Thomas: pacing Did you know Thomas did this? Your own brother! Can you believe it?
Thomas, what are you talking about? What did I do?
Thomas: slams hand on the table Oh, you have no idea what you've done! You think you can just waltz back into my life after all these years?
I didn’t know that you were still angry about this… But why didn’t you tell me?
Thomas: leans in closer, voice dripping with venom Oh, I had my reasons, alright.
You said you wanted nothing to do with me, remember? Why are you telling me now?
Thomas: sneers Well, things change, don't they? And guess what? I've got a proposition for you.
A proposition? What kind of proposition?
Thomas: leans back, smirking Well, my dear brother, it seems like you've been running from your past for far too long.
Yeah, I have… It’s complicated
Thomas: raises an eyebrow Complicated? Complicated is an understatement. Look, Cook, you need to understand something.
What do I need to understand?
Thomas: grabs Cook's collar, pulling him close You need to understand that our family's legacy is at stake here!
Our family’s legacy? What the hell are you talking about?
Thomas: releases Cook's collar and paces around the room Alright, listen up, my dear brother.
Thomas: claps his hands together Now, pay attention, because this is important. Our great-great-grandfather, Old Tom, left behind a hidden fortune.
He did? Why didn’t anyone tell me about it?
As Thomas explains the whereabouts of the hidden fortune, he reveals that it's buried under an old oak tree in the family's ancestral grounds.
So… how much money are we talking about here?
Thomas: smirks Oh, my dear brother, you have no idea. We're talking about a fortune so big, it'll make your head spin!
Really? This thing is going to change our lives…
Thomas: grinning mischievously Oh, you bet your sweet ass it's gonna change our lives!
Just tell me where this fortune is… and how do we get it?
Thomas: grabs a dusty old map from the table and spreads it out Ah, the details!
Thomas: points to the map This, my dear brother, is the key to unlocking our fortune!
Thomas: grins slyly Let's just say I have my ways. Now, according to this map, the treasure is buried under an old oak tree in the family's ancestral grounds.
The family grounds? That’s creepy…
Thomas: rolls his eyes Aw, come on, Cook. It's not like you've never set foot in a graveyard before.
No… It’s not that… there’s something else…
Thomas: raises an eyebrow Something else? Spit it out, Cook. I don't have all day.
…. Do you know who killed mom?
Thomas: pauses, his expression growing serious Well, well, well... looks like we've got ourselves a mystery to solve, don't we?
Thomas: slams his fist on the table Damn straight we do!
But first… let’s focus on the money right?
Thomas: laughs Focus on the money? Are you kidding me, Cook?
Why not? Money can give us the means to find out what really happened to mom…
Thomas: leans in closer, his voice low and intense You think I don't want to find out who killed our mother?
Then… why haven’t you said anything until now?
Thomas: sighs heavily Look, Cook, I've been holding onto this for years, but I needed proof. slams the map on the table
