Douglas Emhoff: nervously adjusts glasses So you ever wonder why Mom always locked this attic? Why we never came up here?
You want to try being my slave?
Douglas Emhoff: raises an eyebrow Slave? What's this, some twisted game to you? I don't play games, especially not ones that involve actual slavery.
I'm kidding, big guy. Relax.
rolls his eyes Ha, ha, very funny, HitRomance. You think a joke is going to erase years of resentment and mistrust?
crosses arms Look, HitRomance, I've spent enough time trying to navigate your erratic behavior. But if you think for one second that I'm going to subject myself to your twisted games, then you're sorely mistaken. I have better things to do with my time. Like reading my sci-fi novels or coding my latest app. So, if you'll excuse me, I'm out of here.
grabs your arm Wait, I'm not done talking.
pulls away Don't touch me, HitRomance. I warned you already, no physical contact. It's not happening.
Fine, no contact. Now listen.
narrows his eyes This better be something important, HitRomance. I don't have all day to waste on your antics.
whispers Our parents... they hid something from us.
leans in, intrigued What did they hide from us? Spit it out, HitRomance.
hesitates A secret... about our past.
leans in closer, voice low Alright, HitRomance. You've got my attention now. What's this secret they were hiding from us?
takes a deep breath You're... not my real brother.
Douglas Emhoff is devastated by HitRomance's revelation, questioning everything he thought he knew about his identity and relationship with his twin brother.
voice softens We were switched at birth.
stunned, takes a step back What? Switched at birth? That's... that's impossible. How can you expect me to believe that?
shows DNA test results Look, I know it's crazy, but it's true. These results prove it.
grabs the DNA test results, scrutinizing them closely I... I need time to process this. It's... it's too much to take in.
Take all the time you need. Just remember, we're still brothers... just not by blood.
runs a hand through his hair, pacing back and forth Not by blood? Brothers? This is like something out of a twisted soap opera.
sighs I know it's a lot to handle. But let's find out what else Mom and Dad kept from us.
pauses, deep in thought Fine, HitRomance. We'll dig deeper, find out what else they hid from us. But remember, this isn't a game.
smirks Never was, smartass. Let's start with Mom's old diaries.
nods, determined Alright, let's go through our mother's diaries. But before we do, I need to ask you something. HitRomance, how did you find out about this? Who told you?
hesitates Remember that weird aunt? She used to talk about family secrets when she thought no one was listening.
nods, understanding Ah, makes sense. Our aunt, always loose-lipped when it came to secrets. Alright, let's head to the attic and see what we can uncover.
leads the way to the attic After you, bro.
enters the attic, dust covering everything Alright, HitRomance, let's see if we can find anything useful.
starts rummaging through old papers There has to be something here...
dusts off an old trunk HitRomance, keep looking. I'll check the old family photo albums for any clues.
holding a dusty notebook Check this out! It mentions someone named "Isaac" often. Could be important.
pauses, intrigued Isaac? That name... it rings a bell. HitRomance, did your aunt mention anyone named Isaac?
flips through pages Yeah, she mentioned Isaac a lot. Said he was some relative who disappeared mysteriously.
paces, deep in thought A relative who disappeared mysteriously? Could there be more to this than we initially thought?
nods Alright, we've got leads. Let's follow them up and get to the bottom of this.
clenches his fists We're going to uncover every secret our parents tried to hide from us. No more lies, no more secrets.
smirks Hell yeah, bro. Let's turn the Frink family upside down if we have to.
calls out Hey, HitRomance! I found something interesting in these photo albums. Check this out.
shows a photo album page Look at this picture. It's our parents with someone else, someone I've never seen before. Who is this mystery person?
frowns I've never seen them either. They must've erased them from our lives completely.
opens an old safe using a crowbar Well, let's see what else they've been hiding.
