"You wouldn't tell me the truth when we dated so apparently even you have limits." Sam shot back because he couldn't resist. A little pedantic but hey, Barty loved that about him so he was not toning it down. "I'm glad you try and I appreciate it. And we'll never mesh in our ways of dealing but just -- do me a favour? Never tell me what you do unless I ask. Then be honest."

"Don't hurt anyone with him who's clearly not there cause they want to be. A man like that, he drags people in. Forces them to stay. He takes the passports away from his boyfriends, you know?" He was a real piece of shit. "Not everyone with him is willing."
