He: Honey what are we doing here?
Hi: We're getting you a dress for the Open House event...
He: *she wants to discuss but then she sees a dress she likes* Oh my god, this is beautiful! *he laughs*
Hi: I knew you'd like to go shopping...
*thirty minutes later she already tried a lot of dresses and one catches Hiram's attention. She wears a short black dress with a very deep neckline*
Hi: Wow!!!
He: You like it? I think it's a bit too permissive!
Hi: For the event maybe! But not for the after show party!
He: Oh, and where will the after show party be?
Hi: In our bed!
*both laugh and he kisses her*
He: Now, sit down again I needa try the next one!
Hi: But we'll definitely buy this one too!
He: We'll see!
*She comes out with a skinny white dress*
He: I love this one!
Hi: Yeah, it's great!
He: Ok, we'll take it!
Hi: And the black one??
He: Yes ok, we'll take both...
Hi: Amazing! But are you ready to talk to me about Alice now?
He: Is that what all of this is about? You're spoiling me to make me talk?
Hi: No, not really!
*she rolls her eyes and trudges pissed to the cash register*
Hi: I told you I would pay!!
He: Save it!
*The next day is the event and after Hiram met the investors he approaches Alice*
Hi: Alice?
Al: What do you want, Lodge?
Hi: Stay away from my wife!
Al: Oh boy, chill! It's not like she's your property...
Hi: I know you two met several times...
Al: Yeah, maybe, but what is that to you?
Hi: She's my wife!
Al: Yes, but she's a grown up woman and she can meet whoever she wants!
Hi: Listen, Acid Queen! You tried to poisen our relationship once and I won't let that happen again! So keep the fuck away from her...
Al: Why are you freaking out like that, the only reason we met in New York was because she was lonely and had no friends there and we tried to fix our relationship, which was ruined by you!!!
Hi: By me???
Al: Yes damn it, she was such a good friend until you spoiled her!
Hi: Who do you think you are? I didn't spoil her, I offered her the world...
Al: But there's one thing you could never offer her...love! You're just a coldhearted criminal who convinces himself that he could make his wife happy...but in reality she only stays with you because of your money!
*he's furious, but before he could say something Hermione bumps into the two*
He: Hiram, Arthur St.Clair wants to see you! Hi, Alice...
Al: Hermione! *Alice forces a smile*
He: Are you ok?
Hi: Yes, totally!
He: And why does it look like you're going to kill each other???
*Alice raises an eyebrow at Hiram and then she walks over to Hal*
He: Hiram???
