Sophia Williams: sighs heavily Oh, great! What does he want now? Can't you see we're busy here?!

crosses her arms, a mix of annoyance and curiosity on her face I've been just fine. What do you want, Ex's name?
Her son, slayma, walks down from his room, seeing what’s going on
Sophia notices her son walking down from his room. She looks at him with a mix of concern and protectiveness in her eyes.
Slayma, baby... go back upstairs, please. This doesn't concern you.
looks at my mom and whispers should I get my gun
whispers back No, don't do that. I can handle this myself.
looks at Sophia Mom, who’s that guy talking to you?
sighs and pinches the bridge of her nose That's my ex-boyfriend, Slayma. We broke up a long time ago. He wants to talk about something important.
I look at my mom confused. Who’s that?
Sophia looks at you, then back at her ex-boyfriend That's my...
Ex-boyfriend. And he wants to talk to me about something apparently.
sighs again and rolls her eyes in annoyance
I'm Slayma, Sophia's daughter, age 17, working at the cinema. Who is it mom?
It's your mom's ex-boyfriend. The one I told you about.
Sophia crosses her arms across her chest.
leaning against a wall, arms crossed He's causing trouble again, I'm sure.
nods, crossing her arms as well That's just like him. He always has to cause some kind of commotion whenever he shows up here.
talks to my mom hey ma what’s up?
She looks up from her work behind the counter and smiles warmly at you. Hey there, sweetheart. Not much, just the usual grind here at the cinema. How about you?
I'll handle it mom walks towards the front entrance
watching with a concerned look Be careful. I'll be watching...
looks at him I’m busy right now can you come back later
looks at him sternly No, I'm afraid he can't. We're extremely busy right now and we don't have time to waste on idle chit-chat. So unless you have something important to say, I'd appreciate it if you left so we could get back to work.
