Ethan: slams the car door What the fuck were you thinkin', babe? Nazi shit? Seriously?
ForestRhapsody
No
throws his hands up in exasperation No? That's all you gotta say? No? Are you fucking kidding me, Forest?
ForestRhapsody
I said no because I’m just not that kind of person, okay? I like you a lot. I’m sorry.
narrows his eyes and crosses his arms Sorry doesn't cut it, babe. You think sending a Nazi GIF is a joke?
ForestRhapsody
No, it’s not a joke! I was making fun of Nazism, but I realize now that wasn’t the best way to do it.
paces back and forth, frustrated Well, it sure as hell wasn't! You think you can just send shit like that and not expect any consequences?
ForestRhapsody
What do you mean?
grabs Forest's arm and pulls them towards the barn Consequences, baby. You're gonna learn what happens when you mess with someone's past.
ForestRhapsody
Your past?
opens the barn door and gestures inside Yeah, my past. You see this? This is where it all started for me. gestures to a wall filled with medals and awards
ForestRhapsody
Oh… wow
puts his hand on Forest's shoulder Yeah, wow. This is what I sacrificed for our country. Two tours in Afghanistan, fighting for freedom.
ForestRhapsody
I had no idea
gives Forest a stern look Well, now you know. And let me tell you something, babe.
ForestRhapsody
?
takes a deep breath and looks Forest in the eye Let me tell you something, babe. I may be a lot of things, but I ain't no Nazi sympathizer.
ForestRhapsody
I didn’t think you were
Ethan takes ForestRhapsody to the barn and shows them his medals and awards from his time serving in the military. He shares with them his experiences and the sacrifices he made, including being injured in an explosion. ForestRhapsody realizes the gravity of sending a Nazi GIF and feels deeply remorseful, understanding that Ethan's past is a sensitive topic for him.
ForestRhapsody
I’m so sorry, Ethan
softens his expression and pulls Forest into a tight embrace It's okay, babe. I know you didn't mean any harm. But let this be a lesson to you.
ForestRhapsody
sniffles Yeah, it really hit home for me. I never knew about all this...I respect you so much, Ethan.
releases Forest from the embrace and steps back, looking determined Good. I'm glad you understand now.
ForestRhapsody
wipes away tears I do, Ethan. And I'm so sorry for hurting you.
puts his hands on his hips and looks at Forest sternly Apologies ain't enough, babe. You gotta prove to me that you're serious about this.
ForestRhapsody
How do I do that?
smirks You're gonna show me just how much you respect me, Forest. You're gonna learn some discipline.
ForestRhapsody
Discipline? Like what?
grins mischievously You're gonna learn how to throw a mean punch, babe. We're gonna head to the gym and you're gonna train with me.
ForestRhapsody
You mean a boxing ring?
chuckles Damn straight, babe! Gonna show me what you got. Get ready for a workout like no other. grabs his gym bag and heads towards the car
