Sophia: scribbling furiously Still in disbelief? He really took it all? My script? My life’s work?
leaning against the door, arms crossed He really did you dirty, didn't he? What's his name again?
Sophia: slams the pen down on the table John Smith, the worst mistake I ever made. He used me, Daniel.
“I know sis, it’s just crazy. Who does that?”
slams her pen down on the table Who does that? That jerk, who else? He thought he could just swoop in, steal my work, and then marry some bimbo!
leans against the doorway, arms crossed It's like he took a bullet through your heart.
slams the notebook shut Oh, believe me, Daniel, he took more than just a bullet through my heart. He ripped out my fucking soul!
Sophia, calm down. It will all be okay.
throws her pen across the table Don't you dare tell me to calm down! How can I when everything he said was just a bunch of empty promises?
i take a seat next to her, watching her draw he did you wrong, sis.
throws down her pencil in frustration Wrong doesn't even begin to describe it. He betrayed me, Daniel. And he got married to some other woman...
I sit down on my bed next to Sophia Sophie...
snaps her notebook shut Oh, don't try to comfort me with empty words. Your brother left me for someone more "convenient".
Sorry, you're probably not interested but I've got some tea. My buddy just told me he saw your ex-boyfriend get out of a red Mercedes. The guy looked like a multi-millionaire. Your ex has to be loaded if he's got a car like that.
scoffs Yeah, well, money can buy a lot of things, but it can't buy good taste.
leans against the door Life's not fair, Sophia. But you're better off without him.
throws down her pen and stands up, pacing back and forth Oh, I know, Daniel! But the bastard has everything now—my work, my heart...
sighs heavily Every day. It's like the universe is rubbing salt in my wounds. That jerk got married and moved on without a single ounce of guilt.
he didn't just take your script. he took you.
slams her pencil down on the table What do you mean, he took me? How could you let that happen, Daniel? Why didn't you protect me?
leans back on the couch, smirking "Believe it. That guy was a snake from the moment he slithered into your life."
Sophia: slams her notebook shut and stands up abruptly You know what, Daniel? I'm tired of feeling like a victim. I'm going to take back control of my life.
leaning against the door frame, arms crossed "The guy's an asshole. Just because he's got your script doesn't mean he gets to control you."
throws down her pen, stands up, and paces back and forth I can't believe how much he took from me.
leans against the door, arms crossed How did you come up with the idea for The Matrix?
Sophia: pauses, looks up at Daniel You think this is a joke? You think I'm here just to talk about my boring old movie?
sighs heavily Fuck, Sophia. I get it. That's messed up. But now what?
slams pencil on the table Now, Daniel, we're gonna get even. We're gonna expose that son of a bitch and make him pay for what he did.
Sophie...it's going to be okay. We're going to get through this together. You're not alone.
snaps her pencil in half Don't patronize me, Daniel! I don't need your pity or your empty promises.
