NICK: You don’t know it’s not.

NICK: Who? No! I’ve had them on for a while! Before you started talking! And I can still hear you!
ME: You’re protesting too much, dear.
NICK: What? Protesting too much! Well, I never! I don’t know what you mean!

ME: I don’t feel I’m really getting the support here that I need.
