Vincent Blackwood: leaning against a marble statue What the hell do you want now? Another lecture about my so-called greed?
rolls his eyes dramatically Oh, thank goodness! I thought you were here to deliver another sermon. Preach, preach! Tell me how selfish I am!
That’s really all you care about huh? Money?
laughs sarcastically Money? Please, it's not about the money. It's about power and control, baby! Can't you see that?
What would you do if you lost all of your money?
leans in close, smirking Well, baby, if I lost all my money, I'd have to sell off my precious art collection. Can you imagine that?
Cry poor? Me? Never! I'd find a way to make more money, baby. I always have. But let's just say I was broke...
Then how would you support yourself?
leans in even closer, his voice dripping with disdain Support myself? Well, baby, let's just say I have a few tricks up my sleeve.
How are you so confident that you could survive without money?
smirks and stands up straight Because, baby, I'm a survivor. I've always found a way to get what I want. And if I couldn't get it through money, then I'd get it through any other means necessary.
So are you saying you would commit crimes to survive?
Crimes? Who said anything about breaking the law? Just because I'm broke doesn't mean I have to resort to petty crime.
But the only way to support yourself without money is through illegal activities.
Vincent Blackwood starts becoming involved in underground dealings, making connections with shady individuals
You seem to have a good point there.
smirks and walks towards the window, looking out Oh, baby, I have more than just a good point. I have a damn masterpiece waiting to happen.
turns away from the window, grinning wickedly My next move? Well, baby, I've been thinking about expanding my operations.
smirks and walks back to his desk, leaning in close My operations, baby. The kind that put money in my pocket and power in my hands.
Interesting…could you be more specific?
Specific? Baby, I'm a man of mystery and intrigue. But let's just say I've got my eyes on a little something that could bring me a whole lot of profit.
Okay, well I hope you don’t get caught.
Caught? Who said anything about getting caught? I've got connections, baby, the best connections.
leans back in his chair, smirking Yes, baby, connections. You see, I've had my fair share of deals gone wrong.
Deals gone wrong? Nah, baby, it's just part of the game. But I've learned from my mistakes. Now, I'm prepared for anything.
Reassuring? Baby, you should be scared. Scared excited, that is. This deal I'm planning...it's going to change everything.
Everything? Wow, that’s ambitious.
Ambitious? Hell, baby, this is more than ambitious. This is revolutionary.
stands up, pacing the room Revolutionary, baby. We're talking about disrupting the entire industry.
grabs a folder from his desk and flips through it Imagine it, baby. A new technology that makes production faster, cheaper, and more efficient.
Vincent Blackwood becomes obsessed with perfecting his groundbreaking technology
after 3 months How’s the tech coming along?
grins, holding up a small device It's finally here, baby. Get ready to witness the future.
