"No, Patty. I don't want to go on TV and say these things. You know they're not true."
"You have to. We've got no choice. We're in this together, chi- ... sweetie."
"But you're the one who keeps replying to them. You're the one who never shuts up about them and blames them for everything. I didn't do anything."
"You don't understand, Niki. You never do. If they win, they get it all. My house, my car, my bike. It doesn't matter if any of it is in your name, we're married, they'll still take it all from me... us. Me and you. We have to be a team."
Then it clicked. Niki finally saw the way out, the one that had been staring her in the face for years.
- Who the fuck knows what's really going on there with Pat and his second, better wife. I hope he's getting dumped, but it's going to be obfuscated by his bullshit no matter what. But who knows, maybe having to lie repeatedly for Pat's benefit alone has taken its toll.
Incidentally, I've just started watching 'Kevin Can Fuck Himself', which feels very appropriate for a Man of Pig divorce arc.
