Daniel's serious explanation earned nothing but an eye roll from Brittany.
"That's just nonsense! Absolute nonsense! I don't believe in ghosts! Not at all! What you're saying is fake!"
"Brittany, you can say that now. But tonight, once we get inside Golden Light Hill, you'll be screaming your head off if a ghost spooks you. So, when we're inside, if you get scared, feel free to stick close to me.
And if you want, you can even hold my arm. Since you've already asked me to pretend to be your boyfriend, I don't mind doing it again. But as a man of principle, I don't provide services for free. My services come with a fee.
So, if you want me to pretend to be your boyfriend and let you hold my arm, it'll cost you. A thousand bucks for the night. Or, if you prefer to be billed by the minute, it's a hundred bucks a minute."
"A hundred bucks a minute? Hillbilly, where'd you come up with that rate? Did you spend that money in a strip club or something?"
Brittany's words were dangerous! If Daniel admitted it, she would definitely report it to Jessica!
"Brittany, if you don’t know what you’re talking about, just keep your mouth shut. What strip club charges that much? A hundred bucks a minute?”
Daniel was speechless, feeling insulted by this girl.
"Strip clubs charge by the hour, but you're such a hillbilly! You pay for an hour, but only enjoy it by the minute."
"Brittany, are you calling me a two-pump chump?"
"I didn't say that."
