When you placed the dog defecation in the... No, no, no, no, no. It's not part of your defense, right? I do that every day. No, no, my defense is simply that I... We're not blaming Yasha Monk. Okay. I mean, most things are Yasha Monk's fault, but the relevance of Yasha Monk's book was really that I didn't notice. I was aware that a woman was shouting.

You read it and you'll see that it leads to cruelty.
