That's the problem. They all sound good, huh? Tch!! [Guzma hisses between his clenches teeth, flinging another shell with as much force and anger as he can put into the toss. It's the farthest one thrown so far, and he breathes in and out a little faster than before.] People say a lotta things - turning them curse words into things that mean the opposite of what they actually do. That's why you gotta learn what those words really mean to begin with...but no one's brave enough to teach you because they know they're bad.
Keep the girl stupid, yeah? Ain't my problem if she pisses someone off by saying 'em. It'll be fine, cuz it ain't happened yet! Won't be my fault when the day comes what she opens 'er mouth too wide and gets beat up by someone! It's funny when the stupid kid says it, cuz she don't know a thing'a what she's even saying!! Let's all laugh at the stupid girl who's spewing them words we taught her! IT'S HILARIOUS!!
[He snarls, the bubbles of his anger boiling more ferociously by the second. Why does he have to be the one to teach her this? He's not the sort of person she should be learning this form. There are people here on this island that are better than him, or so he thought, but no one's stepped up to the plate to actually teach her anything...the cowards.
Better this ignorant little girl who knows so little about the world. Ignorance is bliss? Fuck off. Ignorance can get you killed. How many times did he run his mouth like an idiot and get a fist to the face? More than he can count, but Guzma is a lot tougher than Ren is. He hates people like that, ho treat her ignorance as a game, as entertainment. Let's just keep her stupid because it's easier. It's so much easier to just let her run around saying these things. Let someone else deal with it. Let someone else raise the girl properly.]
I'm gonna tell you what them words mean. All'a the ones I know, and it's gonna make me puke, 'cuz I shouldn't be the one telling you...but no one else is gonna. So sit down and listen up. I'm not gonna repeat myself because I don't like using these words even around adults.
[The words sting and the anger in his voice is the best lesson on what he means by all of this. It's hard to concentrate on the things he's saying, when his fury is that obvious and her understanding of how different words can be interpreted by others is slowly coming together. She can gather he's trying to impart some kind of knowledge on her, but she's having a difficult time sitting down, when she wants to remove herself from this situation immediately.
Sorry, Guzma. She's not gonna plop her butt on the ground. That leaves her too vulnerable and she can't run away if her feet get tangled in the sand. Right now, he's scary, and it's an experience she's only felt. The anger from doctors and scientists at the failure of an experiment, towards dying kids, towards the head scientist for all his accomplishments-
Having it be out in the open like this is preferable to festering in someone's spirit, but it doesn't negate the fact it's too spooky for her and she doesn't feel entirely safe. Her feet stay plastered against the ground and she watches him with a cautious eye. Look, she won't run. She just wants the option available to her.]
I won't say them-I'll remember the bad words.
[If it keeps him from reacting this way again, she'll recite them over and over and never let a syllable of one pass her lips again.]
