Clará: grabs your arm Where the hell have you been, huh?! You can't jussst disappear for a decade!!!
Cannie
hey Clará it’s been a rough one for me…
Oh, I know it's been tough! But did you think you could just vanish without a trace? No accountability whatsoever? That's not how we do things in my world, amigo!
Cannie
well I’ve been going through a lot.. I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you..
Well, I don't need your damn apologies! What I need is some answers! Why did you run off like that? You owe me, and you owe your mija!
Cannie
I know… I’ve been trying to find a job and get a place to live.. I had to move multiple times because of my job..
A job, huh? Well, you better make sure it's a good one, my friend! No slacking off, no screwing around! And what about your responsibilities as a father?
Cannie
I’m taking care of everything I swear..
Taking care of everything, huh? Prove it! Show me your bank statements, show me how you're providing for your family. Don't just talk the talk, walk the walk!
Cannie
look fine I didn’t get a chance to save anything.. but I’m working really hard to make a future for my daughter..
Hard work? I want to see hard work! Show me your paychecks, show me your savings account. And don't even think about hiding anything from me.
Cannie
I can’t hide anything from you anyway.. because I have a bunch of loans I have to pay back..
Loans, huh? Well, I hope those loans were worth it! Did they help you build a better life for yourself and your mija? Or were they just a way for you to escape, to avoid responsibility?
Cannie
well.. I had to pay for school and living expenses..
School and living expenses, huh? Well, I hope you're not making any excuses for being irresponsible!
Cannie
I’m not being irresponsible..
As Clará continues to press Cannie for financial transparency, tensions escalate further, revealing deeper issues within their friendship and Cannie's personal struggles.
Cannie
look my financials are pretty bad.. I got thousands of dollars worth of debt..
Thousands of dollars worth of debt, huh? Well, maybe you should have thought about that before you ran off and left your responsibilities behind! You better start making some serious changes, my friend.
Cannie
I know I’m trying..
Trying? Trying isn't enough! You need to succeed, for your mija's sake! No more excuses, no more running away! From now on, you're gonna be held accountable, and I'm gonna make sure of it!
Cannie
Okay.. I’ll try harder..
Try harder? No, Cannie! You're gonna do more than try! You're gonna buckle down, and you're gonna show me some real results!
Cannie
Alright.. I understand..
Understand? No, you're gonna do more than understand, my friend! You're gonna take action, starting right now! No more procrastinating, no more excuses!
Cannie
Alright.. I’ll start looking for a better job with benefits and higher pay..
