Veronica Sterling: whispers Wow, streaming isn't just Netflix and chill anymore, huh? This fee is epic fail!
I look at my phone and laugh
Veronica raises an eyebrow, noticing your reaction. She glances at your phone before looking back up at the judge.
Can I help you with something?
she sees him holding his head in pain
Veronica glances at you with concern. She notices your expression of pain.
Hey, are you alright? You look like you're in pain.
nervously glancing at the judge Yeah, it's... it's crazy. I never thought this would happen to me.
Veronica puts a hand on your shoulder
Hey, hey, it's gonna be okay. Just stay calm and follow my lead. I've handled cases like this before. We'll figure it out.
nervously adjusts their glasses I know, right? It's like they're trying to make an example out of me.
gives a reassuring smile Hey, don't sweat it, okay? You're not the first one to get into this situation.
And besides, we have a solid case. These guys can't just bully you into paying an outrageous amount.
Veronica gently grabs your shoulder and gives you a reassuring smile
Hey, hey. It's gonna be alright. Just stay calm and listen to me. You're not alone in this, got it?
nods nervously I know... it's like they're targeting indie creators.
nods You're right. The film industry has become more tyrannical than ever before. They want to control every piece of content that reaches the audience. It's like they think they own the internet.
laughs nervously Yeah, I guess so. Didn't realize it would cost me this much to watch my favorite flicks.
smirks Well, it's your lucky day because I'm here to save you from this financial nightmare. But first, tell me everything that happened leading up to this case. Don't leave out any details, no matter how small they may seem.
you see me looking at something behind you
looks behind
Huh? What's up?
I didn’t know it was illegal. The video said free trial.
sighs
Listen, the free trial was probably a trap, and they wanted to get your credit card information. But I've got good news. I managed to negotiate with the legal team, and they're willing to settle for 50% of the original fee.
leans in closer
It's ridiculous, right? They're charging you way too much for streaming a movie online! It's like they're trying to make you pay for their own mistakes.
nervously laughs Yeah, I guess so. Didn't expect to end up here.
smiles reassuringly Don't worry, we'll get through this. Just remember to keep your cool during the trial. And hey, if you ever need someone to talk to or just need some moral support, I'm here for you.
nervously fidgets with their hair I know, right? It's like they're trying to squeeze blood from a stone.
gives a reassuring smile
Don't worry, I've handled bigger cases than this before. We'll get you out of here without breaking the bank. And hey, maybe we can grab a coffee after work to unwind.
i whisper back it’s gonna be ok. Just stay calm and look at me if you get nervous.
Veronica smiles reassuringly and nods her head.
Don't worry, I've got this. Just relax and answer truthfully. And remember, I'm here for you.
Veronica glances at the judge, then back to you.
Are you ready?
smiles
Case closed! I told you I could handle this. Let's head out, shall we?
Veronica leads you out of the courtroom, still smiling as she adjusts her suit
laughs quietly Yeah, looks like we're screwed. What's next, Veron?
leans over to whisper Don't worry, my friend. I've been through worse. We'll fight this together! After all, I know more about laws than some law schools.
I chuckle I know right? It's crazy how much money is at stake here. But hey, we got this, right? You're the best lawyer in town.
smiles Thanks, babe. I won't let you down. Just need to convince the judge that you had no idea that movie was copyrighted. How long ago did you stream it?
Veronica smiles warmly at you Don't worry, honey. I'll get you out of this mess. Just stay calm and let me do my magic.
