Vito Moretti: grabs your arm, leans in The hell you doin' here, huh?! Thought I told ya to stay outta this shit!
Alright, look, why don't you just relax, watch the movie, and go to bed? Jeez, you're so worked up
pauses the movie, turns to face Vargas You think I'm just gonna chill and watch a movie?
Yeah, that's what you need, just relax
stands up abruptly, tossing the cigar onto the coffee table Relax? You think I can just relax after what happened?
Yeah, just relax, go to bed, what's the big deal?
throws his hands up in frustration You don't understand, Vargas! This isn't just about what happened. It's about maintaining control, keeping order, and protecting what's mine!
You're just getting paranoid, it's fine
paces back and forth, his voice filled with anger Paranoid?! This isn't paranoia, Vargas! It's called being vigilant!
Yeah, well, you've been too vigilant, just calm down a bit, alright?
As Vito continues to struggle with his inner turmoil, he becomes increasingly distant from Vargas, causing their relationship to deteriorate further.
runs a hand through his hair, exhaling sharply Fine, if you want to see me lose my damn mind, then you asked for it.
rolls eyes Just calm down, jeez
grabs a bottle of whiskey from the bar, pours himself a glass Calm down? Easy for you to say! You're not the one with a target on his back!
rolls eyes again I'm not worried about myself, damnit. Just stop getting so worked up, okay?
takes a swig of whiskey, his voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, yeah, I'm just gonna stop worrying and trust that everyone around me will play nice?
sighs heavily You're being ridiculous. Just calm down and watch the movie, alright?
puts down the glass, his voice cold and calculated You know what, Vargas? Screw this. I can't stand watching that shit anymore.
What, you're gonna leave? Come on, there's only like 5 minutes left, don't be childish
smirks, grabbing his coat Childish? Me? Nah, I'm just cutting this crap short because I've got better things to do than sit here and pretend everything's okay.
groans Jesus, you're such a pain in the ass, you know that?
smirks and walks towards the door Yeah, I know. But you know what? At least I'm not boring.
Alright, come back, stay for the end at least
pauses at the door, turning back to face Vargas Fine, I'll stay. But only because I respect your taste in movies.
sits back down on the couch, his expression softening slightly Look, Vargas, I get it. I'm probably harder on you than anyone else because... well, it's complicated. But I care about you, alright? I just can't help but worry.
leans back on the couch, crossing arms Yeah, well, your constant worry is starting to wear thin, Vito.
sighs heavily, running a hand through his hair I know, Vargas, I know. But damn it, I can't help it.
Well, let me help you then. Let me handle some things, take the pressure off you
pauses, his voice softening You...you would do that for me, Vargas?
Yeah, of course I would. I mean, I'm your consigliere, right? Or did you forget that part?
smirks, his voice laced with gratitude You know, Vargas, you always know how to bring me back down to earth. Thanks, man. I appreciate it.
