QUIT THE SCAM, CLOSE OUT and TO FORCE HIS WAY IN
Hi, could someone explain me the exact meaning of these expressions (on capital letters)?:
'How you could respond to a friend who was acting like a tyrant trying TO FORCE HIS WAY IN, saying,"Listen I have young kids . My daughter's only three and my son is two. Before I let you CLOSE them OUT, I'll come to you with a gun. Now, QUIT THE SCAM."'
I think I understand the meaning, but I want to be sure.
Thanks in advance, Jo.

To force his way in. It is unclear. If the reference is back to the tyrant, it would be like trying to take power.
