Dirty Little Secrets (Sims 4 Mini-Series) Mystery/Drama
King Soda for Matthew Lavin
Age: mid 20s
Race: African-American mixed with Caucasian
Voice Range: Mid-Low
Character: I can’t say much about him. He’s quite passive as a person, and is a bit of a pessimist. The world is against him, and that’s just a fact for him. He doesn’t take himself or anyone too seriously, and he doesn’t want any trouble. Or at least he didn’t. After a recent turn of events, he’s turned to drinking as a means to deal with his grief and depression.
(Matthew is clearly grieving. He doesn’t want to talk about it, but he feels like he has to say at least something about Katie. He tries to hide his feelings.)
MATTHEW: Katie was... she was wonderful. I just can’t... (trails off) I’m sorry. I can’t.
PARKER: It’s okay, you don’t have to if you don’t want to.
MATTHEW: I’m sorry. I thought I was over her, but...
MATTHEW: That’s YOUR problem, Jo! (a beat) My problems aren’t yours. I don’t want them to be.
JO: But you want to control my life.
MATTHEW: (scoff) No --
JO: YES! Both you and mom -- you keep --
MATTHEW: What’s MOM got to do with this?
(Matthew has lost hope. He's tired, he just wants this ordeal to be over.)
JO: Flo’s trying to figure out what happened to her.MATTHEW: We already know.
JO: That’s not true.
MATTHEW: Just -- stop. Stop digging. Stop it. Just stop. Stop denying that Lee didn’t do it.
JO: Flo’s not denying that her father kidnapped Katie. She’s just hoping he didn’t.
MATTHEW: There’s no point.
