"I-- I'm sorry. I just... I felt it more strongly than them. And... god, I... well, I'm sorry. I guess that was what I wanted to say." He raised an eyebrow. "I know, it sounds weird, cos, like, I hate her, but... you don't. And... and... and what the hell was that thing with Roger there?"

"Wow, you just tried to change the subject, didn't you? Well, you haven't changed the subject. Not really. I've been around awhile. I... know things. And... Roger is going to have to tell you himself. It would be unfair for me to say more."
