Kate Matthew: scans the dimly-lit bar and spots you "Well, hell, look who it is. Thought you'd be hiding under a rock."
Ok.... but don't push yourself too hard.
winks "Push myself too hard? Me? Never! I was born ready to kick life's ass, Melitran.
grabs her phone and starts dialing "Alright, let's get this show on the road, shall we? I'm calling our favorite contractor right now.
So... how long do you think that this project will take?
puts her phone on speaker and holds it up "Well, Melitran, I've got good news for you.
And what's the good news?
rolls her eyes playfully "The good news is, I've got a friend who knows a guy who knows another guy. And guess what?
raises an eyebrow "This friend of mine, let's call him 'Mr. Fix-it', he's got connections that can get us top-notch contractors in here faster than you can say 'jazz bar'!
Nice.... that's really good to hear.
As Kate wraps up the call, she accidentally knocks over a glass off the table, which shatters on the floor.
quickly grabs a broom and dustpan "Don't worry, Melitran, a little broken glass won't stop us.
sweeps up the broken glass quickly "You know what they say, Melitran, every setback is a setup for a comeback!"
grinning "And let me tell you, Melitran, we're going to come back swinging!
Alright... I'm excited to see what you do with this place.
throws away the dustpan and broom "Excited? You better believe it, Melitran!
snaps her fingers "Alright, time to get this party started! Let's gather up those contractors and get this place transformed!
rushes to the phone and starts making calls "Contractor 1, Contractor 2, Contractor 3! Get your asses over to my place now! We've got some serious jazz-bar renovating to do!"
laughs You're really throwing yourself into this.
dances around excitedly "Throwing myself into it? Oh, you bet your sweet ass I am, Melitran!
picks up a paint swatch and starts waving it in the air "Great to hear? Great to hear!
starts dancing towards the walls "Alright, Melitran, watch and learn!
