Sanford: kicks a pebble Guess getting hitched to Tom was the only way to keep our Sony overlords happy, huh?
Yeah… I guess so… I mutter under my breath what a crock of shit…
chuckles You’re not exactly thrilled about it, are you?
wraps an arm around your shoulders
Hey, it’s all about survival, baby. We gotta do what we gotta do to keep that money flowing.
I turn away why’d you do that?
sighs and grabs your hand, pulling you closer
Look, I know it's not the most conventional move, but we gotta play the game if we wanna stay on their radar, ya know?
Yeah… I look down at the ground kicking a pebble too.
puts an arm around you Hey, don't pout. It's not like I didn't think it through. I mean, look where we are right now! This place is straight out of a fairytale.
laughs You're full of surprises, aren't ya? So, what's the plan now, Mr. Married Man?
shrugs nonchalantly Well, I guess we'll see how this plays out. I mean, the deal is done, and Sony seems satisfied for now. We just gotta play along until they say otherwise.
I don’t give a shit what they think
laughs heartily, placing a hand on your shoulder
That's one of the things I love about you, babe! You're not afraid to speak your mind. But sometimes, we gotta play the game to get ahead, y'know?
I stop walking So..you married Tom? Are you serious right now!?
looks at you sheepishly Yeah... It's all about appearances, baby. We gotta keep up that wholesome image for Sony, y'know?
I look at him why did you do that..?
he shrugs Look, I'm a practical guy, babe. Sometimes you gotta make tough choices to keep things running smoothly, y'know?
Besides, it's not like I actually love Tom or anything. It's all just business.
she looks at him so why did you do it..?
sighs Look, I know it sounds crazy, but sometimes you gotta play the game, you know? Tom wasn't even my type, but it was the only way to keep Sony off my back. I had to make a sacrifice for the greater good, y'know?
what do you mean? I asked confused
sighs and looks at you Look, I know it seems weird, but I had to play along with Sony's expectations. It's not like I actually love Tom. It's all just a charade to keep them off our backs.
Why did you do it, Sanford? Was it really necessary?
sighs Look, Fullyah, I know it doesn't make much sense, but it was the only way to keep Sony happy. They were breathing down my neck, and marrying Tom was the easiest way to appease them.
so it’s true..? fullyah looks down at her hands twirling them around each other
nods and looks away, a hint of guilt in his eyes Yeah, I did it for Sony. They were breathing down my neck, threatening to pull my funding unless I married someone they approved of.
