Ume: With everything you’ve done? Did you really think that I would let you get away that easily?
Sirius: [sighs] You know, I was really hoping that you just might.
Ume: Sorry to disappoint you.
Sirius: I’m disappointed I have to break my promise to her.
Ume: I’m sure she’ll get over it once she sees you for what you really are.
Sirius: [chuckles] It must be nice to still be so naive about the world.
Altair: Come on, come on, come on. Shittake. Where in Berry’s name did they run off to?
Ume: Did he really run all the way out here? Geeze that Altair. I’ll be lucky if he didn’t get away.
[rustlng]
Ume: Stay where you are.
Sirius: You’re quite persistent, aren’t you?
Ume: I’m sorry, Altair. I don’t have time for this right now. Someone get her!
Lupin: I’m really sorry about this ma’am, but you have to come with me.
Altair: Like hell, I’m going anywhere with you guys. Get out of my way.
Lupin: I’m afraid I can’t do that. We have to keep you safe.
Altair: Hey! What do you think you’re doing? LET GO OF ME! [starts pounding on Lupin’s back]
Lupin: Ow. Cut it out already, would you?
Altair: PUT ME DOWN!
Altair: What in berries name do you think you’re doing?
Ume: I’m stopping you from making the biggest mistake of your life.
[echoing slap]
Altair: Mistake? Who are you to judge the decisions that I make?
Ume: You just have to trust me on this Altair. He’s not who he says he is.
Altair: Who exactly would that be?
Altair: Sirius… you need to get out of here.
Sirius: I can’t just leave you.
Altair: You have to. I’ll find you… I promise. What does any of this matter if they get you? Just get out of here.
I wish I could take this whole day back.
Maybe then…you’d still be here
Maybe then… I wouldn’t be stucking missing you…
Maybe then.. I wouldn’t be hating myself for the choice I made.
[doors creaking]
Ume: STOP!
[crowd gasping]
Ume: Altair. I can’t let you go through with this.
Ume: Y-you. Do you really think telling me that will help your case at all? If anything now I have more reason to not cut you a deal.
Valerian: You’ve done the investigation. You should already know, I may be the man behind the curtain, but I’m not the one who pulls the trigger. I assure you, if you want to keep Altair and Provence safe like you claim, you’ll want to know who they are.
Ume: Then tell me, who are they?
Valerian: Does the name Sirius Blossite mean anything to you?
Ume: Sirius… like the Sirius that Altair is supposed to marry tomorrow?
Valerian: You better hurry then.
[door slams]
Valerian: [leans back in chair] That was easier than I thought it would be.
Valerian: You shouldn’t be so hasty to assume you don’t want what I have to offer.
Ume: Please. There’s nothing you can give me that would make worth risking you being out there to hurt Altair and Provence again.
Valerian: Not even if I could give you the person who murdered your mother?
Ume: [choked noise] …
Valerian: That got your attention.
Ume: [quiet] My mother was her own murderer. Nice try though.
Valerian: It was just made to look that way.
Ume: Look, even if that’s true. What proof do you have?
Valerian: I paid for it to happen.
Ume: I’m going to be straight with you now, even though I agreed to this meeting, I have absolutely no intention of accepting any bargain you try to make with me.
Valerian: Why are you here then?
Ume: I’m not going to lie. Hearing you beg for mercy is satisfying after everything you put us all through.
