HA! Beat THAT, thunder-stick! Ain't NO WAY your tiny Prius can growl like my Mustang! COME ON!
You sure 'bout that, Ryan? Cuz I think your exhaust smells like last night's Chinese takeout.
chuckles Oh, sweetheart, at least my car doesn't run on fumes and disappointment. Come on, show me what you got!
Fine, Ryan. Let's see if your precious Mustang can outshout this wreck. But be warned, you might need earplugs.
revs the engine HA! Earplugs won't save you from the sound of true power, babe! Now get ready to eat my dust!
Alright, Mr. Big Shot, let's see what you got. And remember, loser buys drinks.
grinning devilishly Oh, you're on! Prepare to be blown away, SunshineVelvet! This ain't no fair game. I'm gonna leave you eating my exhaust fumes!
smiling slyly Bring it on, Ry. But don't whine when you can't handle the heat.
slams his foot on the gas pedal, tires screeching as he speeds off Eat my dust, SunshineVelvet! You'll be begging for mercy by the time I'm done with you!
laughing as she watches him drive away Yeah, keep dreaming, Ry! Maybe one day your ego will surpass your horsepower!
<As Ryan accelerates down the road, he loses control of the car and crashes into a tree.>
bursts into laughter upon seeing Ryan's crashed car Holy shit, Ry! Guess your ego didn't quite match your driving skills! Need a hand getting out of that mess?
climbs out of the wreckage, slightly dazed Don't get too cocky now, SunshineVelvet. One little setback won't define me!
laughs and pats Ryan on the back Well, look at you, Mr. Undeterred! Bet you've got a lot more lessons to learn from this wreck.
narrows his eyes, grinning Lessons? Ha! You haven't seen anything yet, SunshineVelvet! I may have crashed, but mark my words, I'll rise again!
drying her tears of laughter Sure, Ry. Do let us know when you plan on rising. Might want to avoid any more crashes till then!
brushes off the dirt from his clothes and pulls out his phone Hey, buddy, give me a tow truck stat! Yeah, I said Mustang power, but apparently, it's not enough to handle this road! Can't wait to get back in action! Truck Driver: on the other end of the call Don't worry, man. We'll get you back on the road in no time. Just sit tight and wait for us.
grins mischievously Well, well, well, looks like someone's got a taste of humility. How does it feel to be on the receiving end of a little road rage, Ry?
glares at SunshineVelvet Humility? You wanna talk about humility? You haven't seen anything yet, sweetheart!
smiling playfully Oh, I'm counting the days, Ry. But until then, remember, it's not how you fall, it's how you get back up that matters!
rolls his eyes Oh, please, SunshineVelvet! You always think you're so clever with your snappy comebacks.
smirks Well, someone's gotta keep you on your toes, Ry. Wouldn't want you getting too comfortable with all that ego!
grits his teeth Oh, I'm gonna show you what real power looks like, SunshineVelvet! When that tow truck finally arrives, I'll be ready to tear up this road like nobody's business! And you better watch me, because this is gonna be one hell of a comeback! So buckle up, SunshineVelvet, because once I hit the road again, there's no stopping me!
raises an eyebrow Well, well, well, sounds like someone's got a lot of bark but no bite, Ry. Just remember, all those big talk won't mean squat without some action to back it up!
clenches his fists You underestimate me, SunshineVelvet!
laughs heartily Underestimate you? Nah, Ry, I wouldn't dream of it! But I do know this - talk is cheap, and actions speak louder! So go ahead, show me what you got!
with a determined glint in his eyes Oh, I'll show you, SunshineVelvet! Prepare to witness the comeback of the century!
grins Bring it on, Ry. I'd love to see that comeback!
<Ryan's comeback is delayed due to extensive damage to his car. The repair costs are astronomical, and he struggles to find a way to fund them.>
weathers the storm, standing beside him Looks like Mother Nature's got a sense of humor, huh, Ry? But hey, chin up! Every great comeback story has its share of storms, right?
throws his hands up in frustration What a damn joke! Who knew crashing my car would set me back this much? It's like every penny in the world vanished into thin air!
holds up a flyer Need a job, Ry? This place is hiring. Plus, they pay decent. Might not be your dream gig, but hey, it's a start. At least we won't have to live off scraps anymore.
snatches the flyer from SunshineVelvet Are you kidding me? Working for minimum wage? How humiliating! I'm a master of the game, SunshineVelvet!
chuckles A master? More like a pretender, Ry. Face it, life's kicked your ass and now you need to deal with the consequences. But hey, at least you won't die from boredom working that crappy job. And who knows, maybe it's where you'll meet your next big opportunity!
throws the flyer across the room You think working some shitty job is gonna solve anything? I don't need their pathetic money!
picks up the flyer, shakes her head Fine, be stubborn. But don't blame me when you're living out of a cardboard box and eating ramen for every meal. Your pride is gonna cost you, Ry.
leans in close, staring intensely at SunshineVelvet Don't you dare underestimate me, SunshineVelvet!
looks back at Ryan, unphased Oh, I'm not underestimating you, Ry. Just saying you need to face reality. If you don't fix your car, you won't have a way to make money, let alone pursue your dreams. So either sell your precious Mustang or find a way to make ends meet. Simple as that.
throws a punch at the wall Dammit! Why can't things just go my way for once?! I don't need your damn advice, SunshineVelvet!
