And dozens of more bloodbaths all over the world.

There are those who are the victims, and then there are those who just like
to wear the T-shirts.

And if you insist upon addressing me as a character from Bonanza, can I
please be "Little Joe", I never much cared for Hoss.

I wasn't aware that I had written any agreements. What agreements have I
written and how am I failing to live up to them.

I didn't realize I was preventing you from being who you are. What exactly is
it that I've done that's prevented you from being who you are.

And just what word of mine is it that I'm not keeping?

~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~

I wasn't aware I was giving you charity. I thought the clothes I was setting
out were going to the diabetes association. And I'm not sure about your need
but I can tell you that that's not my liquor.
