There are always better things to do, but I would never subject you to the undoubtedly vast attention of our family without my unyielding support. Unless it's very, very boring. We may need to drink first.
Just trying to goad me into some sort of poorly executed discussion on the topic. Asking if I'd heard about the explosion, as if anyone could avoid it. I informed him that if he didn't cease and desist I'd make certain he'd find himself in the next one.
Didn't even have the gall to buy me a drink first. Apparently the bomb killed over a hundred people and the social propriety of everyone else in the city.
