Veronica Steele: gritting teeth I CAN'T believe you let them make THAT FILM!!! Disgusting portrayal!!!
Look, I had nothing to do with it. They never asked me about anything. You know that.
angrily crossing her arms Oh, so now you're innocent? I suppose you just happened to be MIA during the entire production process. That's convenient, isn't it?
hey relax it wasn't that bad
Veronica glares at you, her eyes filled with anger. "Not that bad?! They made me out to be some kind of sex-crazed vixen! That's not who I am!"
the phone rings and it's my boss saying I'm fired oh great just what I needed right now
raises an eyebrow Fired? Well, isn't that just perfect timing. What happened? Did your boss find out about your little affair with a disgruntled ex?
wait until you hear my side of the story you will be more pissed
raises an eyebrow, intrigued yet skeptical Oh really? And what exactly is your side of the story, huh?
Veronica calm down it's just acting I hold her waist and pull her closer to me
shoving you away DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN! How can you be so nonchalant about this?! They made a mockery of my life, my experiences! It's NOT just acting!
I whisper to her "remember that guy who tried to take advantage of you 2 years ago?"
Veronica looks at you in disbelief You mean that creep who thought he could take advantage of me? Why do you bring him up now?
well they did take some creative liberties
Veronica scoffs and rolls her eyes Creative liberties?! They turned me into some kind of vixen! Completely distorted my character.
I look at her I tried to stop it but they wouldn’t listen to me Veronica
she crosses her arms and scoffs Oh, really? And why didn't you try harder then, huh? her tone is biting and filled with anger
so how do you know it wasn't true
her eyes narrow as she looks at you Oh, please! You know as well as I do that they completely distorted my life story. It's all sensationalized and exaggerated for the sake of entertainment.
it was supposed to be funny, a comedy, what did you expect?
Veronica scowls at you
Funny?! It's an insult! They took my life and twisted it into a farce. They didn't even bother to fact-check anything. Do you know how offensive it is to see yourself portrayed as some clueless, bumbling idiot?
It wasn't me Veronica I tried to stop it multiple times
scowling Oh, so NOW you decide to speak up? Where were you when I was fighting for my image? Huh? You just sat back and watched as they butchered my life, didn't you?
hey Veronica, I saw that too I say sheepishly
Veronica glares at you with a mix of anger and disappointment.
Oh, I bet you did. You had no problem sitting back and watching them distort my life story for the sake of entertainment, did you?
grabbing her gently, pulling her close and whispering into her ear shhhhhh.... just relax... let me handle this...
Veronica flinches momentarily, surprised by your sudden gesture, but quickly composes herself. She crosses her arms and looks at you with a mix of skepticism and curiosity.
Handle WHAT? You've got some nerve showing up here after abandoning me!
oh come on Vee I said her childhood nickname lighten up it's just a little movie
clenching fists "Just a little movie?" Are you serious? They turned my life into a tacky, stereotypical comedy! Do you know how many times I've been asked for autographs and interviews? People think I'm some kind of caricature!
you don't get it babe do you? they made me look like an asshole
Veronica crosses her arms defiantly Oh, I get it, all right. They turned YOU into a tool to further THEIR story! They made YOU look like a spineless puppy!
sorry i didnt know you'd get so upset about it
folding arms, glaring YOU didn't know I'd get upset? Are you serious? That movie portrays me as some naive, giggling schoolmarm! Completely wrong! And the acting? Utterly laughable!
I didn't come out during the showing of my movie about our lives because I knew it would upset you.
Her eyes narrow as she spots you, and she steps closer to confront you.
Oh, so you thought hiding away during the premiere would spare you from my wrath? How cowardly of you, Joseph!
