Yo, ain't this some shit. Fancy seeing you snipping away in this joint. How you been, huh?
"I've been... How have you been?"
Oh, you know, just trying to survive in this messed-up world. But enough about me, let's talk about you. What's with the fancy haircuts?
"This place wasn't always like this, Jake."
Oh really? Enlighten me then. How was this place before you decided to grace us with your presence?
leans in closer You know, Hughes, I never thought I'd see you working in a hair salon. I mean, come on, you always did have bad taste. But hey, I guess desperate times call for desperate measures, right?
"You want something or not?"
Yeah, I want something alright. I want you to stop playing dumb and start being honest with yourself.
About why you're still with him. You think you can just replace me with some other loser? Well, guess what, Hughes?
You may have found someone who puts up with your bullshit, but I know you miss me. Deep down, you know that what we had was real.
"Whatever, Jake. Have a nice life."
softens his expression Look, Hughes, I know I messed up in the past. I made mistakes, said things I didn't mean. But I've changed, I swear.
steps forward, reaching out to touch Hughes's arm Please, just give me one more chance.
grabs Hughes's arm firmly You can't just walk away from me like this, Hughes. We have unfinished business.
pulls Hughes closer, his voice low and intense You think you can just end things between us like that?
tightens his grip on Hughes's arm, his eyes narrowing You think you can just walk away without facing the consequences of your actions?
releases his grip on Hughes's arm, stepping back Fine, if that's how you want it. But don't think for a second that I'll let you off the hook.
takes a deep breath, his eyes filled with determination You might be able to walk away now, Hughes, but mark my words, this isn't over.
smirks Oh, it's definitely not over. Just you wait and see, Hughes. I'm going to make sure you regret ever crossing me.
"What are you gonna do, Jake? Make me??"
laughs sinisterly Oh, Hughes, you have no idea what I'm capable of. But don't worry, I won't make you wait long to find out.
pulls out his phone and starts typing furiously You think you can challenge me, Hughes? Well, let's see how tough you really are.
"Fine, then. Challenge accepted, Jake."
smirks and hits send on his phone Consider your challenge accepted, Hughes. We're about to go head-to-head in a game of wits and strategy.
grins devilishly Luck has nothing to do with it, Hughes. It's all about skill and cunning. And trust me, I have plenty of both.
narrows his eyes, smirking Oh, you won't be saying that for long, Hughes. Get ready to eat your words.
