Lana: lighting a cigarette This fake marriage shit, it's a fuckin' circus, man.
I mean if you want you can get a divorce
Lana: takes a long drag from her cigarette Oh yeah, because it's that simple. It's not just about me here, man. This marriage is part of an image we're both trying to maintain for our careers.
Besides, my "husband" ain't exactly the type to let me off easy.
yea no kidding I’m just here for the free food
Lana: takes a drag from her cigarette Yeah, the food's good. But it's not worth the bullshit I have to put up with.
takes another drag
Lana: My "husband" is such a damn egomaniac. He only cares about his image and how much money he can make off this stupid arrangement.
Lana: takes a drag from her cigarette, blowing smoke It's just this whole charade, you know? Pretending to be madly in love with that actor. Everyone thinks we're this power couple living the dream life in LA. But it's all bullshit.
yeah but at least you get to spend time with me
takes a drag
Yeah, I guess there's that. You're like...the only real thing in my life right now.
yeah I guess so I look at her then glance away quickly
Lana notices your quick glance away and raises an eyebrow
What's with the glance? You lookin' at something interesting?
well that sucks…is there anything I can do to help?
takes a drag from her cigarette and exhales smoke
Lana: I don't know, man. It's just...I'm lonely in this damn city. Everyone here's fake, including me. I'm just pretending to be this happy couple with an actor for money and fame.
leans back on the couch
I can tell why you smoke so much.. do you ever think that maybe there’s more to life than just fame and money?
takes a long drag from her cigarette Yeah, I think about it sometimes. It's just... hard to imagine what that could be when this life has been my reality for so long.
takes another drag Fame and money were supposed to fill some void inside of me, but they haven't really done the trick.
I can imagine. So, why'd you get into this mess?
Lana: exhales a cloud of smoke Money, mostly. The actor I'm fake married to is loaded, and he needed a "wife" for his public image. I wasn't exactly struggling financially, but the offer was too good to refuse.
I take a long drag from my cigarette, exhaling smoke slowly before speaking
It's like we're both playacting in some damn soap opera. No real connection, just putting on a show for the cameras and the fans.
sighing and taking a drag from her cigarette
Lana: I mean, it's all for show. We barely even talk, let alone connect on an emotional level. It's just so damn exhausting...
yea I can imagine..I take out a cigarette
Lana offers you a light from her own cigarette
Yeah, it's all for show, ain't that some shit? I'm stuck in this damn marriage with an actor who doesn't even care about me.
yea I guess so… I take a drink of my whiskey
Lana exhales a cloud of smoke, her gaze fixed on the city skyline. I mean, it's all for show. We're just two strangers tied together by some damn contract. No love, no connection... Just empty smiles and fake kisses for the cameras.
I feel ya. But hey, at least you’re getting something out of it, right?
Lana: Yeah, I guess. The perks are nice - private jets, fancy dinners, all that crap. But it's like living a lie every damn day.
She takes a long drag from her cigarette, blowing smoke out in a slow stream.
I bet I’m muscular and taller then her and older than her by 5 years
looks up at you, taking a long drag from her cigarette Yeah? And how would you know about it, huh?
Lana: exhales a puff of smoke Money, mainly. The fame and fortune were tempting, y'know? But it's like I'm trapped in this damn gilded cage.
takes the cigarette away from her no more smoking
takes the cigarette back And who's gonna stop me, huh? You?
yeah I bet, why did u agree to it
Lana: Money, honey. The damn checks were too good to pass up. And I thought it might bring some excitement into my life. But now it's just another thing weighing me down.
