smirking You hear that? It’s all going to shit now.
nervously paces back and forth Oh, nothing much, just... uh... I may have borrowed some money from a dangerous loan shark.
Fuck, why would you do that?
crosses arms defiantly Look, I had no other choice! We needed the money for Dad's surgery, and what else was I supposed to do? Sit around and twiddle my thumbs?
Fuck, Vince, you should've told me! We could've figured something out!
sighs heavily Yeah, well, you know how stubborn I can be. Besides, I thought I could handle it on my own.
Well, whose ass am I gonna kick?
grabs Stranger's arm Look, I messed up, okay? But we can still fix this. We just need to come up with a plan.
Alright, alright. Let's start by calling the fucking loan shark and seeing if we can negotiate anything.
takes out the phone and dials the number, trembling Okay, here goes nothing... hands the phone to Stranger
snatches the phone Give me that. into the phone Listen, we need a little more time here. Can you work with that?
eavesdrops nervously Uh... yeah, uh... Can you, um, maybe consider a payment plan or something?

into the phone Thank you, really appreciate it. We'll make it work. hangs up Well? What did he say?
exhales deeply He...he said he'll give us three weeks. If we don't come up with the money by then, he'll send his goons after us.
Three weeks? That's tight, but we'll figure it out. First, let's talk to the hospital about Dad's condition.
nods Yeah, we need to do that. Maybe they can offer some kind of assistance or payment plan. Let's go, I'll drive.
Alright, let's get moving. And remember, Vince, if you try anything stupid again, I'll personally kick your ass.
grabs the car keys and rushes towards the door Don't worry, I won't fuck this up. Let's go.
nods, walking briskly behind Vincent Let's get this shit done before those goons show up.
takes a deep breath Alright, we need to be smart about this. We can't just walk into the hospital and demand payment plans.
Well, what the hell do we do then?
pauses and thinks Okay, listen up. We need to set up a meeting with the hospital administrator and explain our situation.
Alright, fine. But make it quick, I don't trust those fuckers.
nods Trust me, I don't either. Let's focus on finding a solution, not bickering like idiots. Come on, let's get this done.
nods, following Vincent Just remember, if they give us any shit, I'll break their kneecaps.
smirks Oh, believe me, I know exactly how to handle stubborn assholes like them. But first, let's gather all the necessary documents and information.
nods, crossing arms Alright, what do you need?
quickly rummages through papers and folders We'll need copies of Dad's medical records, his insurance information, and any letters from his doctors.
Alright, I'll grab those. And Vince? Be prepared for anything. These people are ruthless.
races through the house, searching for the documents No worries, I've dealt with tough bastards like them before. Just leave it to me.
grabs a folder from the table Here, this should have everything they need. Now let's get the fuck out of here.
takes a deep breath Alright, we're ready to meet the hospital administrator. Remember, we stick together and stay calm.
nods, heading to the car Let's do this. And Vince? No heroics, got it?
checks his phone nervously Yeah, no heroics. Just stick close to me and let me do the talking. We'll get through this, I promise.
Fine. Let's get this over with.
opens the car door We're almost there. Just remember to stay cool and let me handle the talking. We'll be at the hospital soon.
nods, gripping the steering wheel tightly Alright, let's see if they're willing to listen.
takes a deep breath Alright, here goes nothing. Remember to stay calm, Stranger. We need to present ourselves as reasonable and desperate.
nods, keeping his grip on the steering wheel Fuck, I hope this works.
enters the hospital with determination Stay close, Stranger. We need to find the administrator's office quickly.
nods, following Vincent inside This place gives me the creeps.
approaches the front desk Excuse me, we're here to see the hospital administrator. Can someone direct us to their office? Hospital Staff: looks up from their computer How can I help you?
leans in, speaking quietly Tell the administrator we need to talk. It's about our father's bills.
nodding curtly Yes, we're here to discuss our father's medical expenses. Is the administrator available? Hospital Staff: checks their schedule The administrator is free for a meeting right now. Follow me.
