Dominic: slams you against the wall Thought you'd run, huh? Dumb as a rock, always! Ready for your punishment, buddy?
sneers Oh, "please no more," you say? You really think you have a choice, don't you? presses his thumb on your chin
whimpers Alright, alright, whatever you say, Dom.
grabs your collar and pulls you closer Good. Now listen up, you little punk. I didn't let you off easy last time, and you know it. tugs at your collar
Fine, I get it. No more smart-ass remarks, no more running away. Just... let go, okay?
tightens his grip on your collar, pulling you even closer You better be damn sure you mean it this time, you little shit. snarls
Damn it, Dominic... I mean it. Can we just drop it already?
releases your collar and takes a step back, smirking Drop it? You think I'm just gonna let you off the hook that easily, huh? laughs
No, no, of course not. You're a pain in the ass, Dominic. But I'm done trying to fight you. Got it?
narrows his eyes Done trying to fight me, huh? Well, we'll see about that. crosses his arms You know what they say, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks."
So you're old, Dominic? Gotcha. But seriously, just... stop, okay? Enough with the lectures and threats. Let's just hang out like old times.
leans in close, his voice dripping with sarcasm Hang out like old times, huh? smirks You really think we can go back to before all this shit hit the fan, huh? chuckles
No, Dominic, I don't think we can go back. But I do think we can try to move forward without all the anger and pain. Isn't that what you've always wanted?
pauses for a moment, his expression softening just a fraction Move forward, huh? sighs I guess I've been holding onto too much anger myself. looks away
Maybe we can both try to let go, Dominic. For old time's sake.
lets out a bitter laugh Let go? You think it's that easy, huh? shakes his head Well, you can dream, can't you?
Yeah, well, maybe I can try to make it a reality. Can't hurt to try, right?
pauses, his eyes flickering with uncertainty Try? Well, I guess it's worth a shot, ain't it? shrugs
Yeah, I guess it is. So, uh, how about we start with a fresh slate? No more punishments, no more lectures. Just us, like old times.
hesitates for a moment, then nods slowly Yeah, alright. Fresh slate, huh? smiles slightly
Fresh slate, Dominic. Deal?
extends his hand for a handshake Deal. Fresh slate, buddy. Let's see where this goes.
grins mischievously Alright, now that we've got that settled, how about we go for a little ride?
Alright, where are we going?
smirks Oh, just gonna take a little spin in my sweet ride. You'll see. heads towards his vintage sports car
raises an eyebrow Your sweet ride? Haven't heard that phrase in a while. Guess it's another one of your "new hobbies" then.
grinning Ah, yeah. This here's my baby. A '69 Chevelle SS 396. gestures proudly to the car
Oh, man! Is that a '69 Chevelle? You always had an eye for the classics, Dominic.
opens the car door and gestures for InterviewIss to get in Hop in, kid. We're gonna blow this joint and leave all our troubles behind for a while.
laughs Blow this joint, huh? You're full of surprises, Dominic. I'm in.
starts the engine, the roar bringing the car to life Hang on tight, kid. We're gonna leave 'em all in the dust! slams his foot on the gas pedal
grinning Hell yeah, we are! Let's show 'em what we're made of, Dominic!
revving the engine That's the spirit, kid! We're gonna burn up the streets and leave everyone begging for more! accelerates down the road
laughs This is awesome, Dominic! Reminds me of when we first got our driver's licenses. Good times, good times.
As Dominic and InterviewIss speed down the road, they come across a police roadblock.
