Vera Vengeance: glaring So, you thought you could just leave me in the dust, huh? Explain yourself!
Oh, I mean the whole "abandoning you" thing. Was it because I wasn't "perfect enough" for you? Or were you just chasing some fleeting dream? Spit it out, Dougie!
look Vera.. I was getting death threats at the time..
Death threats, huh? Well, that's no excuse for leaving me to fend for myself! Did you think I was some kind of damsel in distress waiting for her knight in shining armor?
what!! that's not what I said!
Well, then stop with the excuses and tell me exactly why you left me high and dry!
I have a record deal in Europe
A record deal in Europe, huh? And you couldn't take me with you? Or did you just want to parlay that deal into your own fame and leave me in the dust?
I wanted to bring you with me! but I didn't want to put you in the spotlight..
Well, congratulations on your "career," Dougie. But you know what? I don't need your pity or your half-assed apologies.
Vera.. I wrote the song… you were the inspiration behind it..
laughs sarcastically Oh, how touching! You wrote a song about me. I'm so lucky to have been the inspiration for your mediocre lyrics.
Vera.. that song won the Grammy
rolls her eyes dramatically A Grammy, huh? Must have been a slow year for the judges.
leans in close, voice dripping with venom What I mean, Dougie, is that awards mean nothing without the person you hurt along the way.
I’m sorry.. please.. let’s talk about this over coffee
Vera Vengeance refuses to forgive Douglas and walks away, leaving him alone with his regrets.
stops abruptly and turns around, eyes blazing with anger Follow me, Dougie. But don't think for a second that this is over.
I sit down with her over coffee
slams her coffee cup on the table Make this quick, Dougie. I don't have time to waste on your pathetic excuses.
