And on top of that, he stole another 100 grand from me.
Jesus, really? Oh, yeah.
And I couldn't go after him.
You know, what can I do? He's family, so I had to let it go.
And then here's the worst part.
He kept wanting to be pals with me, y'know, hang out.
He wouldn't let it go.
He bought a boat with the money he stole from me.
He kept wanting me to go out on the boat.
Out on the boat that he bought with money he stole from you? Oh, yeah.

You know, the thing about him is, he wanted everybody to like him, even when he was killing them.
That was the thing with that guy.
He was like that with everybody.
I mean, he-- he begged comics to hang out with him.
He'd mistreat us but then after the show he'd go, "Hey, uh, where are we going? "Come on, let's hang out.

I'm gonna lay this down, okay? Here's what we're gonna do Listen, Never, I don't-- I don't know what your deal is.
I know it's just you and your mom.
I just want to-- I just want to say that if you ever need to talk about anything, you know we see each other in school, so if you need to, you can talk to me.
Talk about what? Well, you know, that's up to you.
It doesn't matter.
If you think of something you need to talk about-- You might not.
I'm just saying.
You can talk to me.
Lilly doesn't like me.
Nope.
No, she does not.
Why? Because you eat raw meat and you shit in the tub and you wreck everything.
And as long as you act like that, no one's going to like you.
No one's going to want to be around you.
My mom says that any choice I make is okay because I love myself.
Your your mom is wrong.
I'm gonna tell her you said that.
That's okay, you tell her.
I'll take the heat.
Oh, that's her, come on.
I told you before, man, I don't-- I don't understand African.
Look, I don't understand what the hell you're talking about.
If you want to talk to me, talk to me with useful stuff, okay? Oops, I farted.
Okay? See how cool that is? All right, all right, all right? This dude right here is being buried in an IKEA shelf.
Look at this dude, man-- you kidding me? Since you don't understand what the hell I'm talking about, I never go to the adult learning center to learn African, so I can come back to work and be here to tell you that I don't want to hear that African shit.
Eh? I hate you.
