Part 3/10:
Through interactions laden with tension and humor, Michael reveals his financial worries—debts, mortgages, and the pressure to provide for his partner, Ronnie. The dialogue oscillates between levity and seriousness, revealing his internal conflict as he grapples with the ramifications of his choices. The use of metaphorical language, such as “flap those wings,” symbolizes both his desire to break free from financial constraints and the naïveté of his ambitions.
