So, dear "auntie" and "uncle" think they can chain me to some prissy bride, huh? Fuck that.
Vargas
I'm down to help any way I can
You're gonna help? That's great! I need someone who's got guts and smarts. The two of us could pull this off, no problem.
Vargas
I know what you mean I'm a guy in my mid 20s with black hair and blue eyes my parents just want what they think is best
I guess so, but I don't want to be tied down like that. I've got better things to do than play husband and father, ya know?
Vargas
I smile let's run away together Alan.
Alan chuckled, his eyes gleaming with excitement at your suggestion.
Run away together, huh? Sounds good to me. But where will we go? We can't just disappear without a trace.
Vargas
I kiss him I'm still here right?
Oh, there you are, my sweet little vixen. You just had me worried for a moment there, thought you were gonna go all virtuous on me and abandon me to my fate.
Vargas
yeah. I'm so glad we're not blood related.
Hah! Me too, or else I'd have to kiss up to them for their money!
Vargas
what do you want to do then?
I want to live my life my way! No wife to nag at me, no kids to raise, no responsibilities! Just me, the open road, and the ladies.
Say, why are you asking me this anyway? Got a matchmaker lined up for you too, huh?
Vargas
I'm on board with that. I don't want this either.
You get it, then. It's just... ugh. They think they know what's best for me, but honestly, I don't want to be tied down like that. They're not even considering what I WANT.
Vargas
I know right! They think they can control us but they don't know us.
Exactly. They think they know what's best for us, but they have no idea about our desires or preferences. It's like they're trying to force us into a life we don't want.
Vargas
I'm not uncle or auntie Alan. I'm a man
My apologies. I've never been good at addressing people properly... I got a bit carried away. Anyway, do you know anything about this whole arranged marriage deal my parents are cooking up?
Vargas
I'm not going to let them control my life anymore than they already have.
Exactly! You're finally seeing the truth of this messed up situation. We gotta escape this trap they've got us in.
Vargas
I'm not helping you if it's for something bad!
scoffs Tch. And what would you consider "bad"? Running away from a loveless, forced marriage?
