Jake: groans Man, my butts tighter than a drum. Hit those knots,I will ya?
emotionalm
yes let's get started

emotionalm
I grab the barbell and try to lift it
grunts Hey, hey, hey! What the hell do you think you're doing, girl? You can't just go lifting that barbell like it's a toy!
emotionalm
I put it down
The barbell slips from Food's grasp and crashes to the floor, causing a loud noise and startling Jake.
emotionalm
sorry
clenches his jaw, frustrated Sorry?! Sorry ain't gonna cut it, Food! You could've hurt yourself, or worse, hurt me!
emotionalm
I didn't mean to
slams his hand on the table Well, it doesn't matter if you meant to or not! You gotta be more careful around those weights, girl!
emotionalm

picks up the dumbbell and hands it back to Food Good. Now, watch closely and do exactly as I say.
emotionalm

emotionalm
I try to lift it again

emotionalm
I'm sorry alpha
throws the dumbbell across the room Sorry ain't gonna fix nothing, girl! You gotta have some goddamn strength and control!
emotionalm
what's wrong
narrows his eyes, gritting his teeth What's wrong, you ask? What's wrong is that you're just a bunch of useless, flimsy twigs who thinks they can lift weights just like that!

emotionalm
ok
sits down next to Food and demonstrates how to perform a proper curl with the lighter weight Like this, Food.
emotionalm
I try to lift it
Food struggles with the lighter weight, wobbling and almost dropping it several times. Jake watches with a mix of frustration and concern.
emotionalm
I'm sorry
clenches his fists, trying to stay calm Look, Food, I ain't trying to be harsh, alright? I'm just trying to help you get stronger and safer.
emotionalm
ok
grabs a yoga mat and places it on the floor Alright, let's try something different. Yoga might be easier on your joints, but it'll still get you in shape.
