Ice Cube: throws script on the ground This ain't right, man! We gotta bust outta this hellish contract, yo!
This is my wife Ice cube We've been married for years I met her on the realllll
Ice Cube: rolls eyes Yeah, yeah, I got the picture. But listen, man, this script is garbage! The plot is tired, the characters are flat...
Oh really When I'm real I'm not a fake a double take My wife is real and so am I One word muthafucker You can't break this marriage tie
Ice Cube: snatches the script off the ground, flipping through the pages Yo, listen up. I don't care if we're "married" in some corny movie script.
Listen up all you want Cause my rhymes are fire and they never flop My wife is real And so am I
Ice Cube: throws his hands up in exasperation Alright, alright, enough with the rhymes. The point is, this movie is gonna be a bomb!
I know Just let me act like A married man With my wife on the set
Ice Cube: grabs Stranger by the collar Look, man, I respect your dedication and all that, but this movie is gonna be a disaster if we don't fix this script!
Ok ok Let's work on this Me and my wife
Ice Cube: releases Stranger's collar, pacing back and forth Alright, here's what we're gonna do. We need to add some real tension, real conflict.
Ice Cube: stops pacing and smirks Now we're talking! An affair, man! That'll shake things up! We gotta make it juicy, though.
Ice Cube: grins mischievously Alright, listen up. How about this - the affair isn't just some cheap plot twist?
Ice Cube: pulls out a notebook and starts scribbling What if the affair is a catalyst for real change?
Like my wife cheat on me She takes another man
Ice Cube: slams the notebook shut Nah, man, that's predictable. We gotta think outside the box. What if... pauses, tapping his chin
Ice Cube: excitedly grabs Stranger's shoulder What if the affair reveals a hidden truth? Like, maybe my character finds out that his wife has been hiding a huge secret all along!
Ice Cube: starts pacing again, gesturing wildly Like she's been lying about her past, man! Maybe she's not even who she says she is!
Ice Cube: stops pacing and looks at Stranger intently Yo, you see? This is what I'm talking about!
Ice Cube: grabs Stranger's hand and shakes it Alright, we've got our breakthrough!
Ice Cube: picks up the script and starts scribbling furiously Alright, let's flesh out this plot!

Ice Cube: starts pacing excitedly Well, how about this? The affair reveals that my character's whole life has been a lie!
Ice Cube: stops pacing and leans in closer to Stranger Yeah, man! We can turn this movie into a wild ride!
Ice Cube: throws his hands up in the air Woo-hoo! Alright, let's shake things up even more! How about we introduce some unexpected twists? Maybe the affair isn't just between my character and one person? What if there's a whole web of deceit and hidden relationships? Stranger: Ok
Ice Cube: rushes over to a whiteboard and starts drawing diagrams Alright, check this out!
