"Well I know you weren't always an arse, but you do enough--if not everything--to make people forget that quite easily. It's as if you just don't want anyone to give a damn about you," Ernie said.
"It can't hurt to even bother to play decent sometimes--it would count for something. But somehow you even have to go out of your way to be an arse--you didn't need to come over to tell everyone off. You know, Justin still spoke rather highly of you prior to your arrival the other day, despite it all. I know we're not perfect, but goodness we've tried forgiving you several times over. I just don't know," Ernie was shaking his head.
