Barely.

Do you realize how pissed
I could be at you right now?

You should've told me about Noah.

No, the truth would've hurt you, though.

So you're saying that even if

you still would've

Yes.

That's what you do

You tell 'em the truth.

So then take your own advice,

You mean with Ruthie?

Yes, you can.

No. It'll destroy everything.
