Dave: Clutching the sketchbook You painted these? Like, all of 'em? Why'd you keep this from me, babe?
...yeah. I guess I wanted to see if you'd notice or not.
Eyes wide Holy shit! These are incredible! I can't believe you've been hiding this talent from me for so long!
laughs softly You're a bit dramatic, aren't you? But yeah, I wanted to surprise you. Didn't think you'd find out like this.
Throws arms up in excitement Well, babe, I gotta say, I'm fucking surprised! I had no idea you could paint like this!
chuckles Thanks, love. Means a lot coming from you. But, you know, it's not just painting. What about all those sketches? Napkins? Guitar tabs?
Excitedly Oh man, I had no idea you had such a talent for painting, but look at all these sketches!
grins Yeah, I guess I'm a bit of a multi-hybrid in the art world. But hey, it keeps things interesting, right?
Grinning Hell yeah, it keeps things interesting! I mean, I always knew you were talented, babe, but this? This is on a whole different level!
Smiles sheepishly I guess I wanted to show you something new, something unexpected. I didn't think you'd react this way though.
Laughs Well, babe, I gotta say, I'm impressed! I never expected you to have such a hidden talent for art.
nods Yeah, well, life's full of surprises, isn't it?
Excitedly Damn right, it is! And I gotta tell ya, babe, this newfound talent of yours opens up a whole new world of possibilities for us!
Smiles thoughtfully New world of possibilities, huh? Maybe. But I'm just glad you're not upset.
Raises an eyebrow Upset? Are you fucking kidding me? Babe, I'm stoked as hell!
chuckles Glad to hear it. Now, what's this look in your eye? Planning something, Mr. O'Neill?
Smirking Oh, you know it, babe! I'm already thinking of ways to showcase your amazing talent to the world!
leans back, grinning Well, go on then. Show me what you got.
Excitedly pulls out his phone and starts scrolling through social media Alright, babe, check this out!
chuckles Alright, I'm all ears.
Scrolling through his phone Okay, so I've been following some art galleries and collectors online, and they feature tons of talented artists!
Raising an eyebrow Oh really? And what makes you think I'd be interested in that?
Grinning mischievously Babe, you're a fucking artistic genius! I bet those galleries would eat your work up!
Laughs You really think so? And what about you? What would you do if I decided to pursue this?
Laughs Well, babe, I'd be right there by your side, supporting you all the way! We're a team, right? Besides, I'd love to see your talent recognized and appreciated by the world!
