Anthony!, take a good look at yourself gbo!, Can't you find another thing to do if This one isn't working out!, Cleopatra shouted,

Cleo, your talking because you later achieved your dream, you're an Author and a self made singer I also want to be a self-made Actor, Anthony said,

I understand Anthony but you have gone for seventeen auditions and you were not accepted, you can come and work in my agency, Cleopatra suggested,

Cleo!, I want to be self-made, Anthony said,

You know my spotlight started when I was featured in mom's album, Cleopatra remembered,

At least you didn't work in mom's agency, you literally sang!, Anthony shouted,

Anthony but this isn't the life we want you to leave, you going through all this pain alone, just take a look at your apartment, you haven't even paid your bills yet, Cleopatra noticed,

I will pay them once I get a movie deal, Anthony said

Not if your kicked out soon, by the way Dad died, Cleopatra said,

You heard me, Mom wants us to come back and pay our respects, Cleopatra said,
