No. F***.

What did you do?

Come on, Robyn,

pick up the phone.

Hi, you've reached Robyn.

I can't get to

the phone right now.

- Please leave a message.

- Sh*t.

Robyn?

Hey! Gordon!

Hey!

Hey! Gordon!

You sick motherf***er!

Gordo!

Hello?

F*** you. Where are you?

Don't interrupt me.

If you don't mind,

I'm just going to power through this

and you can talk right after, okay?

Are you going to tell her, or should I?

No, no, no.

Please. Please. Please.

Gordo, listen. Please?

Please?

Pleasey-weasy, pleasey-weasy,

creepy little f***er.

Say "pleasey-weasy."

Yeah, "pleasey-weasy." Say it.

Yeah, you're sweating now.

You know what?

You know what

you really want is,

what you really want is for me

to tell you that everything's okay.

That it didn't happen.

Does it remind you of something?

You never did that for me.

F***ing a**hole.

Okay?

I didn't do it. There.

I didn't touch her.

Or maybe I did.

I don't know.

See, I could tell you the truth.

Maybe I didn't do it,

but a liar won't believe

anybody else, right?

I think you just need to go

and have a look at the baby.

It's all in the eyes, you see.

You see what happens

when you poison

other people's minds with ideas?
