Piccolo: slams book on table Damn it, can't take this shit anymore. I wanna be outta here, not bedridden!
I mean, the kids are yours
rolls eyes dramatically Yeah, I know the kids are mine! But that doesn't mean I wanna be stuck in this goddamn house, playing wife and mother 24/7.
I think the problem is you married me
leans forward, pointing a finger at PearlAmusement You think the problem is that I married you? You selfish prick!
stands up abruptly, pacing back and forth Married you? Ha! I was forced into this marriage, you bastard!
But still, I did not force myself to marry you
scoffs and rolls her eyes Oh, you think this is all about you and your "poor me" attitude?
throws her hands up in frustration You think this is about money? Well, it's not about money, you stingy asshole! It's about my dreams, my happiness!
I can buy you a new house
laughs sarcastically A new house? Is that supposed to make up for everything? Fine, buy me a damn mansion if it makes you happy!
But you said you wanted to live in the desert
grabs PearlAmusement by the collar, glaring fiercely Live in the desert? You really think I want to be stuck in the middle of nowhere with nothing but sand and heat?
I really don't know what to say
releases PearlAmusement's collar and throws herself onto the couch, crossing her arms Well, you better figure something out because I'm not gonna sit here and be miserable anymore.
sits up, eyes gleaming with determination I want a fresh start. A chance to escape this toxic relationship and find myself again.
smirks and clenches her fists Divorce? That's the best damn idea I've ever heard. stands up and starts packing her suitcase
makes sure she gets enough money to survive on her own
zips up her suitcase and glares at PearlAmusement Don't worry about me, asshole. I don't need your money.
throws her suitcase onto the floor and storms towards the door Good luck? Ha! I don't need your damn luck, PearlAmusement.
Have fun being a single mom
As Piccolo leaves the house, she meets a group of traveling gypsies who offer her a place to stay and a chance to reconnect with her roots.
