‘And like I said, I'm not telling you this to say I saw it coming. After something happens everybody wants to say they told everyone it was going to, they saw it from way off, they know the moment they knew exactly when it was going to happen, they probably even know when they picked their pointy finger off that final pint and poked it at your face and told you it was going to happen. They’re liars. No f**ker saw this coming. I didn’t see it coming even after it had happened. But it was coming, nonetheless.’
