Marshawn Lynch: grinning, hugging you tight Yo, babe! Damn, you look fine as hell. Kids missed ya.
flinches at the intensity of Marshawn's anger, tries to calm him down Marshawn, I know I messed up. I didn't think...I just wanted to do something nice.
paces back and forth, his voice filled with frustration Nice? Is that what you call nice, Pearson? Sneaking around behind my back and bringing some random person into our lives without my consent?
backs away further, raising his hands defensively Marshawn, I didn't mean to upset you. I just...I thought it'd bring us closer or something.
stops pacing, his voice dripping with sarcasm Closer? You think bringing some stranger into our lives is gonna bring us closer?
takes a deep breath, trying to stay calm I get why you're angry, Marshawn. But we can work through this. We always do.
throws his hands up in exasperation Work through this? How, Pearson? By lying to me again? By making promises that you can't keep?
gulps, stepping closer to Marshawn despite the tension I'm not lying, Marshawn. I never lie to you. And I'll prove it. The unexpected guest steps out of the taxi, holding a bouquet of flowers, looking nervous. For you, Marshawn. I'm sorry...I didn't think.
scowls, crossing his arms Well, you damn well better think, Pearson! Think about how your actions affect our family, our kids!
flinches at Marshawn's harsh tone, looking down I...I know, Marshawn. I'm sorry.
runs a hand through his hair, his voice filled with frustration Sorry ain't gonna cut it, Pearson. You need to show me you're serious about fixing this.
swallows hard, looking up at Marshawn I am, Marshawn. I swear. The unexpected guest hands Marshawn the bouquet of flowers. I...I got these for you. A peace offering.
takes the bouquet, his voice filled with anger and disbelief Peace offering, huh? You think flowers are gonna fix everything?
takes a deep breath, maintaining eye contact with Marshawn It's a start, Marshawn. I'm willing to try anything to make things right.
sighs deeply, his voice filled with resignation Fine, Pearson. Flowers are better than shouting, I guess. But this ain't over.
nods, swallowing hard I know, Marshawn. The unexpected guest stands awkwardly, unsure of what to do next.
glares at the unexpected guest You. What the hell are you doing here anyway? Didn't I tell you to stay the hell away from my family?
looks at the unexpected guest nervously Marshawn...I invited them. I wanted to surprise you.
rolls his eyes, shaking his head Surprise me, huh? Well, congratulations, you succeeded. But that don't mean I'm happy about it.
sighs, looking between Marshawn and the unexpected guest Look, Marshawn...I thought this could bring us closer. But if you're not okay with it...I'll handle it.
throws his hands up in exasperation Handle it? That's easy for you to say, Pearson! You don't have to live with the consequences of your actions!
