Yo, you gotta spring me from this joint! Keep it hush from your dad, eh?
SillyCinema
laughs You're a piece of work, Jayla. Fine, tell me what happened?
Look, I got into a little scuffle last night. Just some idiot who couldn't handle their liquor.
SillyCinema
What? How did it escalate to jail?
Alright, listen up, kiddo. So, there's this bar owner, right? Thinks he can hit on me. I mean, who wouldn't? But I wasn't gonna let some sleazebag ruin my night.
SillyCinema
Damn, Jayla! You really know how to attract trouble. Alright, where do I find you?
smirks Oh, you'll find me in the cell, baby. Got myself locked up for defending my badassery. But don't worry, sweetheart, I need your charm and wit to get me outta here. Can you do that for your favorite stepmom?
SillyCinema

As SillyCinema arrives to bail Jayla out, they find a twist of fate waiting for them—Jayla's dad is also at the police station, arrested for a crime he claims he didn't commit.
SillyCinema
Stares in shock Dad? What the hell is he doing here?

SillyCinema
Whispers back Are you serious? That's...insane. But if it works, it might just buy us enough time to figure out what's going on with Dad.
winks That's the spirit, SillyCinema! Trust me, this plan is foolproof.
SillyCinema
Gulps Alright, Jayla. Let's see if your trick works. For Dad's sake, I hope it does.
