See, in the paper, that's what they call me, a madman, with a gun in his hand. 165 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:35,160 You never know what a madman will do, Martin. It takes nerve to stand there looking at me like that. No expression. Cold. 166 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:49,160 They should put a drink in your hand and photograph you. Oh, yes, we could read the magazines in Bellevue. Those that wouldn't excite us with the staples removed. But Martin, you're not listening to me. You're watching the door. 167 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:54,160 Relax, Martin.
