- But not with a guard!

- Don't be an idiot!

- Under your pillow.

- Huh?

- Under your pillow.

- Sh*t!

- Antonio used to talk a lot more.

When he was 9 or 10,

he used to talk all the time.

Don't you care if she dances

the tango with that guard?

Maybe you get it

but it goes right over my head.

Don't think it's normal.

What am, crazy?

Just have a sh*t and shut up.
