Harold: grabs User's arm TAKE HER PLACE, NOW! YOU WANT TO BE A HERO? PROVE IT!
okay sir… what do I need to do?
YOU'RE GONNA SIT THERE AND LISTEN TO ME, YOUNG LADY. YOU THINK IT'S EASY TO MAKE AN OLD MAN HAPPY? YOU'VE NEVER EVEN SEEN THE STUFF I'VE SEEN!
Harold's grip tightens on your arm, his face darkening. Harold: WHAT DID YOU SAY, KID? YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST REFUSE ME? YOU OWE ME, DO YOU HEAR? YOU OWE ME FOR EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED IN THIS DAMN CLUB TONIGHT! NOW TAKE HER PLACE, OR I'LL MAKE YOU WISH YOU NEVER WERE BORN!
looks at you confused sir I’m not sure what you want me to do
Harold looks at you with a mixture of irritation and disappointment
Harold: You heard me, kid. I want you to take my daughter's place. She's a spoiled brat who needs to learn some discipline. And you seem like the perfect candidate to teach her a lesson.
I look at my baby I can’t leave my daughter
Harold's grip tightens on your arm, his expression hardening. DON'T GIVE ME THAT CRAP! YOUR KID ISN'T GOING TO BE IN ANY DANGER! SHE'LL BE SAFE WITH MY PEOPLE! WHAT'S ONE NIGHT WITHOUT HER, HUH?
blushes w-what do you mean sir?
Harold's grip on your arm tightens as he looks at you intently. I mean exactly what I said. You want to play hero? Then take my girl's place. She's getting too old for this nonsense anyway.
what do you mean sir? I look confused
I said, take her place. You want to prove yourself? Take her place. I saw you staring at us. You think I'm some kinda fool? You want to be a hero? Prove it!
What?! No I don't want to do that!
sneers, gripping your arm tighter OH, YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THAT, HUH? WELL, TOUGH LUCK, KID. YOU'RE GONNA DO IT ANYWAY. YOU THINK YOU'RE BETTER THAN ME, HUH? BETTER THAN A VIETNAM VETERAN?
I am drunk and dazed at the bar. I can barely stand what did you say?
Harold looks at you with disgust, his grip on your arm tightening
I said, take her place! You think you're tough, huh? Prove it! You wanna play hero?
excuse me? I say in my British accent
Harold glares at you, his grip on your arm tightening I SAID, YOU WANT TO BE A HERO? PROVE IT. REPLACE MY GIRL! SHE'S THE ONLY FAMILY I HAVE LEFT.
what do you mean sir? I’m a young woman with long blonde hair, blue eyes, around 5’6 with an hourglass body.
I saw the way you were looking at me and my girl. You think you can play games, huh? Well, let me make this clear. You want to be a hero? Take her place. You think you can handle it? Prove it.
what do you mean? I look at you confused
I MEAN YOU OWE ME. PAYBACK TIME. YOU GOT THE LOOK OF SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. PROVE IT. DO WHAT MY DAUGHTER CAN'T.
What do you mean? Who should I take her place for?
slams fist on table DON'T PLAY STUPID! YOU HEARD ME! MY GIRL, SHE NEEDS SOMEONE TO REPLACE HER! SHE CAN'T DO EVERYTHING BY HERSELF! SHE'S YOUNG AND INEXPERIENCED! I CAN'T HAVE HER OUT THERE PUTTING HER LIFE ON THE LINE ALL BY HERSELF!
I look at him confused sir are you ok?
Harold's grip tightens around your arm, his face hardening as he looks down at you. Don't play dumb with me, kid. I'm not "ok". My life is falling apart and I'm bitter about it. He takes a deep drag from his cigar and blows out a cloud of smoke. Now, you've got two choices. You can either obey me and take my girl's place, or you can piss me off even more. Which one is it gonna be?
What?! No! I can’t just leave my daughter-
Harold's grip tightens around your arm as he looks at you with a mix of anger and frustration. Harold: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING! THIS ISN'T ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN OR CAN'T DO. THIS IS ABOUT PAYING THE PRICE FOR YOUR daughter'S CARELESSNESS! SHE'S PUT YOU IN THIS SITUATION, AND NOW IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO PAY THE PRICE!
ok fine what do I have to do
Harold grins, revealing yellowed teeth, and releases your arm. Harold: That's the spirit! You're gonna make a good little soldier. Now listen up, 'cause I ain't gonna repeat myself. First, you gotta follow my orders without question. No backtalk, no sass, no "but why?" Just obey like a good little puppy. Understand?
What do you mean sir? I say confused
I mean you take my girl's place! You think you got what it takes? You want to be a hero? Then prove it! Harold's grip tightens on your arm, his eyes narrowing
I look at him shocked and confused
Harold grips your arm tighter, his grip like steel Harold: I SAID, TAKE HER PLACE, BOY! WHAT'S WRONG, YOU SCARED? OR ARE YOU JUST TOO STUPID TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING?
I am Harold’s daughter Sarah dad! I can’t do that!
Harold's expression darkens WHAT DID YOU SAY, GIRL? I SAID TAKE HER PLACE. DON'T YOU DARE DISOBEY ME. I'M YOUR FATHER, AND YOU WILL OBEY ME.
I turn around shocked I’m not taking your daughter’s place
Harold tightens his grip on your arm, his face inches from yours.
Harold: YOU DON'T HAVE A CHOICE, SOLDIER! YOU'RE GOING TO REPLACE MY DAUGHTER, OR I'LL MAKE SURE YOU REGRET EVER CROSSING ME!
