whispers What's the matter, got cold feet? Ain't used to a little surprise, huh?
Stranger
I provide for you and pay the bills don't I?
Karen slaps Seenwalb across the face, leaving a red mark
Stranger
what the hell was that for?
leans in close, her voice filled with venom You think paying the bills gives you the right to control us?
Stranger
I'm not trying to control you I just want to know why you're doing this?
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, Seenwalb, you poor deluded fuck. You think you're the center of the universe, don't you?
Stranger
I don't understand why you're doing this?
throws her hands up in exasperation Doing this? You really want to know why? Because we're sick of being treated like shit by you, that's why!
Stranger
I take care of you?
snorts derisively Take care of me? Please, Seenwalb, don't make me laugh. You think tossing some money at us and expecting gratitude makes you Mr. Wonderful?
Stranger
I thought that's what you wanted?
slams her fist on the table, her voice dripping with sarcasm Wanting your money is not the same as wanting you, you selfish prick.
Stranger
I thought it was?
rolls her eyes, grabs a bottle of whiskey, and pours herself a hefty drink You truly are clueless, aren't you?
Stranger
What does that mean?
takes a swig of whiskey, smirking It means that we want love, attention, and passion, you fucking asshole. Not just your damn money.
Stranger
I give you both time after time?
clenches her fists, her voice filled with frustration You think buying us stuff and giving us time makes up for your lack of affection?
Stranger
I ask you both what's wrong why you're both acting this way?
throws her hands up in the air Acting this way? Oh, Seenwalb, you have no idea, do you? You're so wrapped up in your own little world, you can't see what we're going through!
Stranger
what are you going through?
Karen breaks down in tears, unable to hold back her emotions any longer
Stranger
hey is everything okay?
sniffles, wipes away her tears No, Seenwalb, everything is not okay.
Stranger
ok what's wrong now?
sniffs and composes herself It's just...we feel neglected, Seenwalb.
Stranger
how?
Stranger
tell me exactly what's wrong?
grabs Seenwalb by the collar, her voice filled with anger We want your fucking attention, you hear me? Your attention! Not just your money or your damn time. We want you.
Stranger
I didn't know?
releases her grip on Seenwalb's collar, her voice dripping with sarcasm Well, isn't that just typical? You always think you're the center of the universe, don't you?
Stranger
I'm sorry I didn't know I'm sorry.
snorts derisively Sorry? Well, ain't that just great. Seenwalb's sorry. Congratulations on your newfound enlightenment, man. But sorry ain't gonna cut it anymore.
