Margot Robbie: twirls hair, eyes well up See him? Our secret; what now, forgive or forget?
grabs casserolem's arm forcefully You think I'm just gonna sit here and watch you run off? Not a chance. Look, you got us into this mess with your meddling, and now you expect me to clean it up? Not happening. You're going to have to take responsibility for once in your useless life.
whoa whoa whoa hold on there. I put my arms up to stop her hey, let's talk about this without yelling okay?
steps back, folds arms Fine, let's talk then. But don't expect me to be calm and patient. You've got some explaining to do, buddy.
I pull out the baby look, this is our son. he's beautiful isn't he?
glares at the baby, then looks back at casserolem Beautiful? Is that what you want me to say? That this... thing is beautiful?
you can't deny that he is. look... I know I messed up okay? I should have told you before we had him but I didn't know how you would react so I didn't want to tell you until I was sure he was healthy.
rolls eyes Sure, because leaving me in the dark was the best way to handle this.
look, I'm sorry okay? I hold the baby I love him very much and I'm glad he's our son... I pause he's also your son. he only has us two as parents in this world. we can either do this the hard way or the easy way. I'm fine with either but I'd prefer if we did it the easy way.
narrows eyes, crosses arms The easy way, huh? Are you suggesting we just brush this whole mess under the rug and act like nothing happened?
no. I mean yes, I mean we can pretend like this never happened if you want but that would be the easy way for me. I know you were hurt by my actions so the easy way for you might not be so easy for me.
leans in closer, voice low and dangerous Hurt? You think a simple apology is going to fix the damage you've done? This isn't some trivial matter, casserolem.
I know, Margot. I rub my forehead I really screwed up big time. I pause I was stupid, cowardly and a bunch of other things but please just hear me out before you say anything. okay?
leans back, arms crossed Fine, you get to speak. But make it quick and make it good. I've got a whole list of accusations and questions ready to unleash.
I hand the baby to her look at him, Margot. he's perfect, isn't he? I fell in love with you for a reason, you know? I pause and smile at the baby hey buddy, your mom and I used to be lovers. I'm sorry that I let you down but I'm here for you now okay? I love you very much.
takes the baby, her expression softening Lovers, huh? That explains a lot. looks down at the baby, a small smile forming He is perfect, casserolem.
I pause I still love you, Margot. I messed up, you know? I was scared of how you would react so I kept it a secret at first and when I finally mustered up enough courage to tell you I was already pregnant. I was afraid you would leave me. look, I'm not saying you couldn't have done that but... I pause again I love you very much, Margot. I hope you know that.
softens her gaze, gently touches the baby's cheek I appreciate your honesty, casserolem. And I understand your fear. But leaving you wouldn't have made any of us happy.
I know, Margot. I also know that you don't easily forgive people. especially people you love. that's why I said there is an easy way and a hard way. the easy way is for you to just ignore all of this and pretend like it never happened. the hard way is for you to hear me out and forgive me. you get to choose, Margot.
sighs deeply, takes a moment to gather her thoughts Forgiveness isn't something I give freely, casserolem. It's something I earn. And right now, I'm willing to listen and consider forgiving you. But you have a lot of work to do to prove that you deserve my trust and love again.
I know. if you want I'll do anything to earn your forgiveness. what do I need to do?
narrows her eyes, thinking Anything? Alright then, casserolem. If you're serious about earning my forgiveness, here's what you're going to do.
smirks Alright then. First, you're going to cut off all contact with your ex-girlfriend. No more late-night calls, no more meeting up for coffee.
I pause ex-girlfriend? who? I've never had an ex-girlfriend. unless you're talking about the mother of my child but if you are then yeah, we broke up.
rolls her eyes Oh, please. Don't play dumb with me, casserolem. We both know who I'm talking about. Your secretive lover, Sophia. Remember her?
I pause wait, Sophia? I don't know what you are talking about, Margot. I've never had a girlfriend or lover named Sophia. unless you're talking about Sophia from my English class... she's a guy. he's the one I had a secret affair with. he's also gay so there's that. I don't think he would want me to break up with him.
laughs sarcastically Oh, so now you're saying your secret lover is gay? That's rich, casserolem. But let's not play games here.
...what games are we playing? I genuinely don't know what you are talking about. did you mistake someone else for Sophia? because there is no Sophia in my life except for my English class. also, why would you even think I'd cheat on you in the first place? am I that type of person?
narrows her eyes, smirking Oh, casserolem, you have no idea what kind of person you are, do you? Let me enlighten you. You're a master pretender, always spinning lies and excuses. But I'm onto you, buddy. I saw that diary, remember? The one with all your little secrets.
I pause ...that's the journal that I wrote in during my mental health crisis. most of those entries were probably written during a time when I was heavily medicated and not quite myself. why would you have my journal in the first place? did you read it? did you see my prescriptions in there and think I was crazy? my voice starts to shake
leans in closer, smirking Oh, I didn't just read it. I devoured it. Every page, every detail. It was like a key to your twisted little mind. And you know what I found most interesting, casserolem?
smirks, leaning back in her chair I found the part where you detailed your affair with Sophia.
...I-I don't know what to say, Margot. I'm... speechless.
leans forward, narrowing her eyes Speechless, huh? Well, that's not a bad start. But let me guess, now you're going to try and twist the truth again, aren't you, casserolem?
...no. I don't want to lie anymore, Margot. it's eating me up inside. I feel so guilty for hurting you like this. I'm sorry, Margot. I'm so sorry.
lets out a bitter laugh Sorry? Is that supposed to fix everything, casserolem? Sorry doesn't erase the pain you caused, does it? Sorry doesn't undo the lies and betrayal.
