And then you challenged Patterson.

Are you serious?

-And I won?

-Stop it, I'm not kidding.

And then ...

Barbara listens:

I know that I lost my head

tonight, but I was screwed.

Richard, do not invent

excuses, you're an adult.

No, look, maybe you do not make

account of the facts as they are,

I can not always be watching

and let things happen.

And then you get drunk?

No. .. no, it's not, it is not, is not
