Altered Perception Page #2

which means if you're

arrested and convicted again,

then it will be a

mandatory jail sentence.

You mean like my

solicitation charge?

OK.

Yeah, sure, as an example.

You spent two nights in jail?

So if you're arrested

and convicted again,

you will do jail time.

OK, well, that's not

going to happen again.

So why did you have

to bring it up?

I was just answering

your question.

Why did you have to use

my case as an example?

I didn't, you did.

Andrew, are you kidding me?

You just did.

Lorie, I know what I said.

So do I.

Trust me, OK, I listen

to people's testimonies

for a living.

I think I would know.

And I'm just a whore,

so I'm an idiot?

I didn't call you

an idiot or a whore.

You just reminded me that I

was arrested for solicitation.

So that makes me a whore.

And apparently, I can't

have a simple conversation

without forgetting what I say,

so that makes me an idiot.

First of all, the two things

are mutually exclusive.

Secondly...

Don't do that.

You know I don't

know legal terms.

Why are you doing that?

What, mutually exclusive?

Yeah.

It's not a legal term.

Well, I don't know

what it means.

You don't know what

mutually exclusive means?

Lorie, just think

about it for a seconds.

Mutually exclusive.

Don't be condescending, Andrew.

How am I being

condescending right now?

F*** you.

That's how.

So what was your initial

professional assessment

after watching that footage.

The couple indicated to us

that this type of hostility

was common.

At this point, we didn't

see any cause for alarm.

But it escalated, didn't it?

It did.

How much?

Significantly.

What about Emily and Beth?

Did they ever indicate

that there was ever

any violence between them?

No, there was

never any violence.

Beth and I have been together

for about two years now.

And until recently, things

have been wonderful.

Emily is the love of my life.

Before this thing happened,

well, she was the one

that I was going to marry.

We were at a party at

Emily's boss's house.

I noticed Beth was being

a little bit friendlier,

some might say

flirty, with Justin.

And to be honest, it did

bother me a little bit.

Beth says she's not

attracted to men.

But I'm not so sure.

I find men attractive,

just not sexually.

I had a boyfriend before.

Because I thought it was

what I was supposed to do.

I think she secretly

thinks I'm craving cock.

Excuse my expression.

You're going to have

to give me time, OK?

I need to work things

out with Beth first.

I love you too.

But she's going to be my wife.

Look, I got to go.

I'll talk to you later, OK?

OK, bye.

Who was that?

Work.

What?

Well, either you

love someone at work,
