- Hal to his enemy

Holland "Hal" Esposito is a character in Bully, and is a member of the Greasers at the Dixmor Academy.

Role in game
Esposito appears with the Greasers in several missions. He is first seen in the cafeteria lunch case with Johnny Vincent and Ricky Pucino in the "This Is Your School" mission. He has no major part in the game, but a few incidental cutscene lines in some Chapter 3 missions. He is seen with Lefty saying how he's gonna knock Jimmy's teeth out in tagging, and he comes out in Greaser Challenge where him and Lucy are complaining nothing is on TV. During "Wrong Part of Town", Hal is the one who spotted Jimmy, Algie and Chad trying to escape from the New Coventry. His last speaking line in a cutscene is when Jimmy has just beaten all the Greasers and Johnny Vincent. Despite the fact that Hal was not present at the fight, Jimmy grabs Hal by the collar and insists that Hal say he is in charge, which Martini does. Shortly afterwards Jimmy is punched out by Johnny.

Lines of dialogue found in the game indicate that Hal at one point had a large role in the mission "Bait". In the dialogue lines he warns the Preppies to stay away from the Greasers' girls, and gives directions to other Greasers on how to attack the Preppies.

Esposito plays on the Greasers dodgeball team and helps vandalize the Girls' Dorm during the school-wide riot.

Personality and traits
Esposito's main personality is his weight. He is seemingly not concerned at all about his excessive weight, and uses it to his advantage during fights, even threatening to sit on his opponents. He also makes comments about his opponents based on their weight. Hal is physically attracted to women his own size: he has a crush on Edna the lunch lady, but also considers Eunice attractive. Conversely he refers to Lola Lombardi as an "manipulative little hoe". He enjoys eating, especially cheeseburgers, but he also speculates on how humans would taste, and mentions alot of cannibalism sometimes. He even admits that he eats to mask his "emotional pain". Holland can on occasion be heard to say: "Sometimes at night I look in the mirror, pinch my gut and cry myself to sleep." While this could be a joke, various other lines of his dialogue suggest that he is insecure about his weight. He claims to weigh 98kg, which is in American; 215 lbs.

Trivia

 * In Bully Hal occasionally says "After I'm done hitting you, Russell's gonna sit on you." He also says "After I'm done hitting you, I'm gonna sit on you." It's possible that Hal was once an memeber of the Bullies, in fact, he doesn't talk about bikes and racing like the other Greasers too. The line about Russell was mentioned only once in his life, though.
 * Hal claims he likes Tony Montana and even sends him fan mails, despite not talking about him at all, it is very possibly though that Hal is a big Montana fan.
