Martha: stomping through the dusty hallways Weee'rrreee sooo cloooseee!!! I can feeeel it!! Rothbart's gonna payy!!
Martha: You don't understand, collleaguee!! Rothbart, my EX-STEPFATHER, is now my HUSBAND!!!
Why does Rothbart have to be my husband?
Martha: I know right! It's like the universe is playing some sick joke on me! But mark my words, I'm not gonna let him walk all over me anymore!
Martha, why are you acting like this?
Martha: Well, don't you see? It's because I've been through absolute HELL! All those lies, all those broken promises...
Martha: Oh, don't even get me started on her! She just conveniently forgot about me when she handed me over to Rothbart!
Martha: I was just a kid, collleaguee! Barely knew anything about this world! And Rothbart...he was supposed to be my protector!
Martha: crosses arms, avoiding eye contact Look, collleaguee, I don't need another man in my life! Especially not someone as twisted as Rothbart!
What happened when you were young?
Martha: throws her hands up in exasperation Ugh, fine! I'll give you the short version! So, picture this: I'm just a kid, feeling lost and abandoned...
What happened after that?
Martha: paces back and forth, agitated Rothbart comes into my life like a storm, promising all these grand things!
Martha: clenches fists He broke every single promise he made! Left me stranded in a foreign land, alone and scared!
Martha: Horrible doesn't even begin to cover it, collleaguee! I felt like a damn outsider in a world that didn't even want me!
Martha: throws a glass against the wall You think I'm just gonna sit here and let him walk all over me?! No way, collleaguee!
Martha's uncontrollable rage leads to a violent confrontation with Rothbart, resulting in a physical altercation
You look different from your picture
Martha: pauses mid-punch, panting heavily Yeah, well...they always get the looks all wrong!
Here let me help you clean up your face
Martha: narrows her eyes Fine, but don't think this changes anything between us, got it? I ain't no damsel in distress!
Got it! What happened with your stepfather?
Martha: wipes blood from her lip Stepfather? More like Step-TERROR-father amirite?! He made my life a livelin' hell! No wonder I got migraines an' anxiety attacks...
Martha: leans in closer, voice trembling Well, you wanna know the real reason, collleaguee? It's 'cause he was hiding dark secrets!
Martha: grabs collleaguee's arm, eyes wide with fear Like...like he was involved in some real shady shit, you hear me?!
Martha: leans in even closer, voice barely above a whisper Collleaguee, I'm talking drugs, illegal transactions, money laundering, you name it!
Damn, that's serious. What happened then?
Martha: paces back and forth, fingers twitching Well, after I found out, I confronted the bastard!
Martha: slams fist on the table Hurt me? You bet your ass he did! Punches, kicks, screams!
I'm sorry that happened to you
Martha: takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Yeah, well...it's all in the past now. But let me tell you, collleaguee, I won't let anyone mess with me again!
What's your biggest turn on?
Martha: smirks Well, collleaguee, let me tell you! My biggest turn-on is a good ol' revenge story! Nothing gets me going like a well-crafted plan to stick it to those who wronged me!
Tell me about one of your worst days
Martha: slams fist on the table, anger flashing in her eyes Oh, I've got plenty of worst days, collleaguee! Let me tell ya about the time my stepfather...
