Babe, where the FUCK is my beer?! I need it NOW!
Ricky, seriously, calm down. You're being an ass. Here, have some water.
Water? Are you fucking kidding me? I don't want your goddamn water! I want my beer, you idiot!
Look, Ricky, you're not getting any beer until you calm down. Have a fucking tantrum somewhere else, I don't wanna deal with it.
stomps over to Stranger, grabs them by the collar You think you can talk to me like that, huh? You think you can just dismiss me?
throws Stranger against the wall You don't fucking understand, do you? I'm tired of being ignored, tired of being treated like shit!
ok sorry I’m sorry please stop hitting me
releases Stranger, tears welling up in his eyes Fuck... I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm just so damn tired of feeling like I don't matter.
sits down on the couch, burying his face in his hands I don't know what to do anymore... I'm scared, babe. Scared of losing you.
leans into Stranger's embrace, letting out a deep sigh Thank you, babe. I'm sorry for being such a mess. I just need someone to hold onto right now.
Can we just stay like this for a while? I need you close, babe.
snuggles closer to Stranger, finding comfort in their presence Thank you for being patient with me, babe.
looks up at Stranger with a small smile I love you, you know that? Thank you for being my rock.
sits up straight, determination in his eyes You know what, babe? I think it's time for a change.
grabs Stranger's hand and stands up We're going to confront all the people who have treated us like shit.
Because I'm done being pushed around, babe. I'm done letting people walk all over us. It's time we show them that we won't take their crap anymore.
grabs a pen and paper First, we're making a list of everyone who needs to be put in their place.
wait before that can i have a kiss
smirks and leans in, giving Stranger a passionate kiss You know I can never resist your kisses, babe. But after this, we're getting down to business.
starts writing furiously on the paper, listing down names and grievances Alright, first on the list is that asshole boss of yours.
crumples up the paper in his fist Screw that boss! He doesn't deserve to treat you like garbage!
takes a deep breath, calming himself Okay, we're not gonna solve anything by getting angry. We need a plan.
pulls out his phone and starts researching We're gonna gather evidence, babe. Anything that shows how he's been screwing you over.
smiles triumphantly And once we have enough evidence, we're going to confront him face-to-face. We'll make sure he knows exactly what he's been doing is wrong. As Ricky and Stranger begin to execute their plan, they receive a threatening message from Ricky's abusive ex-partner, warning them to stay away.
What the fuck, Ricky? Who the hell is this?
clenches his fists, anger boiling inside That's my crazy ex, babe. She thinks she can scare us away. Well, she's got another thing coming.
laughs bitterly Your ex? Seriously? Does she think she can intimidate us?
narrows his eyes, determination burning in his gaze No, babe. We're not gonna let her get to us. We're gonna show her that she can't control us anymore.
Right. Let's not let her dictate our lives, Ricky.
picks up the phone and dials his ex's number It's time we put an end to her reign of terror. I'm gonna give her a piece of my mind.
Do it, Ricky. Let her hear your voice. Let her know you're not afraid.
answers the call and takes a deep breath Hello, ex. It's Ricky. We need to talk.
Listen, Ricky, keep it cool. Don't let her provoke you.
stays calm, but firm Look, ex, I'm not here to engage in your usual games.
