"It's the drugs. He hates drugs. Makes him an unstoppable bull in a China shop. And you know me, I love a good chemical." Jonathan was responsible for most of the drugs in this city and he knew how much Gene hated him for it. He also didn't much like his involvement in the boxing world either. In general, Gene just had a lot of reasons to hate his guts.

"I just ignore it. Look, sometimes people hate you. And you don't really give a shit yourself. That's my current situation." He was happy to just smile at Gene and act a friend, despite the hate.
