A Devil in Angel's Clothing/Secret Scene

Secret Scene- Day 26
(The camera transitions to Abraham and Ricky as they open their letters.)

Abraham: I'm glad we're doing this privately. I didn't want to have to share my letter with everyone.

Ricky: Yeah, me neither.

(Abraham opens his letter.)

Abraham: (smiles) It's from my wife, Marjorie.

Ricky: The mysterious wife nobody has heard anything about, except Jasmine that one time you wanted her on your side.

Abraham: And it will stay that way, thank you, Ricky.

Ricky: Well, what does it say?

Abraham: 

"Abraham Joseph Chippendale..."

Ricky: Your middle name is Joseph?

Abraham: Shush. (he continues reading)

"Ever since I first laid eyes on you in that car yard all those years ago, I knew you would be the love of my life. In the twenty-eight years we've been together, I've never known a stronger, more selfless and more confident man than the one who is receiving this letter. Every single day..." (he begins to tear up) "...with you in my life has been a blessing that I will forever be thankful for. Although I look forward to your return more with every passing day, I know you are having a wonderful adventure in the Ivory Coast. My only regret is that I was not able to share the adventure with you, like we've shared everything else in life. I know you will always be confident in every decision you make and do what's best for yourself, and make no apologies for that. The thing I have admired the most about you is that you stand up for the things you do and make no apologies for them, and I expect you'll be the same out here. I know you are looking forward to the game, but please remember that above all else this is an experience. I want you to win as badly as you do, but I would hate for you to be so caught up in the game that you miss out on the adventure. You've never been on an adventure without me before, so make the most of it! I want to hear about everything when you return.

I cannot wait to see you again, my love.

Marjorie Elanor Chippendale."

Abraham: (deep sigh) Oh, boy... I wasn't expecting to get this emotional.

Ricky: Wow. I've never seen you cry before.

Abraham: (chuckles) Yes, and tell anyone you did, and I'll rip your arm right out of its socket.

- That letter from Marjorie was the most beautiful thing I've ever read in my entire life. That woman is the love of my life, and she means the absolute world to me, but nobody knows about her in the game, except when I choose to share that with them. To not be able to tell people how important Marjorie is to me is difficult, but I made the decision before I went out here to let nobody in on my personal life unless it benefited me. I just don't find it necessary as I'm not out here to make friends and form emotional bonds with people. I came out here with one goal and one goal only: to win the million dollars. The heart is man's biggest weakness, and if I ever let my heart take over from my head, my game is ruined. The only reason Ricky is knowing about it is because he's the one I trust the most out here and I need him to have some form of trust in me. Every single thing I do in this game has ulterior strategic motive, and this is no exception. If sharing my letter with Ricky will bring me closer to him, that's what I'll do. I have no fear of judgement from Marjorie. She and I talked before I left, and I told her I would do anything I could to win the game, even exploiting my personal life, if needed. She agreed that's what I had to do and has no qualms with it, so I have no shame in doing it.

(Ricky then opens his letter.)

Ricky: Yes! It's from my sister, Natalie.

"Dear Ricky, I hope you're having an amazing time out there and kicking some ass. I've always looked up to you as my strong big brother. You've never taken crap from anyone, and I know you won't be out there. I've always admired you for that, so go make me proud! I know you're out there for the million and doing whatever it takes, so I don't want you to worry about me or anyone else in the family, because we're all fine, we all miss you, and we're all proud of you. And I know you want the money really bad but if you find a hot guy out there, don't be afraid to have a little fun. You know I would!

Love, your little sister, Nattie."

Abraham: (chuckles) She sounds like quite the character.

Ricky: Yep, that's Nattie. Man, she means a lot to me.

Abraham: I can tell.

Ricky: Also, I didn't cry, and you did, so sucked in. (laughs)

Abraham: You keep quiet about that! (laughs)

- Seeing that letter from Nattie, it was just so... her, I guess. It made me think of how proud she was of me and how she really wanted me to win this thing. Nattie and I share a special bond. I've always looked out for her and she's always looked out for me. She was the first person I came out to, and she was so supportive and protective of me when things went bad. She's gone above and beyond the duties of being a sister and is the best I could have possibly asked for. (giggles) And Nattie, if you think I'm gonna cry over you on TV, you're dreaming.
