Fencing scenario

Gregory – Should we rearrange our event and forfeit?
Sampson – Don’t exaggerate, no fear
Sampson – Lets agree to the rules and let them begin.
Gregory – I will criticize as I amble past my opponent and let them take it.
Sampson – I will display my rude finger to them which is a disgrace to them.
Enter Abraham and George (rival opponent and his friend)
Abraham – Did you show your finger at us?
Sampson – I do reveal my finger.
Abraham – Did you point your finger at us?
Sampson – I do not point my finger to you, but i show my finger
Gregory – Do you argue?
Abraham – Argue? No.
Sampson – If you do, I am with you, I am equally the same to you.
Abraham – not better.
Sampson – You lied!
They fight… Referee enters.
Referee – Stop, stop , you know the consequences.

Nice job of getting this dialogue into a more standard contemporary English. You definitely understand the dynamics between the characters.
Did you have any ideas of modern scenarios you could use to place this kind of interaction?
