[This is such a vague and unclear statement that Dirk literally can't tell what's being hidden. Is Dave lying to him about wanting it or is Dave lying to him about not wanting it?

You've indicated more than once that you can't handle having something from me and then havin' it ripped away. It's the reason I've been tryin' to make my suggestions things that could be consistent. Like I said, I don't want to insist on helping you and actually do more damage in the process.
