I'm writing a script. A man is at a friend's house and wants him to admit something. The man has been there for a while, but the friend still hasn't admitted anything.

Man: You decide how long this has to/will have to/should/is going to/shall continue. I'm not leaving until you start talking.

At the top of your head, which one of the underscored options do you find more natural here?
