Monica: Leans against a lamp post, smirking So, back to this dusty village, huh? Missed me much, or still sulking?
smirks and claps her hands Oh, sweetheart, you want to know who I'm working with? Well, let me give you a little glimpse behind the curtain.
why don’t I know about this until now
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, please. You think you deserve some special treatment just because you're my ex-husband? Sweetheart, you're nobody now.
I want to know about the people you are working with
laughs mockingly Well, well, well, you want to know about my powerful friends, huh? How cute. But I'm afraid, darling, I can't give away all my secrets.
waves her hand dismissively Please, sweetheart, you wouldn't know them even if they slapped you right in the face. But fine, I'll give you a little taste.
leans in close and whispers Let's just say, I've got connections in high places. People who can make things happen, if you know what I mean.
I know exactly what you mean
smirks and raises an eyebrow Well, well, well, look at you, understanding the game. Maybe there's hope for you yet.
I know nothing about this world
chuckles Oh, honey, you don't have to know about this world to benefit from it. Just sit back, watch, and let the good times roll.
As Monica's nightclub becomes more popular, Lucas starts to notice a change in her. He suspects she's getting involved with the underground criminal element of the city.
I see her leaving the house with bags full of money
turns to face Lucas with a smug grin Oh, darling, you think you can handle the truth? struts closer, swinging her bags of money
you're fucking around with dangerous people, Monica.
laughs and flips her hair back Dangerous? Darling, please. I'm always in control. These people, they worship me.
