I'm not happy. I'm not happy at all. I'm not happy. I wish you were here. Does that sound... does that sound genuine? Is it convincing? I don't know. I don't know if it's very convincing. I think you need to get on your hands and knees and start crying. Anna, you don't think that was convincing to her?! I don't know, she had to bring it up on her own. I did! I like there was no like 'hey I miss you' or like anything. OK whatever. I think I should just stay in the Bahamas for a little bit longer. NO!! I do miss you! I miss you. I'm crying. Oh, I'm CRYING. He's crying. He's crying.
