Quote from Piama in Hal Coaches
Francis: Look, I'm going to ask you one last time, for the sake of our marriage, what did you do? Piama: [whispers] Took her parakeet. Francis: What? Piama: I took her parakeet! Francis: You stole the woman's pet? The woman's pet?! Piama: You protect the people you love. I figured you would do the same for me. Francis: But I would tell you. And if I was gonna grab someone's parakeet and hold it hostage... Well, jee, I wouldn't do that. How long were you going to keep it for, anyway? Piama: 'Til she behaved. And if she didn't, I guess I'd have killed it. Francis: See?! That's where it gets alarming again. But putting aside the horrible nature of the act itself, what's upsetting is, you made this unilateral decision- Piama: I said I was sorry! How many times do you want me to say it? Francis: You didn't say you were sorry.
