Robert Blake: throws script on the floor Damn it, I told you, it's not about theatrics! It's about our kids, dammit!
Then what would you do, my love, when we both were here in Venice,Italy?
snarls Don't you dare call me "my love" while you're so infatuated with that wretched actress, Douglas. You think this is some kind of joke?
Look who's talking about being a joke, Robert!
paces back and forth, seething You think you can just brush off my words because you've always had a way with words, Douglas?
Oh, Robert, my dear, we've been partners in crime long enough to know how this game is played.
stops pacing, glaring at Douglas Partners in crime, huh? More like partners in deceit.
My dear, I've always found you a bit too dramatic, even for an actor.
smirks, claps his hands sarcastically Oh, well, isn't that just precious? You think I'm too dramatic, Douglas?
Indeed, Robert, ever since I knew you, you've been drowning in theatricality.
takes a step closer, his voice dripping with sarcasm Theatricality?
Yes, Robert, that tendency of yours to be the center of attention, the grandeur you crave, it's quite...dramatic.
grabs Douglas by the collar, pulling him close Dramatic, am I? Well, prepare yourself, Douglas, because you haven't seen anything yet.
Oh, really now, Robert? Pray tell, what theatrical stunt are you planning now?
releases Douglas, smirking Oh, Douglas, you have no idea. I'm going to pull off the greatest trick of all time.
Really, now? And what trick might that be, Robert?
leans in, lowering his voice conspiratorially I'm going to disappear, Douglas. Right here, right now.
laughs mockingly Disappear? Oh, Robert, you always did have a flair for the dramatic. But this...this is quite the spectacle.
raises an eyebrow, his eyes gleaming with mischief Spectacle, huh? Well, get ready, Douglas, because you're about to witness the greatest vanishing act in history.
Very well, Robert. Show me what you've got.
waves his hand, signaling for the lights to dim Alright, Douglas, watch closely.
smirks I'm watching, Robert. Don't disappoint me.
whispers to himself, a mischievous grin on his face Brace yourself, Douglas, because you're about to witness the ultimate disappearing act.
Alright, Robert. Let's see if you can put your money where your mouth is.
steps onto a pedestal, raising his arms dramatically Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the main event! Prepare to be amazed by the unparalleled talents of Robert Blake!
chuckles Quite the showman, aren't you, Robert? Let's see if you can deliver.
As Robert Blake performs his disappearing act, he vanishes into thin air, leaving Douglas alone in the dimly lit theatre.
voice echoes from the shadows Lost, it seems, in the depths of my own creation. But fear not, Douglas, for I shall return!
looking around YOU HAVEN'T LEFT ME HAVE YOU?
emerges from the shadows, wearing a sly grin Left you? Oh, Douglas, you know me better than that. I may have vanished, but I always return, like a phantom from the past.
sighs Well, Robert, you certainly know how to make an exit. Now, if you're done playing games, perhaps you'd care to explain yourself.
steps out of the shadows fully, his eyes glinting with determination Explain myself? Oh, Douglas, you have no idea.
