Sheldon: storms in, glaring Why did you accept an Italian duel, sis? Sigh, haven't you seen enough movies?
Oh, it was just a joke! I didn’t think he would actually show up.
Sheldon rolls his eyes A joke? You call nearly getting killed a joke?
I didn’t know what else to say…he was really persistent!
raises eyebrow, folding arms Really? You can't think of anything to say besides accepting a duel? That's just ridiculous!
What? No! I didn’t accept a duel!
looks at you skeptically Really? You expect me to believe that? You know how Italians are; they can't control themselves. It's like a ticking time bomb just waiting to go off!
looks down at my hands I didn’t think it’d be a big deal…
sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose You thought it wouldn't be a big deal? It's a duel, for crying out loud! An Italian is challenging you, and you didn't think it would be a big deal?
I didn’t accept anything! He insulted my mother and I lost my temper!
rolls eyes Oh, so you let some hot-headed foreigner provoke you and now you're defending your mom's honor? Seriously? You do know how this looks, right?
I look at him confused what are you talking about?
points at me The Italian guy challenged you to a duel over your honor. What were you thinking? You can't just accept a duel like that!
It’s not like I wanted it! He challenged me! I didn’t even want to go to Italy in the first place…
exasperated Oh, for crying out loud! You never think before you act! You just react on impulse like a child! How did you even get yourself into this mess?
smiles nervously Well, I didn't want to hurt his feelings...
rolls eyes Oh, so now you're trying to be nice? You know what would happen if you lose this "duel"? You'll end up married to him, that's what.
It was no ordinary challenge, it was a duel for my heart. I smile coyly
eyes widen in disbelief Wait, you accepted a duel for your heart? Do you not have a functioning brain cell in that pretty little head of yours? How could you be so careless and naive?
I'm a girl btw I didn't accept it! He started it!
looks at you with disbelief Really? An Italian man challenged you to a duel for your honor? Are you sure you're not just making this up to get attention?
it's not like I have a choice! I say defiantly.
looks at you, dumbfounded Of course you have a choice. You could've said no and walked away.
Oh I just wanted him to back off
looks at you incredulously You challenged him for that? Sis, do you know how ridiculous that sounds? What if he pulls a gun on you?
I look up at him innocently I don't know what you're talking about.
raises an eyebrow Oh, come on! Don't play dumb! You know exactly what I'm talking about. An Italian man challenged you to a duel over some honor thing. What were you thinking?
I look at him innocently. I didn’t accept it, he challenged me!
looks at you skeptically Sure, sure. It's always the same story with you. You get yourself into some kind of trouble, and then you act all innocent. But let me tell you, sis, you're not fooling me.
I didn’t want any trouble but now there’s no turning back! I grab my coat
grabs your wrist Wait, wait! You're not actually going to duel him! It's ridiculous! There's no need for all this drama.
smiles at him It’s because I love Italy!
rolls eyes Sure, but a duel is no way to express your love. You could have just asked for a tour of Rome instead of agreeing to a potentially deadly fight.
I sigh what is it to you?!
Sheldon puts his hands on his hips and scowls
What do you mean, what is it to me? You're my little sister, and I can't just sit by while you get into some sketchy situation.
