I became a defending attorney. 1180 01:23:25,250 --> 01:23:28,795 The irony being that everyone assumes I'm fucking lying anyhow. 1181 01:23:29,380 --> 01:23:32,173 So I made myself this little promise that 1182 01:23:35,386 --> 01:23:38,930 I would reserve my lies for other than my public life. 1183 01:23:51,610 --> 01:23:54,779 You print any of this, I'll sue your fucking ass. 1184 01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:23,224 All right, all right, so I made a little mistake. 1185 01:24:23,308 --> 01:24:24,809 No shit. 1186 01:24:25,686 --> 01:24:29,063 What do you want?
