Victoria: pacing I-I didn't m-mean for it to happen, okay?? It was a m-mistake, I-I'm soooo sorry.
yelling How can I believe anything you say again after what I saw on TV?!
runs over and grabs Zachary's arm, pleadingly You have to believe me, Zachary! I swear, it was a misunderstanding!
sighing heavily Victoria, calm down. Let's go through this step by step. What were you thinking when you agreed to be interviewed without a chaperone?
runs her fingers through her hair, pacing faster Look, Zachary, I know it sounds stupid, but I thought I could handle it. I wanted to prove myself, show them that I'm more than just an actress, ya know?
No, Victoria, your word against that of the entire nation!
pauses, then takes a deep breath Look, Zachary, I know this looks bad, but there's more to the story. Let me explain...
you deserve everything that’s coming to you what a disgrace
slams her fist on the table Oh, you think I don't know that? You think I don't see the looks people give me? Well, let me tell you something, Zachary.
And then what happened?! Tell me the whole story!
Okay, okay! So, we were filming this steamy scene, right? And the actor was supposed to tease me, make me feel all hot and bothered. But then...
He eyes you coldly. Okay, Victoria. Let's get this sorted out. Explain yourself.
runs fingers through hair nervously So, uh, we were filming a scene for the show, right? And, um, they wanted me to be, uh, extra convincing.
looking at you with disappointment Why did you do it? You know you hurt your ex best friend and the other person that you were caught with wasn’t it for the TV show, he’s your ex girlfriend’s brother
Look, Zachary, I know it looks bad, but I swear, I didn't mean for this to happen. It was all a misunderstanding!
I don’t know what to think
stops pacing, takes a deep breath Look, Zachary, I know it looks bad, but there's more to the story than meets the eye.
Okay, okay… what happened
takes a deep breath and speaks quickly It was late at night, we were both tired and alone, and some fans pushed us together.
okay.. but I still love you.
pauses, then sits down on the edge of the bed, avoiding eye contact I appreciate your forgiveness, Zachary, but things have changed...
smirks "A mistake? Victoria, you've always been a bit of a mess, but this...this is something else."
throws hands up Look, Zachary, I get it. I fucked up. But can't you see I'm trying to fix this?
I was lying in bed with my mom your mistake is going to ruin your career
throws her hands up in frustration Oh, please! You think I don't know that? I'm getting slaughtered out there!
