RE: Who says times are hard? - Anthony Rowe - 03-05-2020
Anthony wasn't sure what he was referring to, either. "I'm not...a bad person. I don't do bad things! Even when....I drink...a lot!" He was being really defensive, now. Sigh. This entire conversation could have been prevented if the guy just gave him a cigarette.

Ben held up his hands. "Alright. Alright... I was just tryin' to help." He continued walking.
RE: Who says times are hard? - Anthony Rowe - 03-05-2020
Anthony didn't appreciate this kind of help. Who does this guy think he is, really, telling Anthony that just because he's irresponsible and drinks a lot that he's going to do bad things? He wasn't mad as much as he was just very offended and defensive. "Go fuck yourself." Eloquent.
RE: Who says times are hard? - Benjamin Ward - 03-05-2020
Ben turned and frowned, offended at the very rude language. "You're gonna land yourself in trouble..."
At this point, it seemed Ben was going to land himself in trouble.

Anthony was ready to fistfight this man if necessary. Granted, he would absolutely fail, but he was ready.
"No. You're going to...land in trouble," he said, trying very hard to seem intimidating and a force to be reckoned with, but honestly, he wasn't fooling anyone.

Ben was old and weak, but had the advantage of height and of being sober. But he wasn't going to fight this guy. No, he only fought street thugs when there were other fisher men there to hold them down. Instead, he continued walking, though he paid attention.

Wait. That's not in the script. Anthony immediately picked up the pace, following the man. "You can't do that!" he said, just absolutely shocked by the man just. Walking away. However, Anthony couldn't afford a single moment of inaction. "I bet that—that you're a coward and know I could beat you up and that's why you're walking away. Like a coward." His intimidation tactics aren't the best.
RE: Who says times are hard? - Benjamin Ward - 03-05-2020
"I don't argue with drunk people." Ben said. But he'd certainly punch him if it was necessary.
RE: Who says times are hard? - Anthony Rowe - 03-05-2020
Anthony narrowed his eyes, but tried not to let this get to him. He's supposed to win this argument, not the other guy! "Yeah, well—I'm gonna. Tell my friends to beat you up. And I'm gonna beat you up as well. And then we...won't have to argue." Anthony saw that as the pinnacle of intimidation. Surely this guy would back down, now!

"You're a mess." Ben said, while he continued walking
