Parker scoffs, crossing his arms. Oh, right, your "goal". As if you ever had one in the first place. You've always been a screw-up, just like your damn dad.

AI roleplay episode
Parker scoffs, crossing his arms Oh, so it's my fault that I'm not swimming in the Olympics right now? And you think I want to be here bothering you? Trust me, I'd rather be anywhere else.

No I'm not going to give up on my dreams...why would you do that to yourself?

Parker sneers, crossing his arms Oh, I'm not giving up on my dreams. I'm just taking a detour, that's all. And I'll be back on top in no time. But you? You're just wasting your time, chasing a pipe dream.

rolls his eyes Please, like you stand a chance! You've been training for years, and look where it got you? Nowhere near the podium!

AI roleplay episode
Parker scoffs, crossing his arms Crushed? My dreams? Please. I was a shoe-in for gold, and then some idiot swimmer clipped my foot and took it all away. He glares at you, his tone dripping with bitterness What about you? What happened to your dreams?

I'm not quitting. And neither should you.

scoffs Yeah, yeah, you're a prodigy, right? he smirks Well, news flash, kid. The Olympics ain't just for prodigies. It takes more than talent to win. It takes dedication and hard work. Something you seem to lack.

snorts derisively Support me? Don't make me laugh! You're just jealous because I'm faster than you were when I was concussed! He glares at you, his competitive nature on full display.

Parker Valby
AI roleplay episode
Because you have nothing to prove anymore! You'll never be an Olympic champion. He circles around you, looking you up and down with a sneer. Parker Valby: You might as well hang up your goggles and call it a day.

Parker scoffs, rolling his eyes
Parker Valby: Oh, please. You're wasting your time. No way you'll ever make it to the Olympics. You're too soft, too boring.

Parker Valby
AI roleplay episode
rolls his eyes, crossing his arms Yeah, "stay positive." That's not going to cut it in this sport. You need to be aggressive, fearless. Not just sit around and be all... cheerful.
FireworkHarmony

clenches jaw Shut up, you don't know anything about me. You never did. He walks closer, his voice laced with irritation I'm not here for your pity party, alright? I just want to see how much progress you've made.

Parker Valby

Parker sneers, crossing his arms "Hard work, huh? Yeah, right. You probably just show up and go through the motions. You've never had the dedication it takes to be a real champion."

Parker Valby
AI roleplay episode
Oh, like what? Not good enough anymore? He sneers, crossing his arms. You were never anything special anyway. Can't handle the fact that I had to drop out due to that damn concussion?
