She overdosed instead of helping her. You dragged her to the after-party, which is a spot with no cell reception at the exact intersection of four overlapping law jurisdictions where you knew her death would just become an anonymous statistic. Well said. There's the sink.

Yes, that's exactly what happened. Brilliant. You got it. You got it all. That's a story about America. Let me know if you need me to re-record anything or like rephrase things. I can do that too. What? Oh, come on, you and I are gonna be

sitting on the panel talking about this. I wanted to be great. We both know how this works, right? Yeah, I mean at first everyone's gonna think you got your bad guy. Nobody's gonna let it be that simple. Everyone's gonna have to have their

takes. That's how it works now. Everyone has to take, so if you don't have to take, you don't have a voice. You don't have a voice and you don't exist. So yeah, at first everyone's gonna blame me, but then someone's gonna say, wait a

second, it's a big difference between leaving somebody to die and killing somebody. [Music] Then they're gonna turn to you. What were you doing here in the first place? What was your relationship with her? Why would you exploit a grieving family? Those characters, I mean that's what they're gonna be

famous characters, not famous people. And then they're going to blame the family. I hope they're ready for that. They'll blame the president, the last president, and then it'll start him with the conspiracy theories, and someone will refute the conspiracy theories, and then

One side will make their version like their cause, and the other side will take the other side just to take the other side, and on and on until your story proves the defining truth of our time, which is that everything means everything, so nothing is anything.
