"Don't you ever curse?"

No.

"Why?"

It's a sin. And it's indecent.

"But a lot of people are doing it."

That doesn't mean I have to follow, too.

"Right. But it makes you a goody-two-shoes."

I'll take that as a compliment.

"Sometimes it means that you think you're better than most people."

It doesn't make me a saint.

"It doesn't make you like us either."

What are you?

"We make a lot of mistakes. We commit the sins you hate so much."

And you think I don't?

"You just do it less."

It's bad enough that you people are stereotyping.

"But what we're saying isn't exactly wrong, is it?"

It's not exactly right either.

"You're confusing."

Everything is confusing.

"You're not making any sense."

I'm not, am I?

"You're quite strange."

You don't know a lot about me.

"Well, I don't. Not really."

And here you go speaking as if I have told you everything.
