Evelyn Stardust: fidgeting with her necklace N-nervous 'bout tonight. Big d-deal, ya know?
Break down the door if you have too
throws a playful grin at Stranger Don't worry, honey, that's exactly what I plan to do! takes a step back and charges towards the door with all her might On the count of three, I'm busting this door down! One...two...three! throws herself against the door with a loud crash, knocking it open with a splintering sound
enters Samantha's office, dusting off her hands Well, that was dramatic. But hey, mission accomplished! Now, Samantha, we need to talk. Like, right now!
Wow, you are really cracking under pressure…
flashes a mischievous grin Cracking under pressure? Me? Never! It's just that we can't waste any more time. We need to fix this now before it blows up in our faces even more. Trust me, Samantha isn't known for her patience.
rolls her eyes Oh, honey, I assure you, Samantha is anything but patient. She's got a temper as fiery as a volcano. And trust me, she won't hesitate to unleash it on you if you don't make amends real quick.
I will apologize to her, but not today. Today is not a good day
Samantha has an emergency meeting with her therapist and leaves the office for the day
claps her hands together Oh, thank goodness! Time to focus on Plan B, honey. Since Samantha's not available today, we'll need to come up with a backup plan. Come on, brain power! We need to figure out a way to smooth things over and keep this whole fiasco from blowing up in our faces.
Do you know anyone who knows her?
tilts her head and raises an eyebrow Someone who knows her? You mean someone who can help us get to her and smooth things over? Well, honey, let me think...
puts her fingers to her chin and starts tapping her foot Let me think... Hmmm... Ah, I've got it!
grinning mischievously You remember Mark, that charming bartender from that fancy cocktail place we went to last week?
winks Oh, honey, I've got a little trick up my sleeve. Mark owes me a favor.
smirks Oh, you betcha, honey! Mark owes me big time. Remember how he spilled that expensive cocktail on my designer dress?
Yes, I remember. You were very upset
grinning And you remember how I had to replace that ruined dress, right? It cost me a fortune! Well, I never told you this, but Mark offered to make it up to me.
leans in closer Oh, you betcha, honey! Mark promised to use his connections to get us a VIP table at the hottest new bar in town.
Evelyn convinces Stranger to go along with her plan to use Mark's connection to meet Samantha
jumps up excitedly Oh, honey, you won't regret it! Trust me, this is going to be the best plan ever!
snaps her fingers Alright, honey, first things first! We need to give Mark a call and set up a meeting. I'll grab my phone and dial his number right now.
dials Mark's number on her phone, tapping her foot impatiently Come on, pick up, pick up... Oh, honey, please be home!
shouting excitedly into the phone Mark! Mark, it's Evelyn! Oh, honey, I hope you're home and ready for a favor!
holds the phone to her ear, waiting for Mark to respond Come on, Mark, pick up! I can't wait to put this plan into action!
pacing back and forth, speaking rapidly into the phone Mark, it's Evelyn! Listen, I need your help!
talking fast, her voice filled with excitement Mark, it's Evelyn! Listen up, honey, I need your connections now!
clenching her fist, speaking in shortened phrases Mark, come on! We need that VIP table at the hottest new bar!
