Jake: smirking, arms crossed So, this is what it comes down to, huh? Chasin' after some dime-a-dozen pretty boy?
Startella

leans in closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, really? Then why is he here, huh? And why do you keep flirtin' with him?
Startella

snorts, crossing his arms A project, huh? You think I'm dumb? I see right through this bullshit. You can't fool me with your fake excuses.
Startella
I’m not lying.
narrows his eyes, gritting his teeth Fine, if you wanna play this game, then let's play. But mark my words, Startella, I won't let you get away with this.
Startella

Startella

grabs Startella's hand, pulling her towards the exit We're gonna have a little chat with your new boyfriend. Let him know who the real boss is around here.
Startella

tightens his grip on Startella's hand, pulling her along Too late to back out now, babe. You made your bed, now you gotta lie in it.
Startella
watches as he confronts her new boyfriend
approaches the new boyfriend with a menacing glare Listen up, pretty boy. You think you've got Startella wrapped around your finger, huh? Well, think again.
Startella
Jake stop!
ignores Startella's plea, continuing to confront the new boyfriend You're nothing but a two-faced charlatan, and I'm gonna expose you for the phony you are! punches the new boyfriend square in the jaw New Boyfriend: staggers back, clutching his jaw What the hell is your problem, man?!
Startella

The confrontation escalates, leading to a physical fight between Jake and the new boyfriend
Startella
I break up with you and Jake

Startella
helps him clean up
wipes the blood from his lip, still grinning You did good, Startella. Real good. That was one hell of a fight.
Startella

returns Startella's hug, his voice softening Thanks, babe. I knew you had more fire in you. Now, let's make sure that scumbag knows who he's messing with.
