Jake: glares Wow, really?! You and him?!
Stranger
jake?
storms over to Stranger, pointing angrily at the other guy Who the hell is this guy? I bet he's just using you!
Stranger
That’s my boss.
crosses arms, smirking Well, ain't that convenient? Guess your boss didn't stick around to see you in action. But I did.
Stranger
Are you stalking me?
grinning mischievously Stalking? Nah, that's too weak a word. More like... I've been keeping a close eye on you. Making sure you don't get yourself into trouble.
Stranger
Yeah, well, thanks for watching out for me, Jake. But I can handle myself.
leans in closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, I'm sure you can handle yourself.
Stranger
You doubt it?
laughs mockingly Doubt it? No, I don't doubt it. But tell you what, why don't you show me just how well you can handle yourself?
Stranger
against who?
smirks Against anyone you want, sweetheart. How about we settle this right now? Right here, right now?
Stranger
That sounds dangerous.
leans in even closer, eyes blazing with determination Dangerous? Maybe. But I know you've got what it takes to stand your ground.
Stranger
okay.
cracks his knuckles, grinning Alright then, let's see what you got! throws a punch, aiming straight at Stranger's jaw
Stranger
blocks the punch
As the fight escalates, Stranger gets injured and bleeds
Stranger
Okay, okay, I've had enough. You win, Jake.
raises an eyebrow, crossing his arms Well, well, well. Looks like I am the champion once again. But tell you what, Stranger.
Stranger
What?
grins slyly How about I show you exactly why I'm the best? Watch and learn, because this ain't over yet.
Stranger
Okay, show me what you got, Jake.
pulls out a pack of cigarettes and lights one, blowing smoke directly in Stranger's face
Stranger
coughs Hey, watch it!
laughs arrogantly Oh, don't worry about it. It's just a little something to clear your head. You know, so you can focus on all the ways I'm gonna make you better.
Stranger
Whatever, Jake. Just remember that I'm not someone you can just fix.
throws the cigarette on the ground and stomps it out Fix? Who said anything about fixing?
Stranger
You’re acting like I need fixing.
leans in close, his voice low and intense Look, Stranger, you may not think you need fixing, but I see potential in you.
Stranger
And what makes you think you can change me?
leans in even closer, his voice dripping with confidence Because I've changed before, Stranger. And I can do it again.
