You have the mind and ego of an angry, spoiled, uneducated child. And that's what makes you so **** scary. Nicholas Garrigan I didn't want him to die though. Idi Amin But you did it. Why? You want to know why? Nicholas Garrigan Yes. Idi Amin You did it because you love me. Nicholas Garrigan I can't. It **** stinks.
