"Jessica, look, he’s bullying me!"

"He’s just asking you to get a couple of bottles of water. How is that bullying? You’re being so dramatic! Just go get it!"

Instead of taking the water bottles from Brittany, Daniel instructed her, "Just twist off the caps and pour the water over my hands, that'll do."

Brittany’s eyes widened in disbelief. "You're telling me to serve you, a country boy?"
