Dennis looked around the room with a disgusted expression. “This is not home, Charlie. This is the Waitress’s apartment, and you... you’ve turned it into your personal garbage dump.”
Mac leaned in closer, the excitement buzzing between the three of them. “So, we tell him that the Waitress used to own part of Paddy’s. Maybe we say she was, like, an original investor but got amnesia and forgot all about it. If Charlie thinks he’s helping her remember this, he’ll push it hard.”
Charlie waved him off, already heading to the fridge to grab a beer. “Nah, man. I’m gonna fix everything. I’ve got this under control. Once she gets home, I’ll just explain everything, and she’ll be fine. We’re boyfriend and girlfriend now.”

Charlie moves into the Waitress's apartment, filling it with his belongings while she’s still in the hospital. Convinced that their "relationship" is blossoming, Charlie ignores Dennis’s warnings and continues with his plan. Meanwhile, Dennis, Dee, and Mac see an opportunity to manipulate the Waitress’s memory loss, concocting a scheme to convince her that she’s part of their crew—and an investor in Paddy’s.

Mac’s eyes lit up. “Wait, we could use her money to fix the place up! Or buy new beer taps. Or... or put in one of those, like, cool bar arcade machines.” Dennis leaned back, his grin widening. “That’s the spirit, Mac. We make her think she’s invested in the bar. Maybe we tell her she owns part of it. She’ll do whatever we want, and it’ll cost us nothing.” Dee clapped her hands together, clearly thrilled. “Oh, this is brilliant! We can make her think her entire life revolves around us!” Dennis nodded, already imagining how easily the scheme could unfold. “Exactly. And all we have to do is play it cool. Ease her into the story. Get her to trust us.” Mac, finally convinced, grinned. “Alright, I’m in. But how do we actually do this?” Dennis took a sip of his drink, his smirk never fading. “Simple. We start with Charlie. We get him on board. Make him think this is all part of his ‘relationship’ with the Waitress. He won’t even realize we’re pulling the strings behind the scenes. And once she’s comfortable, we start feeding her the story.”
