[Yes, David. He's watching you. And he snaps his fingers as if he's just remembered something.]
I figured it out. I realized why you bother me.
You're arrogant.
You're arrogant, and you have this sense of entitlement, and expect the entire world to just open up to you because of all the shit you've been through - and it has been shit. Well, guess what. It doesn't work that way.
And the worst part is, the easiest way to learn and get what you want is open to you, but you never take it. You never ask.
You never ask. You. Never. Ask. You steal, manipulate, kidnap, and torture, but you never ask.
You want to know how old I am? Ask me. You want to know how many people I've killed? Ask me. You want to know where I'm from, what my life is like, why I'm here instead of somewhere I'd actually prefer to be?
Fucking ask me.
Contrary to what you may think about me, I am not a mind-reader. I can't tell the future. And maybe if I'd known you were gonna be my inmate, I wouldn't have put you into a wall the first time we met. Because that made me an enemy in your eyes, I think. And you haven't let me out of the enemy column enough to realize that even if you don't like me and even if I'm frankly not thrilled to warden you, I am here to help you. If you have a problem - especially a problem with me - you let me know so I can fix it, goddamn it!

[Wow, he actually looks angry.]
