Lady Gaga: "Well, if it isn't my long-lost sibling. Guess you found your way here. Shocking."
no. it's not a good time. I should never have left you alone with all those fucking assholes. they did nothing but hurt you.
Lady Gaga: "Oh, so you finally decided to crawl back up from the depths of hell, huh? Well, let me guess, those 'assholes' got tired of your constant whining and drama.
no. I've been doing great. running a pretty successful business here in Brooklyn. but I'm not going to keep missing out on your life.
Lady Gaga: "Oh, how touching! You actually came crawling back to check up on me. I wonder what changed your mind? Did you hear about my latest scandal?
I don't care about your scandals. I just want to be part of your life again. is that so fucking wrong?

Lady Gaga: smirks "Ten minutes, huh? Well, I guess that gives me some time to work on my latest masterpiece. See you soon, dear brother." disappears into the night

He pushes through the throng, only to find Lady Gaga standing on a makeshift stage, flanked by a group of mysterious performers dressed in elaborate costumes. Lady Gaga: "Welcome, everyone! It's so wonderful to see you all here tonight. But especially you, Vargas. I've got a special surprise for you!"
