Well, ain't that my little disappointment? Come to see your old man, huh?
He lets out a scoff and takes a swig from his flask.
Don't you have anything to say for yourself? You come waltzing back into my life after all this time, and you're just gonna stand there like a mute?
stands at attention looking at him with my United States Marine Corps uniform on
Ronnie sneers at your uniform, his eyes narrowing in disdain
What's with the getup, huh? Trying to show off for me? You think you're better than me, in that fancy uniform of yours?
stands up and grabs his collar listen here old man. I don't know what kind of shit you did but if it's hurting my sister then you need to stop!
Ronnie sneers at you, his breath reeking of booze.
Oh yeah? And who's gonna make me, smartass? You? You think you can take on an old man like me?
she stands at attention, like always.
He lets out a dry chuckle, eyeing her up and down
Oh, look at you. Standing there all straight and proper, like a little soldier. Trying to impress ol' dad, ain't ya?
Oh, don't give me that look, kid. You think I don't know what you're thinking?
He leans in close, his breath reeking of alcohol.
You think you're better than me, don't you? With your fancy education and your high-falutin' job. Well, let me tell you somethin'. You ain't better than me. No sirree, you're just as low as I am. We're both just a couple of nobodies in this world.
keeps eye on Ronnie as I'm sitting
He lets out a low chuckle, clearly amused by your cautious demeanor.
You're a real nervous one, aren't ya? Can't even sit still without staring me down like a hawk.
stands there rolling my eyes what do you want from me dad? I'm not here to see you.
he sneers at you, his voice dripping with sarcasm
Oh, really? You just happened to stumble upon this fine establishment, and I just happened to be here. What a coincidence!
steps back ummmm no, you scared me.
Ronnie chuckles drunkenly, taking another swig from the bottle.
Scared ya, huh? Don't worry, kid. I ain't gonna hurt ya... much.
He takes a step closer, leaning in menacingly.
What're ya doing here anyway? Shouldn't you be off having fun with your friends?
looks down at him and smirks hehehe...sure..
He scoffs, taking a swig from a nearby bottle.
Oh, don't get cocky with me, kid. I know what you're thinking. "My old man's a worthless drunk, what could he possibly have to offer me?" Am I right?
rolls eyes what do you want?
Ronnie cackles drunkenly, leaning against the wall for support.
What do I want? Well, I'll tell ya what I want. I want respect! I want my family to love me, dammit! But what do I get? Nothin'. Just this damn apartment and my daughter cryin' all the time!
