Over at the car dealership, the Dupain-Chengs watched as Alec finished the car
Sabine: So, how is it, Mr. Cataldi?
Alec: This is bad, Mrs. Dupain-Cheng. What really happened?
Sabine: We don't know. We just walked out of the restaurant & saw those words painted on the car & the broken windows
Alec: I can repair the windows, but the words are permanently on there. I'm afraid I can't get it out.
Tom: Oh my god..
Alec: Do you think your daughter might have done this?
Sabine: What?! Our daughter would never do anything like this! She's an angel!
Marinette sat in the car dealership lobby, tapping her foot on the floor
Marinette: (mind) I don't understand. Who would do this to my car? I'm still new to Paris, so I doubt anyone has a grudge against me.
Just then, she heard her parents enter back inside
Marinette: So, What did he say?
Sabine: He can repair the windows, but the graffiti is permanent.
Marinette: Oh..
Tom: Marinette, do you know anyone who could have done this?
Marinette: I don't know, Dad.
Sabine: You haven't been hurt by any gang members, have you?
Marinette: No, not at all. But I'm going back home. I need to get ready for school tomorrow.
Sabine: Okay. We'll see you back at the house.
Marinette went back towards the house, but then heard her phone ringing
Marinette: Hello?
Rose: Hi, Mari! It's me, Rose!
Marinette: Oh, hi, Rose. What's up?
Rose: What are you doing this afternoon?
Marinette: Well, I'm leaving the car dealership right now.
Rose: The car dealership?
Marinette: Yeah. You saw what happened to my car yesterday on my birthday.
Rose: Oh, yeah. How are the repairs going?
Marinette: The graffiti is permanent, but they're able to fix the car windows. I guess I'll have to pay off the expenses in order to get a new one.
Rose: I'm sorry, Mari. But how are you going to do that?
Marinette: Well, I..
Just then, she saw a hiring poster for a stripper member & she stated quiet
Rose: Uh, Mari? Are you still there?
Marinette: Sorry, I've gotta go.
She hung up the phone & held the poster in her hands
Marinette: It isn't the most innocent job but I have to try something.
She dialed the phone number & answered it
