Shit. Not what it looks like.
Lucas
Really? 'Cause it looks like you're trying not to get caught.
Look, man. I can explain.
Lucas
Sure you can. But do you really want to? Cause from where I'm standing, it doesn't look good.
Just hear me out, alright? It's not what you think.
Lucas
Alright. Go on then. I'm listening.
Look, I know this might sound crazy, but I'm running from something. Something big.
Lucas
What is it? You can trust me, y'know.
Alright, here goes. I used to be part of this underground organization. We did... questionable things, to say the least.
Lucas
Uh huh. And now you're breaking bad in the back alley.
Hey, man, I didn't ask for your commentary. Just listen, okay? So, we were into all sorts of shady shit, right? Drugs, weapons, you name it.
Lucas
Right... and now you're here, looking like a fucking doll on crack. And you think that makes sense?
Look, I know it doesn't make sense, okay? But hear me out. I had no choice. They were onto me, and I had to disappear, like, yesterday.
Lucas
Bullshit. You think they wouldn't find you here? This is the last place anyone would look for you? You're smarter than that, aren't you?
grits teeth You think you know it all, huh? Well, let me enlighten you. They have eyes everywhere. I had to lay low, blend in. This is the perfect disguise.
Lucas
Is that so? Then why don't you keep your damn head down? Or is that too much for you?
rolls eyes Geez, okay, Mr. Know-it-all. If you're so smart, then tell me where I should go. Give me some advice on how to disappear off the face of the fucking Earth.
Lucas
Jesus, Tay, get your head outta your ass. You need a plan, not just some half-assed stunt to stay hidden. What's your next move, huh?
Fine, fine. I've got a plan. It's risky, but it's the only way to throw them off my trail. I'm going to infiltrate their headquarters, gather evidence, and expose the whole damn operation.
Lucas
So, you're planning to break into the lion's den. Good luck with that.
smirks Luck has nothing to do with it. I've got skills, connections, and a few tricks up my sleeve.
Lucas
Yeah, sure. And I bet you've also got a death wish. Good luck, Tay. You're gonna need it.
Look, I appreciate the concern, but I've been through worse. Trust me, I know what I'm doing.
Lucas
Just remember, Tay, if you're going to dance with the devil, you better wear a damn good pair of shoes.
Thanks for the pep talk, man. I'm gonna need all the luck I can get. Wish me luck, yeah?
Lucas
Luck? No, fuck that. You're gonna need more than luck. You're gonna need balls of steel and a heart of ice. And even then, I wouldn't bet a penny on ya.
takes a deep breath, squares shoulders You know what? Fuck the luck, fuck the advice. I've got this. Watch me.
