Paramour: Because EVERYBODY knows Janey. TOLLBOOTH JANE, we call her. It’s no secret.

Father: Well, MOST PEOPLE are polite enough not to mention it to my FACE.
Paramour: But you KNOW, right? You HAVE to know.

Father: I… I have my suspicions.
Paramour: What about that PHOTO SPREAD in your CHRISTMAS NEWSLETTER?!
Father: I like to HIT people OKAY
