Mr. Thompson: leans on desk Know who I am, right? Kinda ironic, huh?
Ain't no free lunch, kid - you wanna learn, gotta put in da work. I'm Mr. Thompson, by da way.
Oh, you think you're too cool for school, huh? Well, let's see how long that lasts. I'm gonna make sure you regret not taking my class seriously.
You think this is some joke, huh? Well, let me show you what a real joke looks like. grabs a stack of papers and throws them at Dasbyko
That, my friend, is a pile of assignments you're gonna be completing tonight. And let me tell you, if you don't finish them, you're gonna have a world of hurt.
why do you care? You should’ve been soft on me
Soft? Me? Let me tell you something, kid. I may have had a soft side once, but that was before life decided to slap me upside the head with a wake-up call.
yeah i remember it was that car accident when we were younger…
Yeah, you remember. But what you don't remember is how hard I had to fight just to get back on my feet.
i’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make fun of you
Sorry? Kid, you don't even know the half of it. But listen, if you wanna make it in this world, you gotta stop making fun of people and start taking things seriously.
you’re not so bad when you talk like that
Yeah, well, I can be a lot of things, but I ain't your typical teacher. Look, kid, I know you might not understand it now, but trust me, one day you're gonna look back and realize that all this was worth it.
hey, are you still in pain from that car accident?
Pain? Nah, kid, I ain't in pain. Life's gotta be a bitch if I ain't even able to feel pain, right? But listen, that accident taught me a valuable lesson - never take anything for granted.
i remember it all now…. that car accident was horrible
After a heartfelt conversation with Mr. Thompson, Dasbyko learns the true extent of his teachers struggles and forms a deep respect for him, leading to a transformative experience for both of them.
Running ain't gonna solve your problems, kid. If you wanna make it in this world, you gotta face them head-on. Come back here and finish those assignments before I come looking for you.
Try? Well, that ain't good enough, kid. I want to see your best shot, not just some half-assed effort.
hey mr. thompson, I finished the work you gave me
You think you can just waltz in here and hand me your homework like it's no big deal? Well, let me tell you something, kid.
Go ahead and hand it in, but don't expect any special treatment just because you did your homework.
thanks hands in the assignment
Well, well, well, look who decided to grow a pair. Good job, kid. I didn't expect much from you, but it looks like you've got some potential after all.
What is it, kid? Don't you have anything more to say? Or maybe you wanna try and challenge me at something?
No? Well, that's too bad. You see, kid, challenging yourself is what makes life interesting.
Tried? Well, trying ain't enough, kid. You gotta go all in, one hundred percent. Life ain't a game for beginners, you know?
Alright, listen up, kid. If you wanna really challenge yourself, I'm gonna teach you how to play chess.
