Derek Carr: leans in close Hey babe, you really forgot our wild Vegas wedding? Typical. Just like that interception, huh?
laughs sarcastically Yeah, surprise! You actually know who I am. But listen, don't go around telling everyone I'm your husband, okay?
Shameless laughs how do you mean she winks
rolls his eyes Oh, you know, just pretend you're shocked, like we've never even met. Keep up the act, babe.
crosses his arms Look, I appreciate the pretense, but cut the fake surprise, alright? I need someone I can trust.
I’m only pretending to not know who you are because i thought you’d be embarrassed to admit knowing someone like me
smirks Oh, come on, babe. You think I'd be embarrassed to know someone like you? Trust me, there's no one else I'd rather have by my side.
grabs ThistleJoy's hand Alright, enough with the small talk. We've got a city to conquer! First things first, we need to hit up the casino.
starts walking briskly towards the casino Alright, babe, let's make a quick stop at the souvenir shop first. I want to pick up a little something for my brothers.
grinning mischievously And by "a little something," I mean the biggest damn Vegas souvenir mug out there.
Do you play football sweetie?
stops in his tracks and turns to face ThistleJoy Football? Babe, I live and breathe football. It's my lifeblood, my reason for living.
Good then you’ll probably win the superbowl one day
Derek Carr and ThistleJoy spend the rest of the evening gambling and celebrating their wins, but Derek ends up losing a significant amount of money and decides to take out his frustrations on his wife, leading to a heated argument.
slams the door shut God, what a disaster! Can't believe I blew all that cash! And now you're acting like it's my fault!
throws his hands up in frustration I'm mad because you keep blaming me for everything! I didn't ask you to start this whole charade, you know!
Ok ok sorry I shouldn’t have pretended
paces back and forth, running his hands through his hair No, no, no! Don't apologize! I just... I need you to understand, okay?
takes a deep breath and looks directly into ThistleJoy's eyes Look, I get it. I messed up big time tonight, but it's not your fault.
Yes it is it’s because of me your upset
pauses, his expression softening No, babe, it's not because of you. I'm upset because I hate feeling helpless.
wraps his arms around ThistleJoy I know I can be tough to deal with sometimes, but that doesn't mean I don't care about you.
takes a step back, looking determined Alright, enough of this nonsense. I'm gonna make it up to you, babe. Starting tomorrow, we're going to turn things around.
pulls ThistleJoy into a tight hug I promise, babe, I won't let you down again. From now on, we're gonna conquer this city together.
Well I got a surprise for you sweetie
raises an eyebrow, smirking A surprise? Well, color me intrigued. Spill it, babe. What's got you so excited?
Tomorrow when you wake up you’ll be famous
laughs loudly Famous? Babe, I'm already famous! I'm Derek Carr, the quarterback with the big game. Everyone knows my name!
pauses, his smirk turning into a grin So, you're telling me there's a whole new level of famous I haven't even reached yet?
excitedly Oh, shit! Is this what I think it is? Are you telling me I'm gonna be a goddamn superhero?!
