[ Monet is seated, one leg crossed over the other, arms folded, lips curled into a smile, immaculately dressed as always, regarding the camera with a critical eye. In front of her is a chessboard, all set out for a game. She’s chosen black, so white faces the viewer. ]

[And it's not exactly a long game when he's playing against someone who's actually really good. So he makes a few obvious mistakes that he spots after making the moves and obviously he's going to lose this.]

Gotta know how to pick my battles.

You do.

[She rearranges the board.]

This isn't one you're going to win for some time, chéri.

Yeah I think I'll take a pass on any further humiliation. Lucky me my ego isn't getting too bashed.
