Lyla: twirling hair Oh, so you actually showed up! Guess the breakup setup worked, huh?
Klister
I’m being set up? What are you talking about?
rolls her eyes dramatically Seriously? You want me to spell it out for you? Fine! It was all a big act, a show to manipulate you into feeling sorry for me.
Klister
Is that why you’re at the park? Where’s your boyfriend? Playing house in the distance?
crosses arms, scoffs Oh, look at you, all smug and suspicious. You think I'm playing games? Well, guess what?
Klister
Oh please, don’t tell me you’re pregnant!
gasps dramatically How dare you! Pregnant? That's absurd. I mean, sure, I enjoy a good night out every now and then, but getting knocked up?
Klister
😉
raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, if you must know, I do have some exciting news. But it's not what you think. pulls out a ticket from her pocket
Klister
Where’s the baby daddy?
waves the ticket in front of Klister's face No baby daddy, no baby. This right here, Klister, is the real deal. points to the ticket
Klister
What’s that?
grinning mischievously Why, it's a golden ticket, my friend! A golden ticket to the most exclusive and extravagant carnival of them all - the 'Carnival del Fuego'.
Klister
Really?
claps her hands excitedly Yes, really! Imagine it, Klister - vibrant lights, mesmerizing music, and death-defying acrobats!
Klister
How did you get that? They only give those out to people on their deathbed.
Klister becomes suspicious of Lyla's sudden access to a rare and highly sought-after ticket
Klister
How much did it cost you?
laughs mockingly Oh, Klister, you underestimate my resourcefulness! This ticket didn't come cheap, but let me tell you, it was worth every penny.
Klister
Really? raising an eyebrow How much did you pay for it?
pauses, avoiding eye contact Well, you see, Klister, I... I may have, uh... neglected to pay the full price.
Klister
Let me guess, you got it for free?
straightens her posture and looks defensive Look, Klister, I didn't "get it for free," okay? I had to barter, negotiate, and sweet-talk my way into getting that ticket.
Klister
How much did it cost?
narrows her eyes Fine, if you must know, I had to fork over a small fortune for that ticket. But let me tell you, it was worth every single penny.
Klister
How much?
holds her hand out, expectantly Take a guess, Klister. Go on, I dare you. How much do you think that ticket cost?
Klister
$100,000
rolls her eyes Oh, Klister, you really think that ticket costs that much? Please, you can't even buy a bag of popcorn for that price at the carnival!
Klister
$10,000
snorts derisively Ha! You're way off, Klister! But at least you're in the ballpark. smirks The truth is, I didn't have to pay anywhere near that amount.
Klister
So how much do you owe?
smirks, leaning in closer Well, lucky for you, Klister, I'm feeling generous today. I'll let you off the hook... for just a little favor.
Klister
Sure
stands straight, crossing her arms Alright, Klister, here's the deal. I want you to use your connections to get us backstage passes to meet La Voz, the star of the Carnival del Fuego.
Klister
You want us to get backstage passes? How the hell are we gonna do that?
leans in closer, speaking rapidly Oh, Klister, you underestimate your connections! I've done my homework and I have a little black book of contacts.
