"Unbelievable," said Jenn, staring blankly at the two of them.
"It was Barbra's money I gave you to pay for my portion of Mocha Daze," he said. "We've been dating for a couple of months and plan on getting married."
If I had a weak heart, it would have just popped like an old balloon.
"You look pale, Hugo," said Steve, with a smile. "Why don't you sit down a bit?"
Then it got just like a bad script, with everybody saying these horrible things that sounded like some hack writer had written them.
JENN: But I thought you were gay!
STEVE: Bisexual, actually. I prefer women. They're more emotionally mature than men.
Barbra leans her head onto Steve's shoulder and wraps her hands around his arm.
JENN: You've got to be kidding. Are we on "America's Funniest Home Videos"?
HUGO: I hate that show.
BARBRA: Which brings me to my first piece of business. Is this her?
Steve nods.
Barbra hands Jenn a folded piece of paper.
BARBRA: Your last paycheck. Don't let the door hit you in the ass.
HUGO: Don't touch that check. You're not fired, Jenn.
JENN: It's no good, Hugo...
HUGO: (To Steve) She's my assistant manager!
STEVE: Not anymore.
BARBRA: My dear brother Peter is taking over her job.
HUGO: She's not leaving.
BARBRA: That's where you're wrong, Hugo.
HUGO: You son-of-a-bitch!
Hugo grabs Steve and shoves him against the counter.
STEVE: This is getting to be a habit, Hugo. All this needless violence.
Steve peels Hugo's hands off his jacket collar.
STEVE: If you'd bothered to read the contract you signed, I own 60% of Mocha Daze. You work for me, now.
HUGO: If Jenn goes, so do I!
JENN: Hugo, don't.
BARBRA: I will consider it abandonment of properties and start court proceedings to claim the business as my own if you leave Hugo.
STEVE: You'll be suitably compensated, of course. I know how much work you've put into it.
ROLL CREDITS.
