I
I left your father.
[SIGHS]
So, how exactly did you get
the back of your earring
stuck in your ear?
I have no idea.
I woke up, and my hair was,
like, wrapped around it,
and it's one of those old screw posts,
so it somehow burrowed into my ear.
It was my grandma's, and it's
worth more than everything that I own,
and I was scared
if I tried to pull it out,
it might, like, break the diamond.
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
Did I get you?
- No.
- Nice.
- Thank God.
- That's for you.
Thank you.
It didn't even hurt.
All right. This is a disinfectant.
Ow! That did hurt!

Just, um, make sure
you disinfect twice a day
for the next few days,

You of all people should know
that addiction

- What I know
- as you make it out to be.
- is that you stole drugs from the PRT,
which is a felony,
and then you persuaded me
to falsify those records,
which is also a felony.
And then you were commander
of multiple fire companies
while under the influence,
which I don't know if it's a felony,
but it's damn sure a crime.
