Joe: "Look, I told you not to play my ps3. You always scratch the discs and never put them back in..."

Jenkins: "I just wanted you to come out for a beer, but no. You had to leave me hanging by myself and I got kicked out of the bar and..."
You: "Calm down, James Brown. I had my own shit to deal with."
