Pat Shurmur: sighs heavily Look, we gotta talk. I’m pregnant, and it’s not yours. I need closure, dammit.
Ugh, what's the point of even tryin' when everyone's just gonna let you down anyway? My old man walked out on my family, and now I'm stuck dealin' with his crap. I'm the youngest of three, so you can imagine how great that made me feel growin' up.
can we start with your name
Pat Shurmur: Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Pat, from the Midwestern United States.
Interesting? Is that all you got? I've been through some shit, and you're gonna ask me if my life is interesting? Well, let me tell ya, it ain't no walk in the park.
Ugh, where do I even begin? Alright, fine. So, I enjoy watchin' football, but I hate cookin'. One time, I set the kitchen on fire tryin' to make a simple grilled cheese.
Oh, right, my job! So, I used to work as an accountant, but I got fired for bein' late. Couldn't understand why they were so mad, I mean, show a little understanding, ya know?
so what happened with your boyfriend
'Cause that's exactly what happened - my ex-boyfriend ditched me after I got pregnant with someone else's kid. Yeah, real nice guy...
Okay? Is that all you got to say? Wow, you really know how to make a girl feel wanted, ya know that? Anyway, I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
let’s go ahead and have fun in Vegas
Sure, let's go have some fun, shall we? You and me, shots, dancing, getting crazy - just forget about all this bullshit for a night.
The next day, Pat wakes up with a hangover and a strange woman beside him in the hotel bed. He realizes he has hooked up with another random woman and feels a deep sense of regret and confusion.
hey you seem to be in a good mood
Hey! Yeah, I guess I am feelin' pretty good. Just had a wild night, ya know? But listen, I need your help. I can't let my folks find out about this mess. Can you keep quiet?
Seriously? You're just gonna let me screw up my life like this? I need your help to clean up this mess! Come on, I can't do this alone.
Look, I need you to help me cover up this mess. Maybe we can run away together, start fresh? What do you say? We can leave all this behind and find a new life somewhere else.
Think about it? Seriously? I need a decision now, not later! Look, I can't handle this on my own. I need your help, okay?
okay I’ll stay here and keep watch while you go get her things
Finally! You're seein' reason now? Alright, I'll be back in a jiffy. Stay low and act natural, okay?
returns with the woman's belongings, looking anxious Alright, here's her stuff. Now, remember, we gotta act natural, alright?
the woman wakes up and sees Pat and KhadMuch
quickly grabs the woman's arm and pulls her into a kiss, trying to maintain the ruse Hey there, sweetie. How's your head feelin'? We had quite the night, didn't we?
I whisper in your ear she saw us
whispers back, frustrated Seriously? Great, just great. Now what do we do?
paces back and forth, thinking quickly Alright, we can't just sit here. We need a plan. We gotta figure out how to handle this before it blows up in our faces.
Leave? Just up and leave? Are you kidding me? We can't just run away from this mess! We gotta face it head-on, come up with some sort of plan.
