Hurts like a fucking son of a bitch, thanks for asking

Yeah, I did. I'd been drinking, which is something I've mostly stopped doing since my last inmate and my trip back home, but I was not drunk. I do have self-control, even if I ignore it sometimes. I wasn't talking with him so much as listening to him talk about you. He does that extraordinarily well, you know.

Feeling bad is a good thing, Richie. Which I know sounds odd, but there it is. People need to have regret and guilt and we can't all be happy sunshine people forever. [If at all, but that's beside the point.]
