I'm tempted to hug you for that, Herm. [That defense of him was embarrassingly meaningful and Newt couldn't even look at him. It kind of hurt to think he had needed to be told that, and hurt, too, to reveal this aspect of himself to Hermann in the first place.]

But, don't...yell at her, I mean. She's my mom, she's not a great one, but she's the one I've got. I love her. Just let me be an awful, stingy son and not share my friends and crap.
