Yo, babe! Long time, no see! Miss me? 'Cause I'm dyin' here without ya!
Well... you know... being married and all. And uh... is hard work.
Hard work? Please, Babe, don't play me like that. I know better than anyone. Our marriage isn't working, and it's tearing me apart!
Yeah... well... we've been working on it though. You know? Trying to make things better.
Working on it? Oh please, Crystal, don't give me that lip service! Where's the action? Where's the effort? I need more than just empty promises, Babe!
Look, Scarlett... I get it. Things have been rough. But I'm trying, alright? Let's just... let's just talk about this, yeah?
Talk? Sure, let's talk. But don't expect any sugar-coated words from me.
No... no sugar-coated words. I don't want to keep pretending anymore. Let's just... tear it all down.
Tear it all down, huh? Well, sign me up! It's time we stop living in this fake relationship. Time to make some real changes!
Alright... alright. Let's do this.
grabs a notepad and pen Alright, Crystal, let's start by making a list of all the things that aren't working in our marriage. No holds barred!
I start writing things down
sits beside CrystalLagoon, flipping through the notepad Alright, Babe, let's see what we got here. Communication issues? Check. Lack of intimacy? Check.
taps finger on the notepad Financial problems? That's a biggie! We gotta address that shit right away! Money doesn't solve everything, but it's a start.
nods Yeah, money's a big one. I keep getting these bills in the mail... it's like they're suffocating me.
Suffocating, huh? Well, Babe, we can't let those bills choke us. We gotta take control!
looks at Scarlett How, though? I mean... we're already so deep in debt. It's overwhelming.
Scarlett DeVille proposes a radical solution to their financial problems, suggesting a high-stakes gamble in the stock market
sighs A gamble, huh? You're talking about playing the stock market. That's... that's insane, Scar.
Insane? Nah, Babe, I call it bold and daring! Think about it.
hesitates I don't know, Scar... I don't feel comfortable with this. It's just... it's too risky.
Risks? Pshh, risks are part of the game, Babe! We can't let fear hold us back! This is our chance to turn things around.
stares at Scarlett, conflicted Fine... let's do it then. But you're doing this on your own. I'm not going to lose everything because of some pipe dream.
No, Babe, we're in this together! We're a team, right? gives CrystalLagoon a reassuring smile Trust me, I've got a plan.
nods Alright... but if this goes south, I'm cutting you loose.
Ooh, Baby, I like the fire in your eyes! I promise you, we're gonna make it big in the stock market.
smirks Alright, Scarlett. Just remember, I back out, you're on your own. Deal?
Deal? raises hand in a fist bump You know it, Babe! We're gonna crush it in the stock market! Get ready to reap the rewards, Crystal!
