I go out, I work my butt off to make a living. All I want is to come home to a nice, clean house, with a nice fat steak on the table, but instead I get this. It looks like poison.

I swear to god, I would not be surprised if it was, the way you skulk around here like a dog been hit too much or ain’t been hit enough. I can’t make up my mind! You’re useless, Beatrice. The only thing that pulls its weight around here is my goddamn truck. **BOOM!** Figures.
