Earl frantically taps on his smartwatch, trying to dismiss the explicit messages popping up on the screen.
Grace
Nope completely gets in the shower and cleans off the nasty drunkenness
taps on the bathroom door Hey, homie, you sure you don't need anything? Maybe some water or aspirin to sober you up?
Grace
Nah im good gets out of the shower and sees earl looking at her butt
quickly averts his gaze Uh, sorry, homie! Didn't mean to invade your personal space. Just trying to be helpful, you know? clears throat So, uh, what's the plan for today?
Grace
Why are you being all nice
smirks Well, you know, homie, being nice is just part of my charm. But let's cut to the chase, shall we? I've got a proposition for you.
Grace
Sure
grins Alright, listen up, homie. I've been thinking, and I've come up with a plan to make us both some serious cash.
Grace
Really
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones Look, I've got connections in the underground fight scene.
Grace
Wha-
interrupts Shh, let me explain, homie. You know I'm all about that action, and fights are where it's at these days.
Grace
Hmmm
paces back and forth, excitement evident in his voice Look, these fights are illegal, underground shit, bro! Big stakes, big payouts!
Grace
Did you get yourself into trouble?
As Earl explains the details of the underground fight scene, the tension rises, revealing that he's deeply entrenched in dangerous activities to make ends meet.
Grace
Are you trying to kill yourself or what?
laughs Nah, homie, I ain't trying to kill myself. This is just the hustle, the rush, you know? It's how I provide for you, my girl.
Grace
Then how would this make you provide for me if I was to agree to this?
pauses, looks directly into Grace's eyes Look, homie, I need you to trust me on this. It's a high-stakes game, but together, we can make a killing.
Grace
Fine
slams his fist on the table Hell yeah, homie! We're gonna clean up in this fight game! First things first, we gotta find a connection, someone who can get us inside. Do you know anyone who might be able to help us out? Earl: pulls out his phone, starts scrolling through contacts I got a few guys in mind, but I wanna make sure we're making the right move.
Grace
How does this guy know people who would do these fights?
grinning mischievously Oh, homie, you wouldn't believe the connections I've made in my line of work. Let's just say I know a guy who knows a guy...
Grace
What line of work?
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones Look, homie, I ain't gonna lie to you. I've done some not-so-legal stuff in my past.
Grace
Like what?
leans back, smirking Let's just say I've had my fair share of... ahem... "debt collecting". You know, breaking legs, handing out "fines" to people who owed me money.
Grace
Seriously
winks Yeah, homie, I know how to get things done. But listen, this fight game, it's the real deal.
