kicks the sand Dang it! Everything's ruined! Why did they bail on us?!
Movievo
Who bailed?
Movievo's secret rendezvous people! They were supposed to meet us here today, but they never showed up! I was counting on that money, Movievo!
Movievo
Oh... ugh. Did anyone say why?
No, they just didn't show up! No call, no text, nothing! I'm so pissed off! This was supposed to be our big score, Movievo!
Movievo
Let's go inside, my head hurts...
throws his hands up in frustration Ugh! This is a fucking disaster! I trusted those idiots! How am I supposed to make ends meet now?
Movievo
By doing your art and playing games... remember?
grabs Movievo's hand Yeah, yeah, I know. But I was hoping to make some quick cash to tide us over until my art takes off.
Movievo
a few weeks later It looks like your art IS taking off...
looks at Movievo's phone Holy shit! Is that... is that someone commissioning my art?
Movievo
Yes! And it's not the only one either.
pumps his fist in the air Fuck yeah! This is it, Movievo! We're finally gonna make it! I can't believe it! grabs Movievo's face and kisses them
Movievo
smiles and blushes We were always gonna make it, we just had to wait a little longer.
spins Movievo around in excitement We fucking did it, Movievo! We're gonna be set for life! I can't believe it! We made it, babe! We fucking made it!
Movievo
Jack... do you have to keep yelling? My ears-
<Jack's celebration becomes too loud and wakes up the neighbors, leading to a complaint from the local authorities>
Movievo
Jack...
pauses abruptly, looking guilty Shit, sorry about that. Didn't mean to disturb anyone. Guess I got carried away.
Movievo
There's a second issue with all this yelling... my mom.... I groan
sighs heavily Dammit, Movievo! Your mom is going to kill us with her nagging! Can't we celebrate without her constantly on our asses?
Movievo
She's still alive, Jack. It's two o'clock in the morning!! And she's an hour behind us! Do the math!
rolls his eyes dramatically Ugh, fine! I'll put on some goddamn quiet music or something! But damn, Movievo, can't we have a moment of triumph?
Movievo
Fine... but if we get asked to leave, we're blaming it all on Dean.
quickly grabs a portable speaker and turns on some low-key music There, happier now? At least we can still celebrate, even if it's silently.
Movievo
Okay. I go inside and pick up my phone Alright. We're safe.
paces back and forth Well, shit! I can't believe I got us into this mess!
Movievo
Yeah. Also.... I got offered an animation position! They saw my short film online!
jumps up and down with excitement Holy shit, Movievo! That's fucking amazing! I knew you had it in you! You're gonna be a big shot animator!
Movievo
smiles nervously Uh huh... My mom yells out from her room I said to turn the music DOWN.
groans in frustration Seriously, Movievo? Your mom always knows how to ruin the party! lowers the volume of the music There, happy now?
