I'm not bowing to his demands, Arty. It's a matter of pride. I want to meet Schwarz standards, as a rule, but the idea of being thought weak is an insult no matter who the source is - the fact that it's someone who knows me well, and by whose standards Schwarz is judged, just means it's impossible to ignore. I'm not weak, and I don't need support no matter what he thinks. I may want it, but I can go without if it means I'd have to sacrifice respect to get it.
I don't have any standards, Arty. Don't you know me better than that by now?
It's a double punishment because it means that first I have to fall apart, and then I have to bear witness to your falling apart. The shock of one building collapsing can topple others.
