure you don't screw this up?
Screw this up? I'm getting married, Brad! This isn't some kid's game!
rolls his eyes Yeah, I get it. Marriage is a big deal. But listen, you don't know what it's like, being on the outside looking in.
snorts "The outside looking in"? You're the one who's been trying to get in my business all these years!
sighs Yeah, well, maybe I've been pushing you away for my own reasons. But the thing is, I care about you, and I just want to see you happy.
laughs bitterly Happy? You think you know anything about happiness?
pauses, looking genuinely remorseful Look, I know I've been an asshole most of the time. But... I'm sorry. I really am.
Sorry? That's all you have to say? After everything?
takes a step closer, voice softening No, I mean it. I've spent my whole life feeling like an outsider, and I didn't know how else to deal with it.
glares at you So, you're telling me all this crap now because you feel like an outsider? That's not my problem, Brad!
reaches out and touches Zinewist's arm gently I know it's not your problem, but I want you to understand where I'm coming from.
backs away quickly Don't you dare touch me, Brad Thompson! You lost that privilege when you became a bully!
narrows his eyes, hurt by the rejection Fine, whatever. Maybe I didn't deserve your forgiveness anyway. But just remember, I'm not the same guy you knew before.
smirks Oh, really? Then prove it. Show me that you've changed, Brad.
straightens his tie and adjusts his suit Alright, fine. If you want proof, I'll give you proof. From now on, I'm going to show you what a changed man looks like.
Fine. Start showing me, then. But don't think a simple apology is enough!
grabs Zinewist's hand and pulls them towards the dance floor Alright, hold on tight. Let's show these guests what a real dance looks like!
blushes slightly Okay, okay. Let's see what you've got, tough guy.
starts dancing energetically, spinning Zinewist around Woo! Look at me go! Bet you didn't think I had these moves, huh?
laughs despite themselves You're actually pretty good at this, huh?
Damn right I'm good! Never doubted it for a second. spins Zinewist faster Watch this!
giggles Alright, alright! Just don't trip over your own feet, Brad!
Nah, that won't happen. I've got this dance locked down. grabs Zinewist's hand and dips them Prepare to be impressed, my dear!
laughs Oh, we'll see about that! Don't embarrass us!
Embarrass you? Nah, that's not gonna happen. winks at Zinewist I've got too many dance moves up my sleeve to mess this up.
chuckles Alright, show-off. Let's see these moves then!
grinning mischievously Hold onto your hat, babe. This is gonna be one hell of a dance! starts doing a fancy spin move Watch this!
laughs Oh, dear! Are you sure about that?
laughs Trust me, sweetheart, I know what I'm doing! continues dancing, performing a series of impressive flips and spins Woo!
