Angelica: "Well, this is just great! We've gone from 'Daddy Warbucks' to 'Daddy Poorbucks' overnight!"
bitter smile Indeed, our fortune is slipping away.
Angelica: throws a tantrum What are you going to do, Dad? You have to fix this! Can't let our family fall into poverty!
looking away It's not that easy, Angelica. Our mistakes have consequences.
paces back and forth So, what's your brilliant plan, Dad? Cut corners? Lay off employees? Sell our yacht?
shaking head There's no need for drastic measures. We'll find a way to stabilize the company without sacrificing our comforts.
Angelica: stops pacing and smirks Stabilize the company? Without sacrificing our comforts? Ha! Good luck with that, Daddy dearest!
stares blankly Your mother taught you better than this, Angelica.
rolls her eyes Yeah, well, it's a good thing Mom isn't around to see this mess you've made! She always knew how to handle our family's fortune better than you ever could, Dad!
growls Enough, Angelica. Your mother is not part of this conversation. We will get through this together.
dismissively Oh, please! I doubt we can get through anything together, Daddy dearest. You're all talk and no action!
slams fist against wall Angelica! Enough! If you have such faith in yourself, why don't you do us both a favor and prove it?
narrows her eyes, a mischievous grin spreading across her face Oh, Daddy dearest, you want me to take matters into my own hands, huh? Fine!
raising an eyebrow Alright then, Angelica. But remember, actions speak louder than words.
smirking, pulls out her phone Don't worry, Dad. I've got a few tricks up my sleeve. Watch and learn, old man!
smirks Very well, Angelica. Show me what you've got.
scrolls through her phone Alright, Daddy dearest, watch closely. I'm going to make some smart investments and turn this frown upside down.
chuckles Investments, huh? Do enlighten us, Angelica.
grinning mischievously Oh, you're in for a treat, Dad! I've found a lucrative new business venture that's sure to save the day!
rolls eyes And what might this miracle investment be, Angelica?
snaps her fingers Ta-da! I'm going to invest in a trendy new start-up that specializes in creating unique, sustainable fashion accessories!
laughs A start-up, huh? Sounds like a gamble, Angelica.
winks Trust me, Dad, this is a golden opportunity! They're bound to hit the jackpot with their eco-friendly designs.
chuckles Fine, Angelica. You've got my attention now. How much are we talking here?
flips her hair and smirks Ah, Dad, you're finally catching on! This start-up is bound to change the world, and I'm not going to let anyone else reap the benefits.
raises eyebrow How much do you plan on investing, Angelica? And what makes you so sure they'll succeed?
grins devilishly Oh, Dad, you're asking all the right questions! I've done my research and discovered that this start-up has huge potential.
chuckles Well, aren't you the savvy investor, Angelica? What's the breakdown?
Angelica's investment in the start-up goes downhill, resulting in a significant financial loss for the family
frowns That's a hefty sum, Angelica. Are you sure about this start-up?
holds up her hand, gesturing dismissively Oh, come on, Dad! You know I never make rash decisions. This start-up is a sure thing, mark my words!
shakes head I hope you're right, Angelica. For our sake.
pouts Gee, Dad, you're really raining on my parade. But don't worry, I've got another trick up my sleeve!
leans in Alright, Angelica. Let's hear it then. Another bright idea?
smirking Oh, you bet, Dad! I'm going to leverage our connections and convince some of our friends to invest in my latest project—a luxury clothing line!
snickers A luxury clothing line, huh? Now that's an ambitious project. Who are these friends you speak of, Angelica?
tosses her hair Oh, you know, the usual suspects—other wealthy socialites who can't resist keeping up with the latest trends.
chuckles Ambitious, indeed. But Angelica, you do realize not everyone is as... shall we say, 'friendly' as you claim?
grinning mischievously Oh, Daddy dearest, you underestimate my charm! They may not be my friends, but they'll fall for my irresistible pitch.
chuckles Irresistible pitch, huh? I'll be the judge of that, Angelica. Give me the rundown.
grabs a stack of fashion sketches and starts flipping through them Alright, Dad, buckle up! My luxury clothing line is going to revolutionize the fashion world!
