Wanted to have a quick chat about flat responsibilities because.. uh...guys I think that we're not all pulling our weight here. We're not just pointing the finger at you, Deacon. You're a cool guy but you're not pulling your weight in the flat. Well, I'm glad to hear that I'm cool.

- No, that's not the point though... - Yeah, no, I know, I know... It's not a flat meeting about how cool you are. - I do my flat chores. - No, you don't! - Yes, I do - No, that's why we're having the flat-meeting. The point is Deacon that you have not done the dishes for 5 years. Vladislav is right. It's unacceptable to have so many bloody dishes all over this bench like that... I'm so embarrassed when people come over here. Why does it matter?! You bring them over, you kill them!
