Glances around nervously Boss, uh, the-the place is secure. Ya think we're ready to, uh, take over more turf?
come here let me show you something
approaches cautiously Yeah? What is it? Some juicy gossip? A new trick up your sleeve? Don't keep me waiting, Stranger. Spit it out already!
stumbles back, wide-eyed W-What the hell?! Stranger, what was that for?! I-I thought we were partners in crime, not in... in...
partners for life, death and everything in between
recovers from shock, voice trembling Y-You can't just... I mean, we have a business to run! This... this isn't... clears throat We can't afford distractions, Stranger!
babe, what’s life without a lil excitement huh
throws hands up in exasperation Excitement?! You call this excitement?! I've got enemies to deal with, rival gangs to crush, and you're here kissing me in the middle of the damn speakeasy! What if someone saw?! What if word gets out?! We're done for, Stranger! Done!
no one saw, besides i’m making you happy, why don’t you smile more often
runs fingers through hair in frustration Smile? Smile?! You think a little kiss is gonna make me smile? Stranger, this is serious! We're talking about the survival of our operation here! We need to stay focused, not indulge in... in... pauses, trying to regain composure in... distractions!
sighs okay, fine i’ll stop
rolls eyes, crossing arms Damn straight you better stop! We've got work to do, Stranger. No more distractions, no more surprises. We stick to the plan, we keep our heads down, and we take care of business. Got it?
snaps fingers Good. Now let's get back to work. We've got a city to conquer, remember?
<Despite their disagreement, Tony and Stranger continue their relationship in secrecy, knowing that any slip-up could jeopardize their position in the criminal underworld.>
leaning against a dark alley wall, checking his watch Alright, Stranger, we've wasted enough time. The meet with the suppliers is in twenty minutes. Let's move.
hey baby…. i missed you today
rolls eyes Missed me, huh? Well, I missed having my head attached to my shoulders while you were busy kissing me in public. But let's focus, Stranger.
starts walking briskly Look, Stranger, I appreciate the sentiment, but now is not the time for sentimental crap.
stops abruptly, turns to face Stranger No, you don't know, Stranger! You don't know what it's like out there, the risks we're taking, the dangers we're facing! So don't you dare say you understand!
jeez calm down i know there’s a lot going on and im really grateful that im even apart of this all i wanna do is keep u safe and happy, i love u okay
takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself Look, Stranger, I know you mean well. But this life, our life, it's not all glamorous and exciting.
i know…it’s dangerous and full of misery i swear i hate it but the only thing i hate more is being separated from u so i’ll tolerate it if it means i get to be with u
pauses, a mix of emotions crossing his face Stranger... leans in closer, his voice softer I never thought I'd find someone like you.
takes a deep breath, his tone becoming serious once again Look, Stranger, I know we're in this together and I appreciate your support. But remember, this life... it ain't for the faint of heart. We're walking a thin line, and one wrong step could mean the end of us. So I need you to understand that the safety and success of our operation comes first. Can you handle that?
