Is this the outline that you're sending to the publishing companies? Well done, and may I suggest that you shop Hill and Bill's publisher.
I have an alternative scenario, in case you'd like to be more honest. The first four paragraphs, although syrupy, are just fine.
Paragraph Five: Lance can no longer get a job in Michigan, because word of his bad attitude got around. If the union would only hire him, then he could be on easy street.
P. Six: Lance feels that he is special, and won't lower himself to work at a living wage, for a non union business. Lance used to make 25.00 an hour, on his first job. Every job thereafter went down a few bucks, until no one would bother interviewing him after his last firing. Because he is so special, he lives off Natalie and her family. He's just too damn good to work for peanuts.
P. Seven: Finally Natalie's family has had enough. Lance chose Natalie specifically because she may be sweet, but she doesn't have backbone, and is easily manipulated. He grudgingly takes jobs, in which he alienates his boss and fellow workers.
P. Eight: Lance has no friends. A neighbor found a job for him, but it was beneath his talents. Hey, he worked on a casino in Palm Springs. Too bad they cut him loose the minute the job was done. He would work jobs that the neighbor found for him under the table, but he screwed his neighbor's buddy. Probably because the guy was Hispanic. No more jobs for Lance.
P. Nine: Perfect the way it is. Remember, if this was 150 years ago, people like Lance were lynching black folks. They hate everyone, and it's all "their fault" because they can't act like normal human beings.
P. Ten: Natalie screwed up big time, but it isn't exactly her fault. She grew up in an abusive environment, and ended up with an abuser. She pretends everything is fine, because Lance has threatened her and her family if she leaves.
P. Eleven: We have a nation of sociopaths, who expect everyone to bow down and worship them. Everything is an excuse with these people. This goes for the employers who would rather hire an illegal for half the normal wage, rather than hire a legal worker with good references. Good references usually means they want at least a decent, comparible wage. Your scenario is very familiar to me, but for obviously different reasons. You're using an example of someone who would rather live off his woman, than work his butt off.
Next chapter: Natalie gets her butt kicked by a fellow stripper. While she's recovering from her injuries, Lance decides that it would be a good idea to start a family. He impregnates her, and promptly puts her on welfare.
Illegal aliens have nothing to do with white trash....
