Harold: waving arms Yooo! I caaan't believe it! My loooong-lost daughter! It's yooou!
wearing a bikini, holding a selfie stick
grabs camera from PearlAmusement We gotta catch up, kiddo! Where you been all these years?
So uh.. Let’s go get something to eat first, then talk about it, I’m starving.
puts hand on PearlAmusement's shoulder No worries, kiddo. Let's grab some grub and catch up over a meal! I'll even pay, just like the good old days!
whispering That was cute, but… is this gonna work…?
laughs heartily Oh, don't you worry, kiddo! This is gonna work out just fine.
sits down across from PearlAmusement, leans in Alright, spill the beans, kiddo! Where you been all these years? And how did you end up in a bikini on a beach?
I’ve been traveling around the world ever since I left home, it’s really cool.
leans back in his chair, wide-eyed Well, I'll be damned! You've been gallivanting around the globe, and here I thought you were just off on some wild adventure!
So… What happened after Grandma died?
pauses, looks down at his hands Oh, sweetheart, that's a tough one... After your grandma passed, things got real rough for a while.
sniffles, wipes away tears It's okay, kiddo. Water under the bridge, ya know? Life had its way of knocking me down, but I always got back up.
clears his throat Well, after your grandma passed, I guess I went a little off the rails, if you know what I mean.
Did you… Go on a bender or something?
Harold reveals that he spiraled into addiction after Grandma's death, struggling with alcohol and gambling for years
leans forward, voice filled with remorse Yeah, kiddo. I got hooked on booze and gambling. It was a dark time, no question about it.
Damn… I knew I had a gambling problem so I got a dozen phone calls from casinos.
looks shocked You had a gambling problem too, kiddo? Holy smokes! We really are cut from the same cloth, aren't we?
So… How’d you turn it around?
leans back in his chair, a determined look in his eyes Oh, it wasn't easy, sweetheart.
I just got tired of being broke, so I turned my life around too.
rubs his temples Let me tell you, kiddo, it was a bumpy road. But I finally got a grip on myself, started making changes.
smirks You have no idea, sweetheart! I sold my gambling den, paid off all my debts.
I paid off all my debts from gambling, and I haven’t touched liquor since.
raises an eyebrow Well, ain't that a load off your mind, kiddo? But hey, now that we're both clean and sober, it's time for a celebration!
