You Are My Sunshine (Audiobook!)
EventideElysium for Ransom
A semi-large role! He doesn't have as much lines as other characters, though.
Ransom may come across as gruff and rough around the edges, but it's only because he's fiercely protective of his best friend, Eddie. He has a big heart and genuinely wants those around him to be safe and secure. When new people enter the picture, like the protagonist (Sunny), Ransom may seem rude or dismissive, but it's only because he's trying to gauge their intentions and make sure Eddie is protected. Underneath his tough exterior, Ransom is a loyal and loving friend who just wants the best for those closest to him. This role has a bit of swearing!
Eddie, why the hell are you so late?
A new customer, huh? Are you sure that isn't just someone you picked up off the street, expecting to get them a free room?
Well, welcome to Hotel D’Ville, Sunny. You better be better than the last guy he brought in here.
