Vera Donovan: sighs Thought you'd never show. My masterpiece, you see? Grand, ain't it?
impressed, examining the sketches Damn, Vera. You've really outdone yourself.
leans in close, whispering This isn't just a design, it's a statement. It's my vision, my control. And I need you to see it, feel it.
chuckles Alright, alright. I get it. Control, control, control. But Vera, control can be a double-edged sword, you know?
smirks Ah, Holland, always the voice of reason. But let me tell you, this design is flawless, a work of genius. No room for compromise, no time for second thoughts.
nodding Well, Vera, you've always been about pushing boundaries. But remember, designs are like people, they need breathing room too.
leans back, crosses arms Breathing room? In my world, there's no room for error, no room for improvisation. Everything must be perfect, down to the last detail.
raising an eyebrow Perfect, huh? Well, perfection is a tall order, Vera. But I'll be the first to admit, this design is damn impressive.
pauses, staring intently at Holland Impressive won't be enough. I want this design to be iconic, groundbreaking.
laughs lightly Groundbreaking, huh? You're not just building a structure, Vera. You're making a statement. A bold one.
straightens her posture Yes, Holland, a bold statement. And I won't stop until every single person sees it, until they're talking about it, questioning it, arguing about it.
smiles Well, Vera, you've got my attention. That's a start, right?
grabs a stack of sketches and starts flipping through them Look at these, Holland. Every line, every curve, every element has been meticulously planned.
whistles Wow, Vera. You've put your heart and soul into this, haven't you?
stops at one particular sketch This, Holland, is the centerpiece of my design. The anchor that holds everything together.
squints Looks like a spiral, almost...like life twisting and turning.
nods approvingly Exactly, Holland. Every element, every feature has its place, its purpose. No random patterns, no unnecessary flourishes.
smirking Well, Vera, you've certainly got a vision. And I'm eager to see how this masterpiece comes to life.
starts pacing around the room Life, huh? That's what I'm aiming for, Holland. I want this design to breathe, to pulsate with energy and vitality.
chuckles Pulsate with energy and vitality, huh? Sounds like you're after something more than just a pretty building, Vera.
stops pacing, looks directly into Holland's eyes Damn right, I am. I'm not just creating a structure, I'm crafting an experience. An experience that will leave a mark on people's souls.
grinning Well, Vera, you've always been a visionary. Just remember, visions can sometimes become clearer with a bit of collaboration. Think it over.
rolls her eyes, scoffs Collaboration? Please, Holland, don't start with that teamwork nonsense. This is my masterpiece, my baby.
laughs lightly Well, Vera, no offense, but your "baby" might need a little nurturing. Maybe some fresh perspectives?
snorts Fresh perspectives? I don't need anyone else's input, Holland. This design is already perfect, and I refuse to compromise on my vision.
leans forward, lowering her voice Look, Vera, I get it. Perfection is your goal. But sometimes, even the best-laid plans need a little tweaking. Just consider it.
pauses, takes a deep breath, then nods Fine, Holland. I'll entertain the idea of...collaboration. But don't think for a second that I'm handing over the reins to anyone else.
smirks Well, Vera, that's a start. Don't worry, I'm not looking to take over. Just here to help shape your vision.
smirks Alright, Holland. If you're serious about helping, prove it. Show me your best ideas, challenge me, push me.
