`Scene 1:` `(Energetic, Cocky-ish, Pitching an idea on the phone.)` ...Don't worry, Mark, I promise, this time it's gonna work. I have a plan, we're gonna be *millionares* `(beat)` Yeah. Yeah I'm sure. `(Eager, Rushing)` No, you gotta get on it NOW, before it gets big, ya know? `(beat, confusion into taken aback)` Mark? Mark, you there? Asshole hung up on me. Can you believe that? He doesn't know what he's missing! `(Offended)` I tell you, people these days are getting so rude, He didn't even stay on long enough for me to tell him the details!

Scene 2: (Coy, Somewhat Nervous, Think of nervous laughter) Loretta, you'd wound me. I'd never. (beat | think of scratching the back of your head kinda nervous, Energetic) Well, yes. But also, this house was a steal. (friendly explanatory tone) Well, apparently it's law that you have to disclose if someone in the house died when you sell it. (beat, playing off Loretta's dialogue) And people think it's bad luck to live somewhere that someone died. The price was rock bottom. (Brushing the death off) It was an accident. Some kid tripped and fell down the stairs or something.- Perfectly innocent. (Taken aback, offended, pleading?) Neither of you appreciate how hard I work! Always assuming the worst. (Presenting tone) Look at this wonderful home I got you! (Cheery, Unknowing) You don't believe in that nonsense, do you, Brian?
