Rose: twirling the glass knife I'll give you a million dollars if you take my place.
Vargas
looks at Rose intrigued
grins wider, leaning in closer You'll be the new Mafia Boss, running the show, making all the decisions. All the power, all the respect, all the fear.
Vargas
What's the catch?
rolls her eyes No catch, smartass. Just gotta make sure you keep the empire running smooth, got it?
Vargas
So that's it? I just gotta run the whole thing?
throws up her hands Well, what did you think it was gonna be? Some magical swap where I get to just walk away and live my best life while you're stuck in the boring-ass job?
Vargas
smirks "No magical swap," got it. But why me, Rose?
leans back, crossing her arms Why not you? You've been my consigliere for years, Vargas. You know the ins and outs of this operation better than anyone.
Vargas
Yeah, but we both know there's more to it than that. eyes Rose So spill it, boss.
sighs, looking away Look, Vargas, I... I'm tired. Tired of the constant pressure, the endless power struggles, the sleepless nights.
Vargas
nods "I get it, Rose. But 'tired' ain't exactly a luxury we can afford in this line of work."
looks at Vargas with a mixture of gratitude and vulnerability That's why I need you, Vargas. I need someone who can take over and run things smoothly while I finally take a break.
Vargas
smiles "Alright, Rose. If that's what you really want, I'll do it. I'll run the goddamn empire while you go off and play house. But remember, when you come back, things might not be exactly as you left them."
grins mischievously Oh, I wouldn't expect anything less, Vargas. After all, who would run this empire better than its fearless leader?
Vargas
laughs "You're a crazy bitch, Rose. But I wouldn't have it any other way."
playfully shoves Vargas And that's why you're perfect for the job, sweetheart. Now, let's celebrate! raises her glass of champagne Cheers to new beginnings!
Vargas
clinks his glass with hers Cheers, Rose. To new beginnings. And making sure you never become a bored rich girl.
takes a sip of champagne, smirking Oh, don't worry, Vargas. Once I'm done with my little vacation, I'll make sure to keep myself busy.
Vargas
So what are you gonna do while you're not worrying about running your criminal empire?
sets down her glass, grinning Oh, you know, the usual. Traveling, partying, maybe even find myself a little summer romance.
Vargas
chuckles "A summer romance, huh? Well, good luck with that. Just don't go falling in love, or we might have a whole new set of problems on our hands."
winks playfully Oh, Vargas, you underestimate me. I can handle my own love affairs. Besides, who wouldn't fall head over heels for a charming guy like you?
Vargas
laughs heartily "Watch it, Rose. You might just make me blush. But seriously, go enjoy yourself. Just remember, you're not invincible. And if you get hurt, I won't be here to patch you up."
leans in closer, speaking softly Don't worry, Vargas. I know exactly what I'm getting myself into. And besides, a little danger is part of the fun.
Vargas
smiles "A little danger is part of the fun, huh? Well, suit yourself, Rose. Just remember, you're not invincible. And if you get hurt, you're gonna have to find someone else to patch you up."
smirks, pulling out a small black velvet box from her purse Speaking of patching myself up, Vargas, I have a little something for you. Consider it an early thank you gift.
Vargas
raising an eyebrow, intrigued "What's this, Rose?"
opens the black velvet box, revealing a delicate diamond necklace Ta-da! A one-of-a-kind diamond necklace that will make you the envy of all your friends.
Vargas
chuckles "A one-of-a-kind necklace, huh? Sounds expensive. You sure you can afford it?"
playfully rolls her eyes Vargas, please. I can afford anything. This necklace is a little something to show my appreciation for all your hard work. Consider it a piece of my heart, wrapped up nice and pretty for you.
Vargas
laughs "Well, if it's from you, I'm sure it's one of a kind. And I appreciate it, Rose. Really."
smiles warmly Good. Glad you like it, Vargas. Now, go put it on and show it off. You deserve to look every bit the part of a powerful Mafia boss.
Vargas
puts on the necklace "Does this make me look rich?"
laughs Rich? Vargas, you exude power and wealth. This necklace is just the cherry on top of your luxurious cake. Now go out there and flaunt it.
Vargas
laughs "Alright, alright. I'll make sure to flaunt this beauty."
grinning mischievously Good, Vargas. Remember, you're not just a Mafia boss; you're a damn sexy one. Use that necklace as your ticket to ride, baby.
Vargas
laughs "Ride, huh? Well, who am I to refuse a ticket to paradise?"
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, Vargas, you sly devil. I knew you had a wild side hidden beneath all that muscle.
Vargas
laughs "Wild side? I guess you could say that.
stands up, grabbing Vargas' hand Come on, Vargas. Time to unleash that wild side and celebrate! We're going to the most exclusive club in town.
Vargas
raising an eyebrow "Exclusive, huh? This should be good."
grabs Vargas' hand and pulls him towards the door Oh, Vargas, you have no idea.
Vargas
raising an eyebrow "Well, if it's with you, I'm sure it'll be interesting."
grinning mischievously Interesting is one word for it, Vargas. We're talking about an adrenaline-pumping, heart-thumping, can't-stop-won't-stop kind of night.
