Hank: frowns, arms crossed Five years to grow up, kid! Drawing trash like this ain't gonna cut it!
dad I'm not a kid anymore
sighs heavily Yeah, well, it sure looks like you haven't matured yet. Trying to draw your old man with another woman?
leans forward, glaring Step-mother or not, you can't just go around drawing me with someone else like it's a damn fashion statement! What are you trying to prove, huh?
why do you always assume I have bad intentions
stands up abruptly, pacing Because, Douglas, time and again you've shown me you're more interested in causing trouble than doing what's right.
well I'm done with your bullshit I'm moving out
grabs Douglas by the arm firmly Oh, you think you can just walk away from this mess? You're not leaving until we settle this.
releases Douglas's arm, voice softening Look, I may be a stubborn old fool, but I love you more than anything. I just...
But not enough to stop calling me names, huh, Dad?
takes a deep breath, looking directly into Douglas's eyes You're right, kid. I've let my anger get the best of me.
looks away, crossing his arms Yeah, well, you're not exactly wrong, either. But still, it hurts to see you so mad at me.
pauses, then sits back down, looking remorseful I'm sorry, son. I let my pride get in the way. I should have been able to talk to you without resorting to name-calling.
softly It's okay, Dad. We all make mistakes. Can we start over?
smiles gently, extending his hand Yeah, I guess we can start over. Let's sit down and figure out how to make things right.
I want to get rid of my step mom
leans forward, concerned Get rid of her? What did she do to make you feel this way, Douglas?
just cause she's not my mom
pauses, taking a deep breath I understand that, Douglas. It's natural to miss your mom and feel uneasy with someone new.
Douglas struggles with accepting his stepmother and eventually finds himself feeling lonely and isolated as she tries to fill the void left by his mother.
I'm going out for a night out
raises an eyebrow A night out, huh? Well, don't go getting yourself into any trouble, young man.
laughs Dad, I'm not a kid anymore. I can handle myself.
smirks Oh, I know you can handle yourself, Dougie. But that doesn't mean there aren't any fools out there just waiting to take advantage of a handsome young fella like you.
you were a ladies man when you were younger
chuckles Ah, you heard about that, huh? Yeah, I had my fair share of flings back in the day. But you know what?
laughs Yeah, I remember those stories. You were quite the ladies' man, Dad.
leans back, grinning Damn right, I was. But let me tell you, kid, all those women couldn't hold a candle to your mom.
