tape





i'm sorry
i didn't mean it

but you said
i know i said

but i didn't mean it
but you said



i have it
recorded

right here
you said it

i know i said it
but i was just saying



i didn't mean it
you're a liar

i don't believe you
you said it

you are what you say
i was just kidding



i didn't mean it
honest

honest?
what do

you
know about honest?



you have to believe me
i didn't mean it

i know you
you're a sociopath

i read a book
about you



sociopath?
isn't that kind of

a big word for a
conversation

like this?
go away



i don't like
you any more

i never liked you
how can you

not like me
"any more"



if you never liked me?
there you go

again
being a smarty pants

as well as a
sociopath



i know you
now

i always knew you
how can you

know me
"now"



if you always knew me?
get out

get out
so all this stuff

about the tape
and the book



about the sociopath
is just an

exercise in style
right

if you never
liked me



i said get out
but

it's my room
yes, mine

you don't
believe me



i have the rent receipt
right here

in black
and white

that's just the
kind of thing



a sociopath
would say

like what i have
on the recording

i have the receipt
you have the recording



i guess there is
nothing

more to say
i guess not

sociopath
you should find



a new insult
"sociopath"

is kind of sterile
all right

i'll leave
now



see you around
no you won't

i'm glad
that's over with
