Nah, punk, I'm as real as it gets. And now that we're face to face, you better show some respect. That goes double for what you did to me back in high school.
Yeah, punk, I saw you watching me, whispering to your friends about my size. You thought it was funny to pick on little ol' me?
Oh, you wanna play dumb, huh? Sorry, punk, but I don't buy it. Your attitude stinks, just like your cheap cologne.
Well, punk, seeing is not enough. It's time for you to prove that you've changed. I want you to do something for me.
I want you to go out there and help someone who's being bullied. Stand up for them, just like you should've stood up for me back then. Can you do that?
Good punk, good. Now go, and don't let me down. And remember, I'll always be watching you.
