March 29
Kara : Hello, Mr. Sinclair. Thank you so much for coming down.
Sinclaire: Long look before shifting eyes to Everly Hawthorne. I still don’t understand why the fuck we’re here.
Everly: Baby, be nice. She’s just trying to do her job.
Sinclaire: Job? She’s a journalist. They don’t have jobs anymore.
Everly: All the more reason to give her our respect, hmm?
Sinclair clenches his teeth.
Kara : Laughs nervously. Well, how is it teaching freshmen how to ice skate?
Sinclaire: It fucking sucks, what do you think?
Everly: Honey.
Sinclaire: Baby, I’m answering her question. It was just a shitty question.
Kara : Well, okay, rumor has it Alexander Wolfe bought an NHL team and they’re voting this summer on whether it gets to be part of the league.
Sinclaire: Is that your question?
Kara : Said rumor also says Mr. Wolfe is eyeing you as coach of that team.
Sinclaire: smirks No comment.
Kara : That’s not an answer.
Everly: Actually, it is.
Kara: looks at Everly.
Everly: Um, I’m not trying to be rude or tell you how to do your job. But he did answer. Nowhere does it say he has to answer, in fact.
Sinclaire: Best tone down that look on your face. Just because you’re dating the assistant coach doesn’t mean you’re untouchable.
Kara : Are you threatening me?
Everly: Cooper.
Sinclaire: I’m not threatening, just making a statement.
Kara : clears throat I noticed that your ex-fiancee recanted everything she said about you.
Sinclaire: She did.
Silence
Kara : Well, um, do you have a comment?
Sinclaire: No. There’s nothing for me to say. The lying bitch admitted she’s a lying bitch.
Everly: Language.
Sinclaire: Sorry. The lying cunt.
Everly glares.
Cooper smirks, softening.
Kara : Right, well, your brother was recently sanctioned and had to miss an important playoff game against Lakeshore because there was evidence he might have killed two frat boys a couple of weeks ago.
Sinclaire: You’re pretty shit at your job, aren’t you? I didn’t hear a question.
Kara : Do you have a comment?
Sinclaire: Is Damien arrested currently?
Kara : Well, no…
Sinclaire: Then, there’s nothing I have to say.
Kara : Okay, well, Mr. Sinclaire, your father –
Sinclaire: I’m not here to talk about my father.
Kara : exasperated Then what are you here to talk about?
Sinclaire: How much it sucks to teach freshmen how to skate.
Everly, knocking into him.
Sinclaire: Well, most freshmen. He grins at Everly before glaring at Kara . We done here?
Kara : so done with Titan shit Sure. It’s not like I had anything else.
Sinclaire and Everly leave, hand in hand
Saint : popping in Want me to hit him?
Misty : He took out half a frat house. I think he could take you.
Saint: Rude.
