HighwaymanHey you, stop right there!
MeWhat do you want?
HighwaymanIf you don't want me to smash in your face, you had better transfer a few gold coins from your pockets to mine - and pronto!
MeSay, have you seen a novice?
Highwayman(puzzled) er - what? Hmm... (thinking) That might well be.
HighwaymanGive me 20 gold pieces, and I'll tell you!
MeHow much do you want?
Highwayman(grins) 20 gold pieces and we could be friends.
MeYou're joking.
HighwaymanDo I look the part?
HighwaymanIf I don't see 20 gold pieces before you come even one step closer ...
HighwaymanThen I'll flatten you. So fork over the dough already.
MeGet out of my way!
HighwaymanMy, you have a big mouth for such a scrawny little fellow.
HighwaymanIt's time I shut it for you.
MeAll right, here's your money.
Highwayman(sneering) I should say 20 gold pieces wasn't too much to pay for your life. You can pass.
HighwaymanOK, now, this novice came by here almost an hour ago.
HighwaymanHe was in a bit of a hurry, looking behind him all the time, he was. Now scram.
MeSorry, I don't have any money.
HighwaymanYeah, these are terrible times all right.
HighwaymanBut I'll tell you what - just hand me your weapon. Then I'll let you pass.
HighwaymanI'll tell you what: come back when you have money. No money, no bridge.
MeJust get out of my way.
HighwaymanSo you want it the hard way?
MeForget it.
HighwaymanOK, the hard way it is.
MeHere, take my weapon.
HighwaymanStay away from that weapon. Just you wait!
HighwaymanYou really want to take your chances? It's your call.
MeHere's your money.
HighwaymanAh, now you're talking.
MeI won't give you a penny.
HighwaymanI'll get it for myself then.
