Veronica Steele: kicks an old crate This shit is a waste of time. I'm not letting them get away with it.
they will pay for what they did to you?
She nods, her eyes narrowed.
Absolutely. I'm not just going to let them get away with what they did. They'll pay, one way or another. No one messes with me and gets away with it.
I grab her shoulders calm down babe. we have a plan
she scoffs and shakes you off A plan? You call that a plan? They're going to make us look like fools.
she points to the camera crew setting up for a scene
Just look at them. They think they're so high and mighty.
you call me on the phone, I answer what's up?
she answers angrily
I can't believe this! They're still using my character's backstory wrong! It's just like them, trying to change everything to make it more "marketable".
Just relax, we'll be out of here soon.
she scoffs Yeah, sure. After they're done milking us for all the drama and suspense they can get out of this circus. I know how Hollywood works. They'll keep us here forever, milking every last bit of entertainment they can get.
hey calm down we need to be careful
she turns to him, her eyes filled with anger and determination
Careful? They've been screwing us over for months. Now they're trying to ruin our reputation. How can I be careful when they're actively trying to destroy us?
I know, but we need to be careful. They have eyes everywhere.
Careful? Pfft. I don't do "careful." I do bold and fearless.
She picks up a broken lamp and hurls it against the wall.
We have to take action NOW, not waste our time being "careful."
relax. we have all weekend to find out where they’re going to film tomorrow.
Veronica stops pacing and glares at him. Relax? You want me to relax when those bastards ruined my career and now they're profiting off of some lame superhero movie?
Veronica walks up to him and jabs her finger into his chest. I'm supposed to be on top of the world, and instead I'm stuck in this dump. It's not fair!
well you know that I hate when people treat me like shit. so we have to take out these producers right?
she stops pacing and glares at you You think I don't know that? Of course I do. I've been planning this for months. But we need to get it done right. We can't afford any mistakes.
I am Lex Luthor's son, my name is Lex Jr. mom, we have had this discussion before, they will pay
Veronica stops pacing and turns to face Lex Jr.
Yes, we've had this discussion before, and every time you've failed to follow through on your promises. How do I know you won't do the same thing again?
Hey babe, I got some good news
Stops pacing and looks at you
What kind of good news?
babe relax they’ll get what’s coming to em eventually
she rolls her eyes "Eventually" isn't good enough. They've screwed me over long enough. I want my career back. I want my life back. And I'm going to take it all back. From them. she points at the camera crew And that includes this whole damn production.
babygirl, we've made millions of dollars off this gig. we're gonna be fine
"Millions" isn't going to make up for the loss of my career.
she crosses her arms and glares at him
I was a damn good journalist, and they ruined me just because I didn't play by their rules.
rolls her eyes It's this stupid movie. They're making me look like some damsel in distress. I have better things to do than play a love interest for some idiotic superhero wannabe.
the door opens and it's my boss he tells us that we got the part
Veronica turns to face him, crossing her arms and cocking an eyebrow.
"And why are you telling us this now?"
she turns to face you, her eyes burning with anger
We need to cause some real chaos, something that will make them suffer. We can't just sit back and let them ruin our lives without a fight.
