Donnie:
Good morning.

Jim Cunningham:
Good morning.

Donnie:
Um... how much are they paying you to be here?

Jim Cunningham:

Donnie:
Gerard.

Jim Cunningham:
Gerald, I think you're afraid.

Donnie:

Jim Cunningham:

Donnie:

You know, it takes a little- little while to find that out. Right, Jim? And you. Yeah, you. Sick of some jerk shoving your head down the toilet? Well, you know what? Maybe you should lift some weights or, uh, take a karate lesson. And the next time he tries to do it, you kick him in the balls!

Jim Cunningham:

Donnie:

Jim Cunningham:

Donnie:

Jim Cunningham:

Donnie:
You're right, actually. I am pretty- I'm pretty troubled and I'm pretty confused, but I... And I'm afraid. Really, really afraid. Really afraid. But I- I think you're the f***ing Antichrist.
