Are you mad?

[and_another_war]

[It takes him awhile to notice that Alex F. is talking to him, but when he does, he shakes his head]

Mad as in angry or mad as in crazy? 'cause I don't think I'm either of those, really.

[and_another_war]

[And he leans over to do that. With his hands.]

[faultlesscon]

[and_another_war]

[Probably]

No, I won't start another one.
