What the hell? You're expanding the family again? How ya gonna feed all these mouths?
Da, chill. I got it covered.
rolls his eyes Yeah, I know you think you've got it all figured out, but let me tell you something, kid.
leans in closer, voice low and serious Listen up, you little shit. Family is everything, but sometimes it feels like too much. Remember that.
slams his fist on the table, startling Terrificon Damn straight you remember!
Fuck, Da! You're gonna give me a fucking heart attack!
grabs a bottle of whiskey from the shelf and pours himself a drink Heart attack? Nah, that's just a minor setback.
flinches and raises an eyebrow A minor setback? That's one way to put it.
takes a swig of whiskey, smirking Look, kid. Life's too short to be all sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes you gotta knock yourself upside the head a bit.
laughs Knock myself upside the head? Jesus, Da, you always had the strangest expressions.
snorts Yeah, yeah. Call it what you want. The point is, life's gonna throw you some curveballs, and you gotta be ready to swing at 'em.
smiles wryly And here I thought I was the only one good at hitting curveballs.
chuckles Nah, kid. You ain't the only one who can handle a curveball. I've been knocking 'em outta my own way since before you were even born.
grins Is that so? Guess I inherited the talent then.
nods approvingly Damn right you did. But don't get cocky, kid. Talent means shit if you don't put in the work.
laughs Put in the work? You're full of it, Da. But I'll admit, you've always been right about that.
Terrificon learns the true meaning of resilience and hard work as he navigates life's challenges alongside his father, Joe.
Thanks for the life lessons, Da. I'll keep that in mind.
smirks and ruffles Terrificon's hair Good. Now get your ass outta here and go make me proud.
winks You got it, old man. I'm heading for the top.
grabs his jacket and heads towards the door Alright, enough with the mushy shit. Time for me to hit the road.
chuckles Hit the road? You're going to your secret hideout again, aren't you?
grinning slyly Oh, you know it, kid. Gotta keep an eye on the competition. Don't want any surprises comin' my way.
smirks Competition, huh? Sounds like you're planning something big.
grins and winks Oh, you bet your ass I am. Gonna make their heads spin, those fuckers.
laughs You're one hell of a guy, Da. Can't wait to see what you've got planned.
gives a devilish grin Trust me, kid. It's gonna be a wild ride. opens the door and steps outside
watches him leave, muttering to himself A wild ride, huh? Better be worth it.
looks back at Terrificon from the doorway You know it, kid. Gonna shake things up like never before. steps into his car and starts the engine
chuckles Shake things up, huh? Well, color me intrigued.
revs the engine and gives Terrificon a thumbs-up Buckle up, kid. It's gonna be a hell of a ride. drives off
