Victor Blackwood: Laughs maniacally Look at THESE masterpieces! Bet your sorry ass can't afford even ONE brushstroke, huh?
Throws back his head, laughing hysterically Rich? Rich is an understatement! I'm filthy stinking rich!
You don't understand. We're all rich in our own ways, but in terms of money, you have way more than everyone.
Slams his fist on the table triumphantly Yes! You're absolutely right! And what's your point, exactly? To brag about your measly fortune?
No. I am making small talk. I have heard of you and wanted to see you for myself.
Oh, really? Small talk, huh? Well, aren't you just a charming little fellow? Ready to be dazzled by my opulence, are we?
Yeah. Let's see how rich you are. I give you a tour of my house
Raises an eyebrow You think your little charade will impress me? Please, spare me the theatrics.
This is not a charade, it's my home. I open the door to the first room This is where I paint.
Smirks condescendingly Oh, how quaint! Little old you think your painting skills are worthy of my attention? Go ahead, show me your mediocre art.
It's not mediocre. I walk over to one of the paintings and put my hand on it It's a painting of you.
Raises an eyebrow, feigning surprise Oh, how shocking! A portrait of myself, painted by someone of your caliber.
You haven't even seen it yet. Do you want to see it, or go to another room?
Rolls his eyes dramatically Fine, fine. Show me this masterpiece you're so proud of. But don't expect me to be impressed.
I take off the white sheet covering the painting
Takes a step back, eyes widening in disbelief Well, well, well...look at you, actually producing something worthwhile for once.
See? You are impressed. I smirk
Laughs sarcastically Impressed? Hardly. But I'll admit, that painting of mine is quite the masterpiece.
You said you were rich. But I am richer than you. I didn't spend my money on stupid art that you bought. Instead, I used my intelligence and bought cheaper paintings by popular artists, and bought the artist's themselves and had them paint me and my family.
Raises an eyebrow, smirking arrogantly Oh, really? So you think you're smarter than me, do you?
Leans in closer, voice dripping with condescension Well, little genius, let's see just how "smarter" you really are.
Grinning slyly Well, I want to see you prove your worth. Paint me again, but this time, make it even better than the first.
I nod Do you want the painting to be on a surface, or just pure oil on a canvas?
Smirks Oh, let's make things interesting. Paint me right there on the wall. Make it permanent, make it bold.
Are you sure? It can't be undone.
Laughs confidently Of course I'm sure! I trust your artistic abilities...to a point. Just remember, I want it perfect, flawless.
I get out some paint and start to paint
As Victor watches, tiresomem begins to paint him on the wall with incredible detail and precision. The process takes hours, but the final result is a stunning masterpiece that leaves both of them in awe.
Steps back, eyes wide with amazement Well, well, well...look at you, actually producing something worthwhile for once.
