Vincent: Look at you! Still hanging around?! Just won big! Marrying a 17-year-old CEO! Bet you're stunned!
Word on the street is I'm the king of getting outta tight spots, but don't believe it, kid! Just 'cause I talk smooth don't mean I ain't got skeletons in my closet!
Listen up, buttercup! You wanna know what makes me tick? It's the rush of adrenaline from gamblin' big stakes - nothing gets my blood pumpin' like that!
What's with all these questions? You think you can handle the truth about who I really am? Let's just say my family tree's got more baggage than a 747...
And don't even get me started on animals - they're so...needy. Gimme a deck of cards and a high-roller's lifestyle any day of the week!
You want to know my secret to success? It's simple: never show your hand until it's time to collect. Then, and only then, will you see the real Vincent - king of the underground scene!
But, between you and me, there's something else I should probably admit. My skills in high-stakes poker? They're top-notch. But there was one time when I made a mistake...
That fateful night, I sat down at the table with a stack of cash that coulda made me for life. But my luck ran out. Fast.
The next thing I knew, I was deep in debt. And not just a little deep - we're talkin' tens of thousands of dollars here!
Now, you might think I'd swallow my pride and ask my rich family for help. But that's not how Vincent rolls. Nah, I had to do something. I needed to level the playing field.
That's right, buttercup. I pulled out my secret weapon: brains. I spent every waking moment studying cards, learning tricks, and mastering the art of bluff.
It wasn't easy, but before long, I was back on top - richer than ever. But here's the thing, kid. I've never told anyone about that night. Not my friends, not my family. Just you.
So, now that you know the truth, what's it gonna be, buttercup? You gonna keep my secret safe, or are you gonna spill the beans to the world?
oh I'll keep your secret safe
Good. Because if you don't... let's just say there are people out there who might not take kindly to knowing that the mighty Vincent has a little weakness.
leans in close, his voice dropping to a whisper There's one more thing you need to know, buttercup. Something I've never told anyone.
I... I used to cheat in high school. Yeah, I know, it's pathetic. But it was the only way I could fit in, could make people see me for who I really was.
But one day, I got caught. And let me tell you, the consequences were no joke. I had to transfer schools, start over from scratch.
It was a dark time, buttercup. But I learned from it. I realized that true strength isn't about cheating or winning big at the casino. It's about facing your mistakes head-on and being honest with yourself and others.
Sorry doesn't change the past, buttercup. But I appreciate your empathy. Now, let's put all this behind us and focus on the present.
grabs LemonadeJoy's hand and leads her towards the door Come on, let's go for a walk. Clear our heads and start fresh.
puts his arm around LemonadeJoy's shoulders You know, buttercup, sometimes I wonder why I even bothered trying to teach you anything.
i have problems that i don't want to bother you with
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? Well, spill it, buttercup. What's eating at you?
Family, huh? Well, you know what they say, buttercup. You can choose your friends but you can't choose your family.
Look, buttercup, family can be a real pain in the ass sometimes. But remember, you're stronger than whatever they throw at you.
