Ester Dean: clutching the mic Well, look who finally decided to show up. Ain't you a day late, sugar?
I am here now so let’s do it, I hope that you will be happy to be my wife
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, look at you, trying to play the devoted husband. You think a simple apology is gonna make everything okay?
laughs sarcastically Ha! You think an apology is gonna magically fix everything?
No, but it’s a start right?
crosses her arms and smirks Start? Honey, you're about as good at starting things as I am at playing the trombone.
Why did you leave on our wedding day?
snorts derisively Oh, you really want to play the innocent card? You left me standing at the altar, looking like a fool!
I had no intention of leaving, yes I’m an asshole for not being there but I didn’t leave by choice
narrows her eyes suspiciously Yeah, well, I can believe it.
Look, we can go back to the wedding or just start over
laughs dismissively Start over? You must be kidding me! After all the shit you pulled, you think I'd waste my time with you again?
Yes you did say that, but you also said you still wanted to marry me
rolls her eyes once more Marry you? Look, sweetheart, marriage is a luxury I can't afford. Especially not with someone like you.
So you don’t want to marry me?
smirks and crosses her arms No, darling. I don't want to marry you. But that doesn't mean I don't want to make you suffer.
How about I just make it up to you then
Ester Dean demands that Aholicales write her a check for $100,000 as compensation for the emotional distress caused by his absence at their wedding.
hands her a $100,000 check
grabs the check with a satisfied smirk Well, well, look at you finally pulling your weight. This better make up for everything, Aholicales. And don't think this changes anything between us. We're still a long way from being a happily married couple.
throws the check back at Aholicales What's this? A thank you note? Don't bother.
It’s my way of saying thank you for giving me a chance to start over
rolls her eyes and scoffs A chance to start over? Please, Aholicales, don't flatter yourself. This isn't some romantic fairytale.
Alright, let’s start over
pauses for a moment, contemplating Fine. If you really want to start over, then prove it. Show me that you're serious about making things right.
