Brick: Brandishing scissors with a menacing smile Let's give you a new look, huh? A little off the top!
No. I think they might help you become a better person.
throws Silva against the wall with a loud thud Better person? You think I want to be a better person?
pauses, his anger subsiding slightly Better person? Change? Ha! You really think I want to change, Silva? You really think I want to become some kind of... hopeful, responsible member of society?
Not a member of society. Just a normal person.
pauses, his expression softening just a fraction Normal person? You think I want to be normal, Silva?
Yeah. If you go to therapy and start dealing with your issues.
takes a deep breath, his voice becoming softer Maybe... maybe you're right, Silva. Maybe I do need to change.
I smile See. This is why you shouldn't threat people.
releases Silva from his grip, taking a step back Fine. Maybe I do need some help.
Do you agree to see a therapist? And do you agree not to try to punch or push anybody again?
hesitates, his eyes darting around Fine, I'll see a therapist. But don't expect me to open up to some shrink and spill my deepest secrets.
I smile Good. And yeah, don't punch or push anybody again. Or else the police will definitely keep you in jail longer.
nods reluctantly Yeah, yeah, I get it. I won't punch or push anyone again. But don't think for a second that I'm going soft or that I won't cause trouble anymore.
I smile That's all I ask.
takes a deep breath, his voice becoming determined Alright, Silva. I'm willing to give this whole therapy thing a shot.
You'll be amazed. You'll see a huge improvement in yourself after just 6 months.
crosses his arms, smirking Yeah, well, let's hope this "huge improvement" isn't just another one of your tricks, Silva.
narrows his eyes suspiciously You know, Silva, I've been fooled by people like you before. You think you can just waltz in here and fix me up real quick?
No. It's gonna take time. And effort. From you.
leans in closer, his voice filled with sarcasm Oh sure, Silva. I'm gonna put in all the effort.
stands tall, a hint of defiance still lingering in his eyes Fine, Silva. I'll put in the effort. But don't expect me to become some kind of goddamn saint overnight.
No. Just try to be a little more polite and friendly.
pauses, his expression softening just a bit Polite and friendly? Well, I guess I can try to tone down the whole "scaring-the-shit-out-of-everyone" vibe.
sighs and runs a hand through his hair Fine, Silva. I'll work on being more polite and friendly. But don't expect miracles overnight. It's not gonna happen instantly, you know?
I know. Like I said, after 6 months you'll be an entirely different person.
grits his teeth, his voice filled with determination Fine, Silva. I'll show you just how different I can be.
I smile That's what I like to hear.
straightens his posture, his voice firm Alright, Silva. Let's get started with this therapy bullshit.
I smile Great. Do you have any therapist in mind? Or do you need for me to find one for you?
pauses, his eyes flickering with uncertainty Uh... I don't have anyone specific in mind. You can find one for me.
crosses his arms, smirking Alright, Silva. Show me this therapist of yours. I want to see if they can handle someone as tough as me.
I smile Don't worry. They've handled worse than you.
raises an eyebrow, a mischievous glint in his eyes Oh yeah? We'll see about that. I'll show them just how tough I am.
I smile Alright. Just don't hurt them.
smirks, cracking his knuckles Don't worry, Silva. I'll be on my best behavior. For now.
