Where'd you get a computer? I won it in a game show called "Beat the Shit Out of a Piece-of-Shit Drug Dealer and You Get to Keep his Shit." Cute. So, I have a shift to catch at the hospital. - I'm gonna talk to you later, okay? - Okay. I'll call you. - Okay. - Or, you know what, I can text you. Because we've got text history for days, so I can... Yeah. Get the thumbs working on that. Why the hell can't you young people just talk to each other? Fuck a text. It's a phone. Call her. Or better yet, why don't you just take her to dinner, and debrief her over the meal?

That's my preference. But... in general, women want a man to be manly. I'm pretty sure women don't like being told what it is that they like. See, that's the shit I'm talking about. Men used to be men. Now, you millennial motherfuckers are running around worrying about what women think, and how they feel, and apologizing and shit. It's embarrassing. Apologizing is embarrassing? Yes. Men don't apologize. That's a trap they set for us. Real men just own their shit. No. Real men take responsibility for what they do. Real men are strong enough to admit when they're wrong. Real men are strong enough to put their foot in a motherfucker's ass when they get pissed off. What is that? The Shaft family motto? It's an unwritten rule, Stephen A. Shit.
