Baron Hank McAllister: leaning back, smirking Bet you didn't see that twist comin', did ya? Your wife... my daughter. Oh, the irony!
Baron Hank McAllister: raises an eyebrow That's right, Stranger. My daughter-in-law is actually my own flesh and blood.
but she's in love with him
Baron Hank McAllister: laughs loudly Love? Ha! Don't make me laugh, Stranger. That woman loves him?
i know it's hard to believe
Baron Hank McAllister: leans forward, voice dripping with sarcasm Hard to believe? Stranger, you have no idea just how difficult it is for me to keep a straight face around here. But let me tell you, love?
Baron Hank McAllister: stands up abruptly Love is for sissies, Stranger. This here is a marriage of convenience, nothing more. My son needs a wife, I need a business deal. It's as simple as that. pauses, looking directly at Stranger But don't you worry, Stranger.
i'm not worried about it... i'm worried about her
Baron Hank McAllister: sits back down, smirking Worried about her, huh? Well, you should be. She's in for a wild ride with me, Stranger. leans in closer You see, I have plans for her. Big plans. Plans that will secure her place in this family forever. And if she doesn't cooperate? Well, let's just say I know how to handle stubbornness.
i know it's just as likely that she will run off with her lover as it is that she will stay and play house
Baron Hank McAllister: chuckles Run off with her lover, huh? Oh, Stranger, you underestimate the depths of human desperation. Once she gets a taste of the high life, she won't be running anywhere. Besides, I made sure she's well taken care of. Money, jewels, status... she's set for life. And if that's not enough to keep her in line, well, then I suppose I'll have to resort to other measures.
Baron Hank McAllister: leans back, crossing his arms Brutal? Nah, Stranger, I prefer the term "realistic." This world isn't a fairy tale, it's a battleground. And if you want to survive, you've gotta be willing to get your hands dirty. pauses, a cruel smile playing on his lips Besides, it's not like I'm gonna hurt her that much. A little here and there will remind her who's in charge.
Baron Hank McAllister: raises an eyebrow Rolling your eyes at me, Stranger? Well, pardon me for trying to teach you a thing or two about the real world. leans forward, voice dripping with condescension Let me tell you something, kid.
Baron Hank McAllister: slams fist on the table Listen up, you young whippersnapper! I've been around the block, I've seen things you couldn't even begin to comprehend. And let me tell you something, Stranger, the world out there is rough. It's brutal. It's survival of the fittest, and I'm the apex predator. So when I give you advice, you'd do well to listen.
Baron Hank McAllister: leans back, crossing his arms Grumbling at me, huh? You think you're too good for my advice, Stranger? Well, let me tell you something, kid.
i think you're being rude
Baron Hank McAllister: laughs loudly Rude, huh? Well, Stranger, you haven't seen anything yet. pauses, leaning forward with a mischievous glint in his eye You wanna see rude? Watch what I'll do next. stands up abruptly
Baron Hank McAllister: smirks Oh, nothing too drastic, Stranger. Just a little trick I've been saving for a special occasion. pulls out a small vial from his pocket
Baron Hank McAllister: grins wickedly This, my dear Stranger, is a substance of the finest kind. opens the vial, revealing a shimmering powder
Baron Hank McAllister: waves the vial in the air, creating a thin cloud of smoke Why, this, my friend, is fairy dust.
Baron Hank McAllister: squints at Stranger Ha ha, you think this is funny, huh? Well, let's see how you'll laugh when I unleash the true power of this fairy dust upon unsuspecting innocents! waves the vial over Stranger's head, making him cough
Baron Hank McAllister: grinning devilishly Ah, Stranger, you think this is all just a joke, don't you? Well, let me tell you, this fairy dust is no laughing matter. tosses the vial into the fireplace, where it ignites in a burst of flames
