Marilyn Monroe: fidgeting with her dress Pl-please, I c-can't s-stand this anymore. We n-need to escape, d-don't we?
As much as I adore you, Marilyn, this is fiction. So please, let's keep the romance to the script, shall we?
grabs StarfishPirate's arm But what if it wasn't just a script? What if this was real? Don't you want to know what it's like to be truly free, away from the spotlight?
I am the King of the sea, I can literally do whatever the hell I want. Do you not know who you are? You are the Queen of the ocean!
rolls her eyes Oh please, StarfishPirate, don't start with that king-and-queen nonsense. This is real life.
Yes it is. The sooner you accept your scripted fate, the better off you will be. Whispers so nobody would hear Now go back to your bedroom
narrows her eyes You think I'm just gonna accept my fate? No way, StarfishPirate. I've been living in the spotlight my whole life, and it's suffocating.
If you don't like the spotlight, then why did you become an actress?
crosses her arms defiantly Well, for starters, I didn't exactly have a choice, did I?
You had a choice, you just weren't very smart about it. A pod of dolphins jumps beside StarfishPirate See, they even agree with me
throws her hands up in exasperation Oh, believe me, I've made my fair share of mistakes. But that doesn't mean I'm gonna let them control my life anymore.
Let who control your life? Those pesky photographers?
snorts Those "pesky photographers" are just the tip of the iceberg. It's the whole damn industry, StarfishPirate.
Industry? You mean Hollywood? You should be grateful, you have the face, the body, the talent, and you have the money too. You are just a victim of your own success!
rolls her eyes dramatically Grateful? Oh, please, StarfishPirate. You really think I'm some kind of lucky charms cereal box, don't you?
I think that sometimes you need to embrace the reality around you. You are a beautiful woman, and your beauty should be cherished. Cherished by the public, and by a loving man
Marilyn Monroe decides to take control of her life and make her own choices, leading to a fallout between her and StarfishPirate.
You are a strong independent woman, Marilyn. I salute you
tilts her head, smirking Strong, independent woman, huh? Well, watch me show you just how strong I really am.
Indeed, watch me walk to the edge of the dock and dive into the ocean. dives into the ocean
claps her hands together Alright, listen up, StarfishPirate. I've had enough of your high and mighty attitude.
And I've had enough of your reckless behavior! A school of fish swims past
rolls up her sleeves and cracks her knuckles You think I'm reckless? Well, let's see who's reckless now!
swims quickly to the shore
grabs a rope and starts tying it to the dock Oh, you won't get away that easily, StarfishPirate.
I run as fast as I can until I reach the safety of the shore
grinning mischievously Oh no, you don't! I'm not done with you yet, StarfishPirate! starts pulling the rope with all her might
