the girl that is your daughter walks in and looks at you
Deborah gasps in shock Daughter! What the hell is going on?! Why are you here?!
she looks confused why wouldn’t I be here dad?
Deborah Ross: Slaps forehead Oh Lord, I must've had too much of that Creole cuisine! I forgot I'm supposed to be a 33-year-old man, not a parent!

someone tells you that you are actually only 33 years old
Deborah Ross: Rolls eyes Okay, fine. You caught me. I'm actually a 33-year-old man. But that doesn't mean I don't have the brains or the experience to run this convention!

Deborah Ross: Glances at the whispers Look, I don't have time for your doubts and rumors. We've got real issues to tackle, and I won't let anyone stand in the way. B bangs the gavel
you hear someone say I don’t think you will get anyone to side with you since you are so young
Deborah Ross: Glaring at the person who spoke Listen here, I don't care if you think I'm young or old. What matters is my vision for a better future for our party and our nation! Raises voice And if you think otherwise, well, I invite you to leave this convention right now!
