Salem: Puts hand on your shoulder Stop fighting. Let's go home.
no i am going to the store
narrows eyes Look, I don't have time for your games. You're coming with me, whether you like it or not.
Because if you don't, I'll make sure everyone knows about your little secret.
Oh, you think you can play dumb? I know all about the illegal transactions you've been making.
i have proof that they are not illegal
smirks Oh, really? I'd love to see that proof. Hand it over.

raises an eyebrow Interesting. Well, I suppose that could explain the transactions. But remember, just because it's legal doesn't mean it's ethical.
leans in closer Maybe so, but ethics are a different story. Remember, actions have consequences. And I have a feeling your father wouldn't be too pleased if he knew the source of your wealth.
i buy things with the money that he gives me
leans back, smirking Well, that's one way to spend your ill-gotten gains. But remember, luxury comes with a price.
takes out a small recorder You know, it's funny how you think you can just talk your way out of everything.
Just making sure you understand the gravity of the situation. You can't keep pulling the wool over everyone's eyes forever.
