You act like you already know everything about everyone. Did you even notice his cane? Do you have any idea how Kalvin got that broken hip?

I don’t know… walking… through his apartment?

Trying to march in Selma in 1965!

Okay I get the point.

There’s a difference between confidence and arrogance, you know. Not everybody feels the need to show off what he knows all the time. A person might have strengths or talents that aren’t obvious right away – especially if he’s being drowned out by someone barreling over him.

I don’t understand why you’re getting so angry. And by the way, that’s a mixed metaphor.

You see? You hear words, but you don’t know how to listen! Just because somebody’s quiet doesn’t mean he doesn’t have an opinion! Just because somebody seems shy doesn’t mean he doesn’t exist! Maybe all that person wants once in a while… is a little recognition…

Wait a minute – who are you talking about?

Why do you always let him talk to me like that?
