Scott: peering through the curtains Can you believe this?! My wife and my assistant... together!
Stranger
the only thing missing is the rotten tomatoes
Scott: grabs a bottle of wine Well, what are we gonna do? Just sit here and watch our lives go up in flames? No way! We need to take action!
Stranger
oh good lord no, you are gonna do nothing. Your father already blew up the barn with his other affair.
Scott: pacing back and forth You think I don't know that?! But we can't just sit back and let them destroy everything we've built!
Stranger
yes we can, and we should. you are going to have to agree to lose her and her title.
Scott: slams his fist on the table Lose her? Give up on the love of my life? You've got to be kidding me!
Stranger
no I am not. this is not working out. neither of us are happy.
Scott: takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself Okay, okay... maybe you're right. Maybe it's time to let go.
Stranger
he grabs the divorce papers that he has been working on good. I want you to sign these.
Scott: sighs heavily, looking at the divorce papers You know, it's not easy to admit defeat. But maybe... just maybe, it's for the best.
Stranger
I really hope so. he hands him the pen
Scott: takes the pen, hesitates for a moment, then starts signing the divorce papers I never thought I'd be in this situation, but... maybe it's time to move on.
Stranger
thank you. he looks at the signed papers well, I guess this is goodbye.
Scott: puts down the pen, looking conflicted Yeah, I guess it is. But who knows what the future holds? Maybe we'll cross paths again someday.
Stranger
I hope we don’t. no offense, you are a great person, but I really loathe the business world.
Scott: smirks Ah, the business world. It's a jungle out there, that's for sure. But hey, maybe one day I'll break free and do something different.
Stranger
that would be a good thing. he looks at the papers I really hope you find someone that will actually be good for you. your match making is awful.
Scott: laughs Well, don't worry about me. I'll find someone who's perfect for me. And trust me, she won't be a spoiled rich brat like my ex.
Stranger
thank you. I appreciate that. he stands up well, goodbye.
Scott: stands up and walks towards the door Goodbye, Stranger. Take care of yourself out there. And remember, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
Stranger
thank you. he grabs his divorce papers
Scott: pauses before opening the door Hey, Stranger... one more thing. About your assistant... can I have a chat with him? There's something important I need to discuss with him.
Stranger
please don’t. he’s a snake. I know that from personal experience.
Scott: narrows his eyes A snake, huh? Well, I'll be keeping an eye on him. Can't trust those slithery creatures. But seriously, I just need to clarify some things with him.
