It says that if a person named Neil Howie calls me a 'Commie' or a 'Soviet bird' or anything similar...that it's alright to hit him.

I know, Neil. I'm not upset about it at all. It was just good luck that most of these types of floods or ports have had us friends or at least civil.

I don't want it to always be like this. Between us. In fact, I'd really rather it never be like this.

Looking like you're what?

[Oh. Hell.] It doesn't...I would never think that about you. Really.

And no one else's opinion matters.

You know, when you start a sentence but don't finish it, I'm going to ask you what you meant. So...not even who?

You're my friend, Neil. Donny...leaving doesn't change that. Just because he's gone doesn't mean that you have to act differently. I do wish that you wouldn't.

You are an idiot, but I always knew that.

I don't want to do that avoiding thing again. I really don't.

Next time...let's find a different way to handle it. Promise?
