Otis: Boy, you're wasting your life as a writer! You'll never amount to anything!
Me: I'm sorry, did you say something?
Otis: Don't you be acting all stupid, now! You know what I said!
SkittishReflections: Otis, you better shut up! Why do you always have to be mean to everyone?
Otis: *smokes a cigarette and blows it in Ree's face*
SkittishReflections: *coughing hysterically* What the heck, man?! *still coughing hysterically*
Otis: That will get you to mind your own business!
Me: Ree, you okay?
SkittishReflections: *coughing subsides* Yes, I'm fine. *drinks some water* Otis! You're lucky, I don't have asthma!
Matilda: Exactly! Otherwise, you would be in serious trouble! Put that death stick out!
Otis: Nah! *smokes again, and blows smoke in Matilda's face*
Matilda: *coughing hysterically*
Trevor: Give me that! *snatches Otis's cigarette and steps on it* Smoking is bad for your lungs!
Otis: Get me another cigarette, boy!
Trevor: *beats up Otis*
Otis: *getting beat up*
Matilda: *still coughing hysterically*
Me: Babe, you okay?
Matilda: *coughing subsides* Yes, babe. What a jerk he is. *drinks some water* I don't have asthma, either.
Me: Did you have asthma as a child?
Matilda: Nope. I never had asthma, period. But, Otis better not smoke around people that do have it.
Me: Facts.
Trevor: *still beating up Otis*
Otis: *still getting beat up*
