LOVER -
act one chapter seventeen

charles is not the favorite:

ARTHUR:
charles leclerc.

CHARLES:
technically
that's not my name

ARTHUR:
stop talking.
how dare you.
have a date with iris,
and not tell us.

LORENZO:
what.

CHARLES:
#falsenews

ARTHUR:
don't use hashtags
they don't look good on you
only me.

LORENZO:
he's very defensive about his #'s

ARTHUR:
i can't believe you wouldn't tell us.
i'm disappointed, we are your brothers

CHARLES:
sadly
how do you even know

LORENZO:
so you're not denying it...

CHARLES:
no point in denying
the truth

ARTHUR:
i overheard george
telling carmen
that you brought his silence
on your ice cream date

CHARLES:
why were you stalking george
and eavesdropping

ARTHUR:
i don't have to explain myself
to you

CHARLES:
well then
neither do i

LORENZO:
he was getting george
to sign his f1 2022 drivers
picture

ARTHUR:
YOU SAID YOU
WOULDN'T TELL HIM

CHARLES:
sorry.
you got him to sign your what?

ARTHUR:
my 2022 drivers picture

LORENZO:
it's quite impressive tbh
he's been doing it since 2018

ARTHUR:
will you shut up
#bullying

CHARLES:
it's 100% deserved
how do you get my signature?

ARTHUR:
from the back of your bank card
i traced over it once
and then i just make it in to a
sticker each year and stick it on

CHARLES:
this is why you were
never allowed in my room

ARTHUR:
can we get back on topic please
apparently you walked out on iris

LORENZO:
how
and why

CHARLES:
i did no such thing

ARTHUR:
is your name charles?
or is it actually LIAR.

LORENZO:
...

CHARLES:
well i did walk out
but within good reasoning

LORENZO:
yeah it better be
good reasoning

ARTHUR:
yeah
or me and lorenzo
are going to beat you up

LORENZO:
*lorenzo and i

ARTHUR:
shut up

CHARLES:
i cannot be with iris
and iris cannot be with me
there's better people out there for her
that's why i left

ARTHUR:
because you're an idiot

LORENZO:
god
i have to agree with arthur

CHARLES:
no think about it
i'm me. iris is iris.
formula one driver. singer.
it won't work

ARTHUR:
i hate you so much

LORENZO:
when are you going to stop
being married to f1
you know outside of the luxurious
hotels and meals, fast cars and fireproofs
there's a whole world out there.
filled with sweethearts like iris
who are perfect for you

CHARLES:
but am i really the right person for her?

ARTHUR:
yes

LORENZO:
you won't know if you
keep walking out on her
stop throwing relationships away
because you are worried about your
performance in the sport
iris isn't going to distract you
she'll make you a better driver,
you'll want to win for her
and don't you want her by your side
when you lift the wdc

ARTHUR:
that's wishful thinking lorenzo

CHARLES:
will you be quiet
i'm literally leading the championship

ARTHUR:
you're also
only two rounds in

LORENZO:
i'm not doing this today
