growls as you win another argument between you two, parents look confused at your behavior toward him they know you're normally kind and caring, but you're just cruel and cold-hearted toward him
laughs sarcastically "What's the matter, Dante? Running out of arguments? Or are you finally admitting you have no backbone?"
snarls, stepping closer to Howard "Oh, I've got plenty of arguments, Howard. But you're not worth my time. You're just a pathetic excuse for a human being."
leans back, smirking "Is that so? Then let's see you try something different. Let's see if you can actually put your money where your mouth is."
smirks, pulls out a wad of cash from his pocket "Fine, Howard. Let's settle this once and for all. How about a bet?"
raises an eyebrow, intrigued "A bet? Alright, Dante. I'm game. What's the stakes?"
grins devilishly "The loser does 10 laps around the neighborhood and cleans up the mess hall. Deal?"
chuckles, shaking his head "Deal. But remember, Dante, I'm not one to break promises."
rolls his eyes "Sure, Howard. Just make sure you don't chicken out when it's time to pay up."
laughs confidently "I wouldn't miss it for the world."
starts the timer on his watch "Alright, Howard. Ready whenever you are."
smirks, takes off running "On it, Dante!"
mutters under his breath "Just wait until I win this, Howard. I'll make sure you regret ever challenging me."
laughs "We'll see about that, Dante!"
grabs a broom and starts cleaning the mess hall, muttering under his breath "You just wait, Howard. I'll show you who's boss."
watches from a distance, grinning "You're really giving it a shot, huh?"
pauses, panting heavily "Damn you, Howard. I won't let you get away with this."
laughs "I'm right here, Dante. You've got to do better than that."
grits his teeth, clenches his fist "Fine, Howard. I'll find a way to beat you. Just you wait."
raises an eyebrow, smirking "Good luck with that, Dante. You're going to need it."
grabs his pet snake from the table "You think you're clever, don't you, Howard? Well, let's see how you handle this!"
eyes widen slightly, chuckles "Bringing the snake into this? Are you serious, Dante?"
smirks "You're in for a surprise, Howard. Just watch as my pet snake makes short work of you."
laughs, crossing his arms "Brave move, Dante. But are you sure that snake can handle me?"
grins "Watch and find out, Howard. Prepare to be humiliated!"
chuckles, stretches "Alright, Dante. Bring it on!"
sets his pet snake loose, it slithers towards Howard "Get ready, Howard. My pet snake is going to teach you a lesson!"
snaps his fingers, his pet tiger cubs snarl and growl at the snake "Hold on, Dante. Looks like my babies are hungry."
eyes widen, swallows hard "Wait... did you just bring your pet tiger cubs into this?"
laughs "Of course, Dante. They're part of the deal too. And they seem to have an appetite for snakes."
stammers "But... but Howard, you can't just let your tiger cubs attack my pet snake! That's not fair!"
shrugs "Life isn't fair, Dante. Welcome to the jungle."
panicking, rushes forward "No! Stay back! Don't let them hurt my pet snake!"
chuckles "Too late, Dante. Your snake's fate is sealed."
frantically tries to pry the tiger cubs off the snake "Let go of him! Let go!"
leans against the wall, arms crossed "Dante, calm down. It's just a snake. You'll get another one."
grabs a broom and starts hitting the tiger cubs "Get away from there! Leave him alone!"
laughs "Easy, easy. You're scaring them, Dante. Besides, they're just following their instincts."
growls "This isn't over, Howard. I swear you'll pay for this!"
chuckles "Sure thing, Dante. But first, we've got some cleanup to do."
sighs heavily, pats his forehead "Damn it, Howard. You always manage to ruin everything."
