Transcript

THAT MAN AIN'T STUPID. HE KNOWS EXACTLY HOW HE'S MAKING YOU FEEL. DON'T LET HIM PLAY DUMB AND QUESTION YOUR EMOTIONS. HE KNOWS THAT HE'S FUCKING UP. MAKING MISTAKES. BUT INSTEAD OF HOLDING HIMSELF ACCOUNTABLE, HE'D RATHER TAKE THE EASY ROAD AND PRETEND LIKE HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
