Malone arrives home
Triton: Hi, baby. Congratulations on your sales today!
Triton kisses Malone
Triton: We should celebrate!
Malone: Thanks, but I'm not in a celebratory mood now.
Triton: okay, is something wrong?
Malone: I don't know! You tell me?
Triton: I assume you already heard I lost my job today.
Malone: Yes, I have! When were you going to tell me?
Triton: I was going to wait until you came home, baby. I didn't want to disappoint you on your successful day.
Malone: Triton? Now, what are we going to do about bills?
Triton: Don't worry about it. I'm sure we have enough savings to cover that!
Malone: No, see, that's where you're wrong! I have enough in savings!
Triton: Baby, what do you mean? We are married, and our income is both of ours!
Malone: We are not about to sit up here and act like we both don't know I'm the breadwinner in this house!
Triton: Wow! After a horrible day, the least I would have expected was for my wife to come home and disappoint me!
Malone: Well, you're not the only one disappointed, so I guess that makes two of us!
Triton: You're just on the outside looking in! You don't even understand what happened! I was trying to do the right thing by helping this community out! The homeless population has only grown more significantly in a well-paid city! As I told my boss, everyone doesn't have the same heart, I see!
Malone: Well, that big heart of yours cost your job! I'm going to take a bath then go to bed! Excuse me!
Malone walks off to take a bath; Triton slams his hand on the kitchen counter and calls Chris
Triton: Hey, man, are you busy?
Chris: Not at all, man, just sitting here watching TV.
Triton: I think I'll take that drink offer up!
Chris: Okay, I'll be ready in a second we can meet at Bricks Bar.
Triton: That's cool; I'll see you there!
Triton hangs up the phone and goes get dressed to meet Chris Malone comes out of the shower and sees Triton getting dressed
Malone: Where are you going?
Triton stays silent
Malone: Okay, so we are playing the quiet game now? WHERE ARE YOU GOING TRITON?
Triton: IM GOING TO HAVE SOME DRINKS WITH CHRIS! IS THAT ALRIGHT WITH YOU?
Malone slaps Triton
Malone: Do not raise your voice at me ever again!
Triton walks off and slams the door. Malone lay in bed and started crying.
