“My father…”

“Look what I can do…”
…
To Daddy…
“Are you a Indian man?”
…
“I am a bit perfect!”
…
“Daddy, you can have the heart, coz I love you.”

When walking through Merry Hill after Scallywags, Talise’s friend Harris said to Daddy…

…
At Scallywags…
Daddy: “You alright, sweetie?”
Talise: “Yeah. Course I am.”
