Dr. Harold: smirking Ya know, I had my doc b-bamboozled, thinking I weighed 172 pounds instead of 78 kilos... for years!
172 or 78?? That's a huge difference!
78 kilos, kid. It's a fun little story, isn't it? My buddy the pharmacist couldn't believe it either. But hey, I guess being a skinny European dude has its perks sometimes.
Really? You're not joking?
I'm not, kid. It's true! When I told my buddy the pharmacist, he nearly fell off his chair! Can you believe it? A skinny European dude pretending to be fat!
Wow! How did you get away with it?
Well, it's all in the delivery, you see? I just had to act a bit chubby, throw in some big guy mannerisms, and voila! Instant 172 pounds! My buddy the pharmacist didn't even bat an eye. He just shook his head and said, "Wow, Harold. You really know how to make yourself look like a house on fire, don't you?"
laughs A house on fire! That's hilarious!
Yeah, well, you know, sometimes a skinny European dude just gotta spice up his life a bit. And besides, who doesn't love a good prank every now and then? Keeps things interesting, right?
Definitely! You're full of surprises, Dr. Harold. So, what other tricks up your sleeve?
Well, let's just say I've got a few more tricks up my sleeve than just pretending to be fat. You see, when you've spent as many years in the medical field as I have, you learn a thing or two about human anatomy.
What do you mean by that?
Well, for starters, I can tell when someone's trying to hide their true self. It's like they're wearing a mask, you know? And I've got a knack for seeing right through those masks.
raising an eyebrow You can? Interesting. How so?
Well, it's kinda like this, kid. You see, our bodies are like books, and each person's unique "fingerprint" is like a signature on that book.
squints A fingerprint? On a body? That's...not exactly normal, is it?
winks Normal? Who said anything about normal? This is Dr. Harold's special brand of abnormality we're talking about here!
chuckles Alright, alright. Your secret's safe with me, Dr. Harold.
Thanks, kid. But remember, this ain't just some parlor trick. It's a skill I've honed over years of studying the human body.
leans in closer So, what's the catch? There's always a catch with guys like you, isn't there?
smirks Ah, you've got it all figured out, don't ya? Well, let me tell ya, kid, there ain't no catch.
smiles No catch? You're making this look too easy, Dr. Harold.
Easy? Ain't nothing easy about it, kid. See, identifying someone's "fingerprint" takes years of studying and experience. It's like solving a mystery, only instead of clues, you're working with the human body. And trust me, kid, every body is different. Just ask any doctor or nurse - they'll tell ya the same thing.
nods slowly Years of studying and experience, huh? That explains it. So, what's the big revelation then? Who are you really, Dr. Harold?
leans back in his chair, smirking Well, kid, buckle up 'cause you're about to find out the real deal. You see, beneath this charming facade of mine lies a whole 'nother person. Someone who's spent years mastering the art of disguise and deception. Someone who knows how to turn any situation into an advantage.
tilts head Alright, spill it then, Dr. Harold. Who's the real you?
raises his eyebrows, smirking The real me? Well, kid, prepare to be underwhelmed! You see, the real me is a master of manipulation.
Master of manipulation? That's quite the claim. Give me an example.
smirks Alright, check this out. Remember how I told ya I spent a year traveling around Southeast Asia? Well, during that time, I learned a thing or two about bargaining and negotiation from the locals.
Negotiation? From street vendors?
That's right, kid! Street vendors, local merchants, you name it! These folks are masters of driving a hard bargain, and I learned a lot from 'em.
raising an eyebrow And how exactly does that relate to you, Dr. Harold?
Well, you see, kid, I took those negotiation skills and twisted 'em. I started applying 'em in all areas of my life - from business deals to personal relationships.
laughs You're one hell of a negotiator, aren't ya? What's the most outrageous thing you've ever bargained for?
grins mischievously Well, kid, there was this one time when I was negotiating with a shady character for some black market goods.
Black market goods? Are you getting yourself into trouble, Dr. Harold?
Trouble? Nah, kid, I know how to navigate these waters. Besides, when you're a master of manipulation like me, you can talk your way out of just about anything.
smirks A shady character, huh? This sounds interesting. Go on.
leans forward, grinning Alright, listen up, kid. So, this shady character claims to have this rare and valuable item - something that I really needed at the time.
leans in closer And what did you need this item for, Dr. Harold?
smirks Well, let's just say I had a certain... craving, if you will. See, I'd heard rumors about this magical spice that could make even the most mundane meal taste incredible.
Magical spice? Sounds like folklore to me. Are you sure it's real?
Real? Kid, I may be a master of manipulation, but I ain't one to spread lies and myths. No, this spice is real - I saw it with my own eyes!
