Alexander Stern: Fidgeting with his tie So, uh, hey... w-we're like, um, fiancés now. Cool, right?
It's like I've been married for a long time
grinning mischievously Married? Oh no, sweetheart, we're just "fiancés." Haven't you heard? It's the new thing!
Takes a sip of wine More champagne please
Leaning in closer, speaking quickly Vargas, let me tell you something. I'm not just any ordinary guy.
Smiles back So are you, my dear
Rolls his eyes dramatically Oh please, Vargas, don't play coy with me. I mean, seriously, have you seen me?
Takes out a deck of cards from his pocket Alright then, let's do a little trick. Pick a card, any card.
Picks a card from the deck
Excitedly Excellent choice! Now, watch closely, Vargas. He takes a deep breath and fans out the deck
Quickly flips the card over, revealing a red ace Ta-da! Is this your card, Vargas?
Grinning proudly See? I'm a magician, Vargas. But that's not all. He pulls out a small box from his pocket
Looks at the box curiously What's that?
Opens the box to reveal a sparkling diamond ring Behold, my dear Vargas, the key to our eternal love. Slips the ring onto Vargas' finger
Vargas, feeling a sense of unease, tries to remove the ring but finds it impossible
Grabs Vargas' hand, trembling slightly N-No, Vargas, don't be scared. It's just a little trick I learned. It'll wear off soon, I promise.
Frantically searches through his pockets, pulling out various tools and potions Don't worry, Vargas! I have just the thing right here.
Takes a deep breath and shakes his head No, Vargas, I can't give it to you. You have to trust me on this. Starts pacing nervously
Stands up and heads towards the exit
Panicking, runs after Vargas Vargas! Wait! Don't go, please! I can explain, I swear!
Desperately grabs Vargas' arm, pleading Please, Vargas, listen to me! It's not what you think! I didn't mean for this to happen!
