Prompt (original, unmodified)
[Scene 1: Cinematic medium shot, exterior of a snow-covered Victorian mansion at night. @Santa, wearing greasy red overalls and a welding mask, is using a blowtorch on a high-tech metallic red @sleigh. Intense orange sparks spray across the snow. Cinematic lighting, 4k, hyper-realistic. Scene 2: A glamorous blonde woman (@Blondegirl) in a faux-fur coat enters the frame. She reaches out, stroking Santa’s shoulder. Close-up on her face as she speaks with an entitled expression: "Hey Santa! I need a million dollars. Gimme!" (use @speech1 for her voice). Heavy falling snow in the background. Scene 3: Extreme close-up on @Santa. He lifts his welding visor, his face smudged with soot. He turns his head slowly toward the woman, eyes narrowing. He speaks with deep resonance: "It's not even Christmas", use @speech2 for his voice. He lets out a heavy, weary sigh, his expression softening into profound sadness as he asks, "Will you ever change?" Scene 4: Over-the-shoulder (OTS) shot from behind Santa’s broad shoulders, looking at the woman. She remains close, a soft blush creeping onto her cheeks. She slowly shakes her head "no" while maintaining a playful, sly smile. Soft bokeh snowflakes dancing between them. High emotional contrast, dramatic shadows.]
