Manny: Hello, Jay.
Jay: What are you doing up?
Manny: Waiting.
Jay: Waiting for what?
Manny: The truth. It wasn't a raccoon, was it?
Jay: Oh, all right. You got me. I killed Shel. All right? I'm sorry. It was an accident.
Manny: Why didn't you just tell me?
Jay: Because I didn't want you to be upset with me. You and I got off to a rocky start. Lately, it's been pretty good. I was afraid I'd mess all that up if you knew that I was the one that killed your pet.
Manny: Now you're the guy who killed my pet and made a stupid lie about it.
Jay: Well, I don't think it was stupid. I thought it was pretty clever. I was just trying to avoid past mistakes.
