Sandy : Michael, just be honest with me. Tell me the truth! For once in your life, tell me the truth. Because these stories, they are very demeaning to me. No matter how bad the truth is, it doesn't tear you apart inside like dishonesty. Dishonesty! At least it leaves you with some self-respect and some dignity.
