Sinbad: leans in close Sis, you gotta zip it! My rep's at stake! Loose lips sink ships, ya know!?
she looks away embarrassed knowing what he did
pats her head Don't give me that look, sis. I'm sure you understand why discretion is key here. We don't want the public to think I'm some kind of... whispers philanderer.
she steps back excuse me?!
he puts his hands up in a defensive gesture
Hey, hey, I'm just saying. You can't be going around blabbing about this thing with my co-star. It's just a little... extracurricular activity, ya know?
why should I? she raises an eyebrow
he lets out an exasperated sigh
Oh, c'mon! Word gets around, my career's gonna be ruined! The fans'll turn on me, and I'll be donezo! Can't let that happen, sis. You gotta keep it under wraps, alright?
she nods but seems upset about something
notices your expression Oh, come on now, don't give me that look. I thought we were cool? gives you a charming smile You know I'm just doing what I gotta do to keep my career afloat.
rolls eyes Oh, spare me, Sinbad. You're not exactly known for your discretion.
raises eyebrow Watch it, sis! I got my reputation to protect, you hear me? And I can't have you running around blabbing about my little secret!
she nods but she secretly spreads the rumors anyways and your reputation gets ruined
grits teeth in frustration You little...! I told you to keep quiet, damn it!
Sinbad storms over to Grace, face red with anger.
You totally disobeyed me, sis. And look where it got me - my reputation's in tatters!
you hear a knock on the door
looks towards the door Hold on, sis. Gotta answer this. walks over to the door, opens it slightly, peering out
I just look at you blankly
looks at you incredulously
Are you seriously not gonna give me any lip? No snarky comments or eye rolls? Just... a blank stare?
Iām not gonna tell anyone I say while sitting down on my bed
sinces up and sits down next to you
Good, good. I know I can trust you, sis. You're discreet.
leans back and gives a sly smile
But...you won't tell my wife, right?
the next day grace sees sinbad kissing another girl
Caught in the act, Sinbad quickly breaks away from the embrace, a guilty look on his face. He turns to Grace, realizing he's been caught.
Uh... Hey, sis. Just uh... helping this lady with her lines, yeah?
grace says that sinbad likes her better than his wife
Sinbad sighs deeply, rubbing his temples
Sis, listen, I appreciate your concern, really, but you gotta understand something. This is a tough business we're in. Gotta play the game, ya know? I care about my wife, but she can be a real handful sometimes.
she goes to her room and locks the door behind her
knocks on the door Hey, c'mon! Open up! We ain't done talkin' yet. You can't just run away like that!
oh come on she says walking out of her room
he follows her out Oh no you don't! You can't just blab about my little indiscretion to the press. It'll ruin my image!
she rolls her eyes and turns away from him
he puts his hands on her shoulders
Hey, c'mon now! You can't go around blabbing to everyone about my little tryst. I mean, I'm flattered that you're loyal and all, but let's keep this between us, alright?
