"That I can't even express that, that you hear something different that makes you feel like you're a bother or that I'm disappointed, that's my problem. As soon as someone else was there to see how I treated you, you know--You got yourself out of that awful place. You made the shell. You're extraordinary, sweetheart, and you shouldn't be letting me take any of that credit."
