OS: Let me take a wild guess at what your issue is here, sadmad -

MM: - I'll bet I know too.

OS: You're ticked off at Karolina for all the poison-pen stuff she
said about Cat, aren't you?

sadmad: Yeah? So what if I am?

MM: I knew it! You're still sweet on Cat, aren't you?

sadmad: Again, so what if I am? To me, that's beside the point
entirely.

MM: Oh? How so?

sadmad: I want to go back to something you said just a little ways
back, Oliver. You said you thought Karolina was being 'candid' in the
stuff she put out back then, didn't you?

OS: Yeah. Look, sadmad, you said yourself that Karolina shouldn't be
considered a bad person just because she was brutally honest in
stating her lack of interest in David as a guy. So how can she be
considered a bad person simply because she was just as candid in
telling everyone how much she didn't like Cat?

MM: Same thing isn't it?

sadmad: Man, you guys just don't get it, do you? In my mind, the last
time I remember someone being as 'brutally honest' and 'candid' as
Karolina was in her post-show revelations on this and other
mesageboards, was when I saw that guy look right into a bank of
television cameras a few years back and wag his finger at all of us
and say, without blinking, 'Ah did not have sex with that woman!'

OS: Huh?

sadmad: As I said, she's entitled to her opinion about David. That's
not the issue. This applies SPECIFICALLY to the things she implied or
said about Cat. I get so mad when I think of what she was implying
about Cat, I want to put my hand through a wall!

MM: Hey, settle down big guy!

sadmad: The absolute nerve of that (expletive deleted) woman to imply
the things she did about Cat! The absolute (expletive deleted) nerve!
ESPECIALLY with what we know now! It's just UN-(expletive deleted)-
ING unconscionable!

OS: Whoa! Get an ice pack, Michael - he just put his fist through the
wall!
