I agree.
You know, this whole thing about... The contents of your head don't belong to somebody else.
That's really interesting, though, that some I wondered, you know, that just before we move on, would you want to know if your partner cheated?
I wonder, is that an automatic?
Yes, of course I would.

Where somebody has a suspicion,
You just know it.
They're not poking at it.
They're not picking the scab.
They just want to see if they can... Keep the status quo going.

I'm mad for climbing.
