Why do you think, Bash? No one could fucking compare. I’d have given Jules the world. She’s everything. She always has been. She didn’t deserve some asshole who couldn’t keep it in his pants. She deserves someone who knows how damn special she is and would treat her right. I would have done that. Fuck, Bash, even though I didn’t deserve her, I’d have never used her.”
