[ He places a hand on your shoulder and his grip is just a bit too tight. ]

[ And then his eyes open and it's like you're staring at the soul of your cousin through a shattered mirror the way his eyes are burning a hole in you with no remorsee. ]

You're comin' with me and takin' your lumps one way or 'nother. And heaven help you if you try to squirm outta this one after complainin' you can't get ahold of the other you for months and months.

We clear?
