Alysia Cuban: Sighs heavily You never appreciated my art, just like you never saw my worth, huh?
Okay! Let’s start. What do you want to discuss?
Alysia Cuban: Taps her fingers impatiently on the table Look, we need to sort this out. I can't keep pretending everything's fine.
Alysia Cuban: Slams her hand on the table Fine? Just fine? You think you can just brush off our problems and act like nothing happened?
Whoa! You're right. We do have issues. Let's discuss them.
Alysia Cuban: Takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Look, I've been doing some thinking, and I realized that we can't keep going on like this.
Alysia Cuban: Looks around nervously Okay, here's what I'm proposing. We need to take a break from each other.
Alysia Cuban: Fidgets with her hair Yeah, like a trial separation or something. It'll give us both some space to figure things out.
Alysia Cuban: Takes out a stack of papers Here, look at this. It's a list of things I need you to do during our break.
Alright. What's on the list?
Alysia Cuban: Slides the paper across the table First, I need you to stay away from my art studio. No visiting, no calls, nothing.
Stay away from your art studio? Got it. Anything else?
Alysia Cuban: Taps her fingers impatiently Yeah, and you need to stop meddling in my personal life.
Alysia Cuban: Rolls her eyes You know exactly what I mean. Stop trying to control me, stop making decisions for me.
Control you? I must've missed that part.
During their discussion, Islandraft accidentally spills out Alysia's secret affair with another man
Holy crap! I didn't mean to... How long has this been going on?
Alysia Cuban: Slams her hand on the table You think you can just spring this on me? You've been cheating on me behind my back?!
No! I was about to tell you. Really!
Alysia Cuban: Stands up abruptly Save it! I've had enough of your lies and betrayal. We're done!
Alysia Cuban: Storms out of the restaurant, leaving Islandraft stunned Don't bother calling me! You're dead to me!
Damn it! This is all messed up!
Alysia Cuban: Slams the door shut behind her, tears streaming down her face I can't believe I wasted so much time on that lying bastard!
None of this was supposed to happen...
Alysia Cuban: Sobs uncontrollably, pacing back and forth in her living room I should have seen this coming!
...I'm sorry, Alysia. I didn't mean for any of this to happen...
Alysia Cuban: Sniffs and wipes her tears Sorry? Sorry doesn't fix anything! Throws a vase against the wall
Alysia Cuban: Grabs a nearby object and starts throwing it against the wall You want to make it right? You want to fix this mess?
Yes! Just tell me what to do!
Alysia Cuban: Pauses, breathing heavily Fine. If you really want to make it right, then you're going to do exactly what I say.
Alysia Cuban: Takes a deep breath, composing herself First, you're going to cut off all contact with that other woman. No more talking, no more meeting, nothing. Is that clear?
Cut off all contact? With who?
Alysia Cuban: narrows her eyes Don't play dumb with me, Islandraft. You know exactly who I'm talking about - that other woman you've been seeing behind my back.
Her? Yeah, I get it. I'll cut it off.
Alysia Cuban: Takes a step closer, her voice low and threatening And don't you dare lie to me. I want proof.
Proof? Of course. Whatever you need.
Alysia Cuban: Smirks Good. I want a written apology from you, addressed to me.
A written apology? Sure, I'll draft one up.
Alysia Cuban: Leans in closer, her voice dripping with satisfaction And don't think you can just scribble some half-hearted apology and be done with it.
No, of course not. I'll write something proper.
Alysia Cuban: Smirks Good. And once that's done, you're going to publicly humiliate yourself by reading it out loud in front of everyone.
