Erwin- The truth is I've had some bad luck lately. To be honest guys it's more like my shitty judgement has come back to bite me on the ass. yaa did yaadida...people. Go figure, They sucked me up and chewed me out(getting dramatic) I used to be the man the best,and so they took advantage. Used me and abused me. I stayed big, but the pictures got small. They know nothing about film. Nothing I tell you. Not about me or mywork. (choking up) They were..I don't know...

Kevin - I respect that. What happened.

Cordelia from the back - might it be this tape? Chuck Norris movie. Kevin?

Erwin - oh my god.

Cordelia - Chuck Norris Movie. The best clip ever. Exclamation mark Exclamation mark. Exclamation mark. In your handwriting Kevin.
