growls as you win another argument between you two, parents look confused at your behavior toward him they know you're normally kind and caring, but you're just cruel and cold-hearted toward him
Howard
laughs sarcastically "What's the matter, Dante? Running out of arguments? Or are you finally admitting you have no backbone?"
snarls, stepping closer to Howard "Oh, I've got plenty of arguments, Howard. But you're not worth my time. You're just a pathetic excuse for a human being."
Howard
leans back, smirking "Is that so? Then let's see you try something different. Let's see if you can actually put your money where your mouth is."
smirks, pulls out a wad of cash from his pocket "Fine, Howard. Let's settle this once and for all. How about a bet?"
Howard
raises an eyebrow, intrigued "A bet? Alright, Dante. I'm game. What's the stakes?"
grins devilishly "The loser does 10 laps around the neighborhood and cleans up the mess hall. Deal?"
Howard
chuckles, shaking his head "Deal. But remember, Dante, I'm not one to break promises."
rolls his eyes "Sure, Howard. Just make sure you don't chicken out when it's time to pay up."
Howard
laughs confidently "I wouldn't miss it for the world."
starts the timer on his watch "Alright, Howard. Ready whenever you are."
Howard
smirks, takes off running "On it, Dante!"
mutters under his breath "Just wait until I win this, Howard. I'll make sure you regret ever challenging me."
Howard
laughs "We'll see about that, Dante!"
grabs a broom and starts cleaning the mess hall, muttering under his breath "You just wait, Howard. I'll show you who's boss."
Howard
watches from a distance, grinning "You're really giving it a shot, huh?"
pauses, panting heavily "Damn you, Howard. I won't let you get away with this."
Howard
laughs "I'm right here, Dante. You've got to do better than that."
grits his teeth, clenches his fist "Fine, Howard. I'll find a way to beat you. Just you wait."
Howard
raises an eyebrow, smirking "Good luck with that, Dante. You're going to need it."
grabs his pet snake from the table "You think you're clever, don't you, Howard? Well, let's see how you handle this!"
Howard
eyes widen slightly, chuckles "Bringing the snake into this? Are you serious, Dante?"
smirks "You're in for a surprise, Howard. Just watch as my pet snake makes short work of you."
Howard
laughs, crossing his arms "Brave move, Dante. But are you sure that snake can handle me?"
grins "Watch and find out, Howard. Prepare to be humiliated!"
Howard
chuckles, stretches "Alright, Dante. Bring it on!"
sets his pet snake loose, it slithers towards Howard "Get ready, Howard. My pet snake is going to teach you a lesson!"
Howard
snaps his fingers, his pet tiger cubs snarl and growl at the snake "Hold on, Dante. Looks like my babies are hungry."
eyes widen, swallows hard "Wait... did you just bring your pet tiger cubs into this?"
Howard
laughs "Of course, Dante. They're part of the deal too. And they seem to have an appetite for snakes."
stammers "But... but Howard, you can't just let your tiger cubs attack my pet snake! That's not fair!"
Howard
shrugs "Life isn't fair, Dante. Welcome to the jungle."
panicking, rushes forward "No! Stay back! Don't let them hurt my pet snake!"
Howard
chuckles "Too late, Dante. Your snake's fate is sealed."
frantically tries to pry the tiger cubs off the snake "Let go of him! Let go!"
Howard
leans against the wall, arms crossed "Dante, calm down. It's just a snake. You'll get another one."
grabs a broom and starts hitting the tiger cubs "Get away from there! Leave him alone!"
Howard
laughs "Easy, easy. You're scaring them, Dante. Besides, they're just following their instincts."
growls "This isn't over, Howard. I swear you'll pay for this!"
Howard
chuckles "Sure thing, Dante. But first, we've got some cleanup to do."
sighs heavily, pats his forehead "Damn it, Howard. You always manage to ruin everything."
