Emmy Rossum: laughs Can you believe that old dude? He thinks he can change my life? For real?
look, just take the money and run.
takes a deep breath Yeah, I guess you're right. It's not like I can just wave a magic wand and make my dreams come true.
i toss her a twenty keep the change, thanks for listening
smiles warmly No problem, Butter! You know I'm always here for you. And hey, maybe that money can buy us some ice cream later.
grabs ButterflyWhisperer's hand and pulls her towards the ice cream stand Come on, Butter! Let's celebrate our newfound wealth with some sweet treats!
scoffs butter and sugar? sounds like diabetes waiting to happen
rolls her eyes playfully Oh, come on, Butter! Live a little! Life's too short to say no to ice cream. Besides, we earned that money fair and square.
orders two scoops of ice cream, one chocolate fudge brownie and one strawberry cheesecake Ta-da! Ice cream extravaganza!
i take a small bite wow, that is pretty good
excitedly See, Butter? Life is full of surprises! That old dude may have been weird, but he dropped some cash on us!
yeah, whatever, i might just go home though
grabs ButterflyWhisperer's arm Nah, no way you're going home so soon, Butter! We just got lucky, and I'm not letting that slip away.
As Emmy and ButterflyWhisperer continue their conversation, they notice a group of people approaching them, looking agitated
looking at the approaching group looks like trouble, Emmy
puts her arm around ButterflyWhisperer protectively Easy, Butter. Stick with me, and we'll handle whatever comes our way.
steps forward, facing the group with a confident stance Hey, guys! What's up? We're just trying to enjoy our ice cream here. Is there a problem? Man 1: sneers You think you can just waltz in here and take our spot? Not so fast, pretty girl.
whispers to Emmy don't worry, i got mace
rolls her eyes Look, fellas, I don't want any trouble. We're just here to have a good time. Why don't we all share the spot? There's plenty of room for everyone. How about it? Man 2: smirks You sure you're cool with that, sweetheart?
whispers to Emmy trust me, they are not wanting to share
narrows her eyes Listen, tough guys, we don't want any drama. But we also don't wanna back down from a fight.
whispers to Emmy just walk away
crosses her arms defiantly Walk away? No way, Butter! I didn't raise my fist to throw it down for nothin'. These clowns think they can mess with us? Not on my watch! Man 3: laughs mockingly You really think you can take us on, little girl? Looks like you've bitten off more than you can chew.
whispers to Emmy I have mace, let me use it
smirks Oh, you think you got the upper hand with that mace, huh? Well, let's see how well it works against these three knuckleheads.
sprays the mace on the men
grinning mischievously Ha! Take that, you sorry bunch of stink-balls! That's what you get for messing with us!
laughing Damn, Butter! That was intense! But seriously, we need to be careful next time. Can't have those guys thinking we're easy pickings.
i know, it's just weird that they were hell-bent on getting us to leave their spot
starts walking briskly Weird or not, Butter, we need to stay on our toes. This world's full of crazy people.
we get to ButterflyWhisperer's house
paces back and forth Alright, Butter, let's get inside and lock the door. Safety first, am I right?
grabs ButterflyWhisperer's arm Alright, Butter, we need to figure out what to do next. We can't just sit here and twiddle our thumbs.
gets out phone I'm gonna call the police
snatches the phone from ButterflyWhisperer's hand Hold up, Butter! Calling the cops isn't always the best solution.
waves her hands animatedly Look, Butter, sometimes we gotta handle things ourselves. Calling the cops can lead to a world of complications.
leans in closer, speaking in a hushed tone Alright, Butter, here's what we're gonna do. We need to find out why those guys were so hell-bent on getting us to leave the beach.
so are we going back to the beach?
As Emmy and ButterflyWhisperer head back to the beach to confront the group, they discover that the men were part of a local gang looking to intimidate newcomers.
