1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:01,767
You decided to move out.

2
00:00:01,834 --> 00:00:04,100
He got back one night, drunk again.

3
00:00:04,166 --> 00:00:05,667
Essentially tries to fight me.

4
00:00:05,734 --> 00:00:07,200
Do you have a drinking problem?

5
00:00:07,266 --> 00:00:08,533
When I'm around him, I do.

6
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,967
He actually punched my windshield.

7
00:00:11,033 --> 00:00:13,600
He was driving and hitting me
at the same time.

8
00:00:13,667 --> 00:00:15,967
And instead of hitting him,
I hit his window.

9
00:00:16,033 --> 00:00:17,467
Why would you call his mother?

10
00:00:17,533 --> 00:00:19,166
He actually had blocked me.

11
00:00:19,233 --> 00:00:21,166
[Acker] You've known
each other since sixth grade,

12
00:00:21,233 --> 00:00:23,834
and you still think
you're in kindergarten. Grow up.

13
00:00:23,900 --> 00:00:26,400
[narrator]
Now, on Tribunal Justice…

14
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:28,400
[main theme playing]

15
00:00:48,533 --> 00:00:51,333
[narrator] Today's case
was filed in Clayton, Missouri.

16
00:00:52,433 --> 00:00:56,367
Your Honor, this is case #3059,
Yungermann vs. Cline.

17
00:00:56,433 --> 00:00:58,834
All parties have been sworn in.
You may be seated.

18
00:00:58,900 --> 00:01:00,967
-[Levy] Thank you.
-[Britt] You're welcome.

19
00:01:01,033 --> 00:01:03,934
Mr. Yungermann, you and the defendant
were former best friends.

20
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,200
Uh, yes, sir.

21
00:01:05,266 --> 00:01:07,400
You rented a two-bedroom apartment,
according to your complaint.

22
00:01:07,467 --> 00:01:09,600
-Correct.
-[Levy] You both signed a lease.

23
00:01:09,667 --> 00:01:14,166
So, you are suing the defendant
for $3,632 for back rent

24
00:01:14,233 --> 00:01:17,967
and late fees, because
he did not pay his share of the rent

25
00:01:18,033 --> 00:01:21,800
for the last three months of the lease
that you two had together.

26
00:01:21,867 --> 00:01:23,400
-Correct?
-Correct.

27
00:01:23,467 --> 00:01:26,300
Now, Mr. Cline, you acknowledge,
according to your answer,

28
00:01:26,367 --> 00:01:28,900
that you did not pay the rent
for the last three months,

29
00:01:28,967 --> 00:01:31,467
but claim that
you don't owe the plaintiff anything

30
00:01:31,533 --> 00:01:34,767
because you never asked him
to cover those three months' rent.

31
00:01:34,834 --> 00:01:35,834
Yes.

32
00:01:35,900 --> 00:01:37,866
Mr. Yungermann, you're the plaintiff.
Your burden of proof.

33
00:01:37,934 --> 00:01:40,934
Can you tell us how long you
and the defendant have known each other?

34
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,767
Uh, yeah, so, we met, I want to say,
in maybe like sixth grade.

35
00:01:45,834 --> 00:01:49,265
Um, we actually roomed together
freshman year of college.

36
00:01:49,333 --> 00:01:52,433
He actually dropped out,
so he left a little bit early.

37
00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:53,834
I stayed, got my degree.

38
00:01:53,900 --> 00:01:59,033
And then, the plan originally was
to move into a house.

39
00:01:59,100 --> 00:02:02,266
But kind of, honestly,
the same situation happened then.

40
00:02:02,333 --> 00:02:04,533
[Levy] Okay,
before we get into the situation,

41
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:05,834
-Sure, sure.
-That's just the history.

42
00:02:05,900 --> 00:02:07,900
Mr. Cline, do you agree
with everything he's said?

43
00:02:07,967 --> 00:02:09,633
Is there anything that's inaccurate?

44
00:02:09,699 --> 00:02:11,800
We met each other in second grade.

45
00:02:11,867 --> 00:02:13,700
-[Levy] Second grade.
-Not sixth grade.

46
00:02:13,767 --> 00:02:15,800
[Louis] I don't believe
that is accurate at all.

47
00:02:15,867 --> 00:02:17,966
Suffice it to say,
it's been a real long time.

48
00:02:18,033 --> 00:02:19,900
We might've known each other kind of,

49
00:02:19,966 --> 00:02:22,166
but we weren't really friends
in second grade.

50
00:02:22,233 --> 00:02:25,400
That's okay. When was it
that you guys signed this lease together?

51
00:02:25,466 --> 00:02:29,767
Uh, it was like in August of '23.

52
00:02:29,834 --> 00:02:32,033
[Levy]
Twenty-three. And just so we're all clear,

53
00:02:32,100 --> 00:02:35,667
according to the lease you provided,
it was August 16th, 2023,

54
00:02:35,734 --> 00:02:38,233
to August 15th, 2024.

55
00:02:38,300 --> 00:02:40,066
And how much was the rent?

56
00:02:40,133 --> 00:02:41,567
I think it was $1,480.

57
00:02:41,633 --> 00:02:42,966
[Levy]
How about $1,448?

58
00:02:43,033 --> 00:02:44,033
That sounds, yeah.

59
00:02:44,100 --> 00:02:46,300
And there were monthly expenses
with that as well,

60
00:02:46,367 --> 00:02:48,033
-that were tacked onto that.
-[Louis] Correct.

61
00:02:48,100 --> 00:02:50,600
There was a pet fee.
He had a dog.

62
00:02:50,667 --> 00:02:51,800
[Levy]
What kind of dog?

63
00:02:51,867 --> 00:02:53,266
-Chocolate Lab.
-[Levy] All right.

64
00:02:53,333 --> 00:02:57,500
It was a $50 pet fee, I think,
$40 or $50.

65
00:02:57,567 --> 00:03:00,967
And then, he paid an additional $100
each month.

66
00:03:01,033 --> 00:03:05,200
And that was just due to
him having a much larger room than me.

67
00:03:05,266 --> 00:03:09,567
So, would it be fair to say the split was
$624 a month from you,

68
00:03:09,633 --> 00:03:13,900
$824 from the defendant.
And then, on top of that

69
00:03:13,967 --> 00:03:16,567
-were the additional utility fees.
-Correct.

70
00:03:16,633 --> 00:03:20,400
And Mr. Cline, with respect to the rent,
how was it that you were paying the rent?

71
00:03:20,466 --> 00:03:25,100
Uh, I started out paying
from my card onto the app.

72
00:03:25,166 --> 00:03:28,867
Once I missed a few payments,
they didn't allow me to do that,

73
00:03:28,934 --> 00:03:31,767
so then I started paying
with a cashier's check.

74
00:03:31,834 --> 00:03:34,133
[Levy] And there were a couple
of bounced checks, as well.

75
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,166
-Well, no. No checks bounced from me.
-[Levy] None.

76
00:03:37,233 --> 00:03:39,900
Only direct payments
I made from the app.

77
00:03:39,966 --> 00:03:42,466
A direct deposit
that there was insufficient funds?

78
00:03:42,533 --> 00:03:43,800
-Correct.
-[Levy] I understand.

79
00:03:43,867 --> 00:03:47,500
Okay, so Mr. Yungermann,
you signed the lease in August, 2023.

80
00:03:47,567 --> 00:03:50,066
You move in.
Things go pretty well in the beginning?

81
00:03:50,133 --> 00:03:55,300
No. The first day Andrew
actually moved into the unit,

82
00:03:55,367 --> 00:03:57,834
we were hangin' out, you know,
drinkin' some beers,

83
00:03:57,900 --> 00:04:02,367
watchin' TV. He left the room,
and one of my other friends called me.

84
00:04:02,433 --> 00:04:05,266
He comes back in while I'm on the phone
with my other friend

85
00:04:05,333 --> 00:04:07,834
and starts getting mad at me
because I tried to make plans

86
00:04:07,900 --> 00:04:10,567
basically with my other friend group.
And he didn't like that.

87
00:04:10,633 --> 00:04:12,667
He's like, I just thought we were
gonna hang out tonight.

88
00:04:12,734 --> 00:04:14,133
He was gettin' all upset about it.

89
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,867
Then ultimately, it led to us
going out that night.

90
00:04:16,934 --> 00:04:20,500
And he actually punched my windshield,
and cracked it and broke it,

91
00:04:20,567 --> 00:04:22,367
and I had to pay to get it replaced.

92
00:04:22,433 --> 00:04:23,900
[Levy]
And what month was this?

93
00:04:23,967 --> 00:04:25,100
[Louis]
August.

94
00:04:25,166 --> 00:04:27,166
[Levy] At the time,
between August and December,

95
00:04:27,233 --> 00:04:28,467
-were you employed?
-Correct.

96
00:04:28,533 --> 00:04:30,800
[Levy] How were you supporting yourself?
What were you doing?

97
00:04:30,867 --> 00:04:33,767
-Uh, logistics.
-I'm not exactly sure what that is.

98
00:04:33,834 --> 00:04:35,200
But that's okay, you had a job.

99
00:04:35,266 --> 00:04:36,834
-Yep. Still have the same job.
-All right.

100
00:04:36,900 --> 00:04:39,200
Mr. Cline, August to December of '23.
Employed?

101
00:04:39,266 --> 00:04:40,900
-[Andrew] Yes.
-What were you doing?

102
00:04:40,967 --> 00:04:43,300
I was running a full-service car wash.

103
00:04:43,367 --> 00:04:45,800
Were you working there?
You were running it as a manager?

104
00:04:45,867 --> 00:04:47,000
Yes.

105
00:04:47,066 --> 00:04:50,166
The car wash position we was alluding to,
he actually got fired from.

106
00:04:50,233 --> 00:04:52,433
He didn't just willingly leave.

107
00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:54,367
-Can I explain?
-[Levy] Of course.

108
00:04:54,433 --> 00:04:58,433
So, when I was working
for the full-service car wash,

109
00:04:58,500 --> 00:05:01,834
I worked there up until January 10th,
actually.

110
00:05:01,900 --> 00:05:06,133
The reason it was January 10th was
because the original employer I had

111
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,867
was also a express car wash.

112
00:05:08,934 --> 00:05:13,300
-I signed a non-compete with them, yes.
-Non-compete?

113
00:05:13,367 --> 00:05:15,734
We ended up going to court
on January 10th.

114
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,332
I agreed to quit my job
from the full-service car wash,

115
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,567
resulting in me not having a job
from January 10th on.

116
00:05:23,633 --> 00:05:27,734
Okay. Was there ever an allegation
that you were acting inappropriately,

117
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,233
-or that you failed to perform any duties?
-No.

118
00:05:30,300 --> 00:05:33,433
I quit that job.
I got another job afterwards,

119
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:36,867
and then they sued me
for the non-compete…

120
00:05:36,933 --> 00:05:39,300
The most important thing
that I'm hearing, though,

121
00:05:39,367 --> 00:05:41,834
is that you were not fired for cause.

122
00:05:41,900 --> 00:05:43,332
-No.
-[Louis] That's a lie.

123
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,700
He was fired.
He worked for two separate car washes.

124
00:05:47,767 --> 00:05:50,200
He says one thing, you say another.

125
00:05:50,266 --> 00:05:51,933
-I know it's a credibility issue.
-Sure.

126
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,300
[Levy] Maybe we'll figure it out,
maybe we won't.

127
00:05:54,367 --> 00:05:56,700
I want to focus on the money issue
right now.

128
00:05:56,767 --> 00:06:00,433
-Because you have $3,632 at risk.
-[Louis] Okay.

129
00:06:00,500 --> 00:06:03,567
So, the money issue started
around the time,

130
00:06:03,633 --> 00:06:07,000
I think, November to January,
somewhere in that time period.

131
00:06:07,066 --> 00:06:10,166
Because he was working
at the first car wash

132
00:06:10,233 --> 00:06:13,333
when we moved in together,
and then he got fired from there.

133
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,300
He actually came into the apartment
and said, "It finally happened,

134
00:06:16,367 --> 00:06:18,734
they finally fired me."
He wasn't getting a paycheck,

135
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,000
-so he was just working temp jobs.
-Okay.

136
00:06:22,066 --> 00:06:25,533
Temp jobs just wasn't enough
to cover the rent on time sometimes.

137
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,800
So then, I, um, covered the portion of it,
his portion,

138
00:06:29,867 --> 00:06:32,233
-and he would pay me back later on.
-Okay.

139
00:06:32,300 --> 00:06:36,367
And then, he did find the other,
second car wash job

140
00:06:36,433 --> 00:06:39,633
around like mid-December
to January.

141
00:06:39,700 --> 00:06:43,200
Then, once he started getting paychecks
for that, it got more consistent again.

142
00:06:43,266 --> 00:06:45,266
But then, the non-compete thing happened

143
00:06:45,332 --> 00:06:48,433
because of his original car wash job
that he got fired from,

144
00:06:48,500 --> 00:06:50,900
sued him, or sued for the non-compete,

145
00:06:50,967 --> 00:06:54,667
and they had to settle that in court
before he could start working there again.

146
00:06:54,734 --> 00:06:56,066
I get it. Fine.

147
00:06:56,133 --> 00:06:58,834
But the most important
thing, of all of what you just said,

148
00:06:58,900 --> 00:07:01,467
is that it was not for cause. Right?

149
00:07:01,533 --> 00:07:02,667
-Correct.
-[Levy] Fine.

150
00:07:02,734 --> 00:07:06,033
Now, there were some personal problems
that you had with the defendant,

151
00:07:06,100 --> 00:07:09,867
according to your complaint
between January and February of 2024.

152
00:07:09,934 --> 00:07:11,266
-Correct.
-Go ahead.

153
00:07:11,333 --> 00:07:17,166
So, we went out for New Year's Eve,
and Andrew was very intoxicated.

154
00:07:17,233 --> 00:07:18,533
I mean, it was New Year's Eve.

155
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,367
I had multiple people
coming up to me that night, my friends,

156
00:07:21,433 --> 00:07:24,166
saying he seemed aggressive.
He was trying to fight people.

157
00:07:24,233 --> 00:07:25,967
I know. Hearsay, not really interested.

158
00:07:26,033 --> 00:07:31,300
Sure. Get back to the room,
Andrew pushes me on the ground.

159
00:07:31,367 --> 00:07:33,133
Essentially tries to fight me.

160
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,700
I just go in my room, go to bed.

161
00:07:35,767 --> 00:07:38,633
And then, I decide
just from that situation,

162
00:07:38,700 --> 00:07:42,000
and kind of all the other situations
about him punching out my window,

163
00:07:42,066 --> 00:07:44,200
the other arguments we got in,
I'm just like,

164
00:07:44,266 --> 00:07:46,700
I don't really want to talk to him
anymore.

165
00:07:46,767 --> 00:07:50,100
Got it. And Mr. Cline, did
something happen on New Year's Eve…

166
00:07:50,166 --> 00:07:53,000
Can I just touch
on the whole window thing?

167
00:07:53,066 --> 00:07:56,533
The reason that happened
is 'cause he was literally hitting me.

168
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,567
He was driving and hitting me
at the same time,

169
00:07:59,633 --> 00:08:02,734
saying, you annoy the… out of me.
I hate you!

170
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,233
And instead of hitting him,
I hit his window.

171
00:08:05,300 --> 00:08:06,967
I got it. Let's go to something…

172
00:08:07,033 --> 00:08:09,867
He acts like he never does anything wrong
and it's always me.

173
00:08:09,934 --> 00:08:12,400
It's gonna be a common thing
going on here.

174
00:08:12,467 --> 00:08:13,967
[dramatic music playing]

175
00:08:14,033 --> 00:08:16,300
[narrator]
Coming up on Tribunal Justice…

176
00:08:16,367 --> 00:08:18,800
You signed a lease.
You don't get to not pay a lease

177
00:08:18,867 --> 00:08:20,400
'cause you got mad at your friend.

178
00:08:20,467 --> 00:08:22,667
You don't get to go swearing
at somebody's mother

179
00:08:22,734 --> 00:08:24,700
'cause he's drunk
and starts beating on you.

180
00:08:27,767 --> 00:08:29,433
[main theme playing]

181
00:08:29,500 --> 00:08:32,133
[narrator] Louis Yungermann
is suing childhood friend

182
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,567
and roommate Andrew Cline
for $3,600 in rent and late fees.

183
00:08:36,633 --> 00:08:40,500
But Andrew says if he owes anyone money,
it's the landlord, not Louis,

184
00:08:40,567 --> 00:08:44,066
and that Louis crossed the line
when he threatened Andrew's mother.

185
00:08:44,133 --> 00:08:46,633
Did something happen on December 31st,
New Year's Eve?

186
00:08:46,700 --> 00:08:50,200
Mr. Louis over here
really wanted to go

187
00:08:50,266 --> 00:08:53,600
to East St. Louis, Missouri,
to go to a strip club.

188
00:08:53,667 --> 00:08:56,900
I did not want to go.
I'm too drunk to get in anyway.

189
00:08:56,967 --> 00:08:59,633
I'm a little upset
that he was upset with me.

190
00:08:59,700 --> 00:09:02,367
So, I laid into him and yelled at him.

191
00:09:02,433 --> 00:09:05,133
Hundred percent.
Should I have done that? No.

192
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,333
Okay, I get it. So, there came a time
when you decided to move out.

193
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:09,734
-[Louis] Correct.
-[Levy] When?

194
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,233
So, it was, um, like I said,
I wasn't talking to him for awhile

195
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:15,567
after the whole strip club incident.

196
00:09:15,633 --> 00:09:17,667
And he actually
almost got arrested that night.

197
00:09:17,734 --> 00:09:19,667
I kind of helped him
from getting arrested.

198
00:09:19,734 --> 00:09:21,266
-[Levy] Keep going.
-[Andrew] This guy.

199
00:09:21,333 --> 00:09:25,266
-Anyway, he left that out.
-Hearsay, hearsay.

200
00:09:25,333 --> 00:09:28,100
If we had unlimited time,
I'd love to hear the stories.

201
00:09:28,166 --> 00:09:29,500
But we're gonna try to move forward

202
00:09:29,567 --> 00:09:31,967
and figure out whether or not
you're gonna get this money.

203
00:09:32,033 --> 00:09:37,533
So, I was not communicating with him
for a couple, probably a month and a half.

204
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,133
-[Levy] It was uncomfortable.
-[Louis] It was awkward.

205
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,533
Um, so he got back one night,
drunk again.

206
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,066
He currently wasn't working still
due to the non-compete thing.

207
00:09:46,133 --> 00:09:49,165
I had to wake up the next day,
so I just opened my door

208
00:09:49,233 --> 00:09:51,165
and kinda politely said, hey,
can you keep it down?

209
00:09:51,233 --> 00:09:54,734
I gotta work tomorrow.
Then that kinda set him off like crazy.

210
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,200
Like saying,
"The only way you're gonna shut me up

211
00:09:57,266 --> 00:09:59,500
is if you blow my head off with a shotgun.

212
00:09:59,567 --> 00:10:01,600
-I hope you kill yourself."
-[Levy] Who?

213
00:10:01,667 --> 00:10:04,533
Me blow his head off
with a shotgun.

214
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:05,967
[Levy]
Do you remember that?

215
00:10:06,033 --> 00:10:07,266
-Oh, yeah.
-[Levy] Okay.

216
00:10:07,333 --> 00:10:10,500
He said he hopes I kill myself,
that kind of stuff.

217
00:10:10,567 --> 00:10:12,867
-[Levy] Were you drinking, Mr. Cline?
-[Andrew] Yeah.

218
00:10:12,934 --> 00:10:15,300
Mr. Cline, do you have a drinking problem?

219
00:10:15,367 --> 00:10:16,967
When I'm around him, I do.

220
00:10:17,033 --> 00:10:19,200
[Levy]
Have you ever been arrested for DUI?

221
00:10:19,266 --> 00:10:20,200
Yes.

222
00:10:20,266 --> 00:10:22,567
[Levy] That resolved itself
with some type of treatment?

223
00:10:22,633 --> 00:10:23,533
No.

224
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,900
[Levy] You never had to go to a DUI course
or nothing like that?

225
00:10:26,967 --> 00:10:27,900
Nope.

226
00:10:27,967 --> 00:10:29,800
Now, let's go back to the lawsuit.

227
00:10:29,867 --> 00:10:32,767
June, 2024,
you were already out in March.

228
00:10:32,834 --> 00:10:35,967
April, May, June. You're out those months,
you still pay your rent.

229
00:10:36,033 --> 00:10:37,233
-Correct.
-[Levy] In June,

230
00:10:37,300 --> 00:10:40,200
according to your complaint,
you tried paying your rent online

231
00:10:40,266 --> 00:10:44,266
and you noticed an
outstanding balance of $2,285.

232
00:10:44,333 --> 00:10:45,333
Correct.

233
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,667
You called the property manager,
and you found out

234
00:10:48,734 --> 00:10:51,133
that he also failed to pay
his utility bills.

235
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,967
So, to avoid eviction,
you paid the outstanding rent,

236
00:10:55,033 --> 00:10:59,133
late fees, utility bills, with
a cashier's check for $3,097.

237
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:00,333
-Correct?
-Correct.

238
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,200
-[Levy] You admit that, Mr. Cline?
-Yes, sir.

239
00:11:02,266 --> 00:11:03,266
[Levy]
Fine. Judge Acker.

240
00:11:03,333 --> 00:11:07,667
I don't really have a lot for you
because the two of you have a lot.

241
00:11:07,734 --> 00:11:09,734
But let me just ask you, Mr. Cline,

242
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,834
tell me what you think a lease means.

243
00:11:12,900 --> 00:11:16,367
Uh, it's an agreement to pay
for a certain period of time.

244
00:11:16,433 --> 00:11:21,233
And is there a provision that says that,
you know, you don't have to pay

245
00:11:21,300 --> 00:11:24,166
when you get into a fight with your friend
who you've known?

246
00:11:24,233 --> 00:11:25,333
I don't think so.

247
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,934
Can we put up Exhibit Three, please?

248
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,100
Because as I see the facts of this case,

249
00:11:32,165 --> 00:11:36,500
your liability doesn't really seem
to be hard for me to resolve

250
00:11:36,567 --> 00:11:40,233
because you in fact, at one point
in time, were going to pay him.

251
00:11:40,300 --> 00:11:41,300
[Andrew]
No.

252
00:11:41,367 --> 00:11:42,734
You never said you were gonna pay him?

253
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,433
Uh, are those real texts?
I don't know that I sent those.

254
00:11:46,500 --> 00:11:49,967
[Acker] You don't? You're disputing
the veracity of the texts?

255
00:11:50,033 --> 00:11:52,300
Let's put up Exhibit One, please.

256
00:11:53,367 --> 00:11:56,100
This is evidence
that the plaintiff submitted

257
00:11:56,165 --> 00:11:58,266
about communications
between the two of you

258
00:11:58,333 --> 00:11:59,934
when he was trying to get his money

259
00:12:00,066 --> 00:12:01,367
-for the rent.
-[Andrew] Okay.

260
00:12:01,433 --> 00:12:03,100
-[Acker] I'll let you read it.
-[Andrew] Okay.

261
00:12:03,166 --> 00:12:05,834
"This is the honest truth.
I'm sorry this happened, Louis.

262
00:12:05,900 --> 00:12:08,433
I really am."
Sorry, I need some glasses.

263
00:12:08,500 --> 00:12:11,734
"I thought I could just make it work.
I thought I made a payment

264
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,633
to zero the balance out,
and I made an honest mistake

265
00:12:14,700 --> 00:12:16,667
where that payment went."

266
00:12:16,734 --> 00:12:19,400
-Mr. Yungermann…
-[Louis] Yeah.

267
00:12:19,467 --> 00:12:21,467
-you submitted this text.
-[Louis] Correct.

268
00:12:21,533 --> 00:12:23,600
[Acker]
Tell me what this purports to be.

269
00:12:23,667 --> 00:12:26,300
'Cause the defendant's raised questions
about its accuracy.

270
00:12:26,367 --> 00:12:29,533
Correct. So, this is kind of
the initial text that I sent Andrew

271
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,333
when I realized we were so back due
on rent.

272
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,633
The amount, it was like $3,000 in back…

273
00:12:35,700 --> 00:12:39,667
It was my portion of that month's rent
plus what he owed from delinquencies.

274
00:12:39,734 --> 00:12:45,700
And that screen shot is actually an email
that he sent to the leasing office

275
00:12:45,767 --> 00:12:49,333
in an attempt to try to negotiate
some type of payment plan…

276
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:50,934
[Acker]
Thank you. So, Mr. Cline,

277
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,834
-does that sound at all familiar to you?
-No, I don't.

278
00:12:53,900 --> 00:12:55,934
-I said that?
-[Acker] Yeah, you said that.

279
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,600
-You know, you're in court today.
-[Andrew] Yeah.

280
00:12:58,667 --> 00:13:00,600
-Before you came to court…
-Okay.

281
00:13:00,667 --> 00:13:05,000
you swore out an answer, you signed it.
And here's what you said.

282
00:13:05,066 --> 00:13:08,700
You said, regarding this lawsuit,
"I already had an agreement

283
00:13:08,767 --> 00:13:12,767
with my property manager."
What is the evidence of the agreement?

284
00:13:12,834 --> 00:13:16,800
I guess I technically
don't have any evidence for it.

285
00:13:16,867 --> 00:13:21,100
So, you don't have any evidence for
any agreement with the property manager.

286
00:13:21,166 --> 00:13:25,000
You also said in your answer
that the plaintiff

287
00:13:25,066 --> 00:13:28,633
sent disrespectful and harassing messages
to your mother.

288
00:13:28,700 --> 00:13:30,533
I'm gonna pull up the text message.

289
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,433
You did reach out
to the defendant's mother.

290
00:13:32,500 --> 00:13:33,633
Yes, mm-hmm.

291
00:13:33,700 --> 00:13:37,066
-Before we go back to Mr. Cline on that…
-Yes.

292
00:13:37,133 --> 00:13:40,533
'cause he seems
to have some memory issues.

293
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,300
Mm-hmm. [chuckles] Too drunk.

294
00:13:42,367 --> 00:13:44,500
-[laughs] You might be.
-Yeah.

295
00:13:44,567 --> 00:13:46,667
[Acker] You might be.
At least you're a happy drunk.

296
00:13:46,734 --> 00:13:49,400
Except when you're punching him.

297
00:13:49,467 --> 00:13:52,165
[overlapping chatter]

298
00:13:52,233 --> 00:13:54,633
Except when you guys are brawling.

299
00:13:54,700 --> 00:13:58,533
Um, I don't want to make light
of some of the allegations

300
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,433
that have been raised in this lawsuit.
You had a DUI.

301
00:14:02,500 --> 00:14:04,133
You coulda killed somebody.

302
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,500
You've admitted now
to being severely intoxicated.

303
00:14:07,567 --> 00:14:10,300
-But my point simply is…
-[Andrew] Well, it was New Year's…

304
00:14:10,367 --> 00:14:13,633
Listen, I don't want to talk about this
like it's some cute, charming thing.

305
00:14:13,700 --> 00:14:17,033
It was, a little bit. He's making it
into more than it needs to be.

306
00:14:17,100 --> 00:14:19,166
[Acker]
It's not. So, let's move on.

307
00:14:19,233 --> 00:14:21,166
-Mr. Yungermann…
-[Louis] Yeah.

308
00:14:21,233 --> 00:14:24,967
you mentioned that you reached out
to the defendant's mother.

309
00:14:25,033 --> 00:14:26,033
[Louis]
Yes, I did.

310
00:14:26,100 --> 00:14:27,633
[Acker]
Why did you reach out to her?

311
00:14:27,700 --> 00:14:28,600
[dramatic music playing]

312
00:14:28,667 --> 00:14:31,166
[narrator]
Coming up on Tribunal Justice…

313
00:14:31,233 --> 00:14:32,700
Why'd you drop out of school?

314
00:14:32,767 --> 00:14:34,967
-Why did I drop out of school?
-[DiMango] Yeah.

315
00:14:35,033 --> 00:14:37,967
Is this an indictment
on everything bad of me?

316
00:14:41,233 --> 00:14:42,900
[main theme playing]

317
00:14:42,967 --> 00:14:44,867
[narrator]
To protect his credit rating,

318
00:14:44,934 --> 00:14:48,165
Louis Yungermann says
he paid $3,600 in rent

319
00:14:48,233 --> 00:14:50,734
for former friend and roommate
Andrew Cline.

320
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,433
Now, Louis wants it all back,

321
00:14:52,500 --> 00:14:55,133
but Andrew says
he never asked for a handout

322
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,967
and claims his former friend
went too far by harassing his mother.

323
00:14:59,033 --> 00:15:01,000
-[Acker] Mr. Yungermann…
-Yeah.

324
00:15:01,066 --> 00:15:04,667
You mentioned that you reached out
to the defendant's mother.

325
00:15:04,734 --> 00:15:05,967
Why did you reach out to her?

326
00:15:06,033 --> 00:15:09,433
He actually had blocked me
through communication at this point.

327
00:15:09,500 --> 00:15:11,834
So, I reached out to his mother
just to see

328
00:15:11,900 --> 00:15:14,200
if she would be willing
to intervene at all.

329
00:15:14,266 --> 00:15:16,633
Um, not necessarily pay the money
he owed me,

330
00:15:16,700 --> 00:15:20,433
but maybe help make a bridge
and just get it resolved

331
00:15:20,500 --> 00:15:23,066
without going through the court system,
basically.

332
00:15:23,133 --> 00:15:24,700
And she said no.

333
00:15:24,767 --> 00:15:26,867
-[Acker] She didn't want to be involved.
-Exactly.

334
00:15:26,934 --> 00:15:28,800
At one point, didn't she suggest to you

335
00:15:28,867 --> 00:15:31,100
that she wasn't
in communication with him either?

336
00:15:31,166 --> 00:15:32,433
She did say that, correct.

337
00:15:32,500 --> 00:15:35,767
[Acker] Mr. Cline,
where was the disrespect

338
00:15:35,834 --> 00:15:39,667
that you say the plaintiff
targeted towards your mom?

339
00:15:40,967 --> 00:15:44,767
"You can only push a person so far
till they… snap."

340
00:15:44,834 --> 00:15:46,600
[Acker]
You said that to his mother?

341
00:15:46,667 --> 00:15:49,667
I did. It was… So,
I reached out to her initially

342
00:15:49,734 --> 00:15:53,900
to try to get the money,
and it was just a rash reaction

343
00:15:53,967 --> 00:15:56,633
to the amount of money that I was owed.

344
00:15:56,700 --> 00:16:00,333
You reached out to her at one point
for reasons that, to me, made sense,

345
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,266
which is that you wanted to show the court
that you made an effort to collect.

346
00:16:04,333 --> 00:16:06,800
-Correct.
-I don't know why you didn't just stop.

347
00:16:06,867 --> 00:16:09,400
He was right that
I shouldn't have said that to his mom.

348
00:16:09,467 --> 00:16:12,100
And I apologize for it,
I shouldn't have said that.

349
00:16:12,166 --> 00:16:13,834
But I was just frustrated because…

350
00:16:13,900 --> 00:16:15,233
I accept his apology.

351
00:16:15,300 --> 00:16:17,900
'Cause I know he doesn't actually mean it.
He was upset.

352
00:16:17,967 --> 00:16:20,867
Like, you've known each other
since second grade, sixth grade.

353
00:16:20,934 --> 00:16:22,867
You're grown men. You signed a lease.

354
00:16:22,934 --> 00:16:26,166
You don't get to not pay a lease
'cause you got mad at your friend.

355
00:16:26,233 --> 00:16:28,467
You don't get to go swearing
at somebody's mother

356
00:16:28,533 --> 00:16:30,834
'cause he's drunk
and starts beating on you.

357
00:16:30,900 --> 00:16:32,467
-Grow up.
-Sure.

358
00:16:32,533 --> 00:16:34,200
[Acker]
Judge DiMango?

359
00:16:34,266 --> 00:16:35,867
Well, I wish we were Divorce Court

360
00:16:35,934 --> 00:16:38,200
because I'd love
to get the two of you separated…

361
00:16:38,266 --> 00:16:39,900
[Andrew]
Probably get married over again.

362
00:16:39,967 --> 00:16:43,200
…from one another,
because you're like so total opposites.

363
00:16:43,266 --> 00:16:47,367
And I think you both recognize what you
shoulda been doing in this situation.

364
00:16:47,433 --> 00:16:50,233
I think you recognize
you shoulda been paying the rent.

365
00:16:50,300 --> 00:16:51,800
Uh, no comment.

366
00:16:51,867 --> 00:16:54,033
[DiMango] That's good.
That's like taking the Fifth.

367
00:16:54,100 --> 00:16:58,000
But when you say,
I noticed a zero balance,

368
00:16:58,066 --> 00:16:59,834
and you just go on with your life.

369
00:16:59,900 --> 00:17:03,066
I'm thinking to myself. I wrote a note.
I said, what did he think,

370
00:17:03,133 --> 00:17:05,066
like the elves came
and paid off the money?

371
00:17:05,133 --> 00:17:08,165
Who else could've paid it
but your former paisan here?

372
00:17:08,233 --> 00:17:10,633
-Who else? Tell me.
-[chuckles]

373
00:17:10,700 --> 00:17:13,133
I guess it was the drunk little elves
runnin' around.

374
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,400
They convinced me.

375
00:17:14,467 --> 00:17:17,099
Well, it coulda been.
Only you know that answer.

376
00:17:17,165 --> 00:17:20,266
But no matter how it came about,
the bottom line is,

377
00:17:20,333 --> 00:17:22,800
I think that for you to say
you didn't recognize

378
00:17:22,867 --> 00:17:25,133
that he covered that amount
is disingenuous.

379
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,233
Okay.

380
00:17:26,300 --> 00:17:28,133
By the way, why'd you drop out of school?

381
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,400
-Why did I drop out of school?
-[DiMango] Yeah.

382
00:17:30,467 --> 00:17:33,633
Is this an indictment
on everything bad of me?

383
00:17:33,700 --> 00:17:35,567
-No, I'm just curious.
-Why did I drop out?

384
00:17:35,633 --> 00:17:38,233
Well, my father died
when I was a sophomore in college,

385
00:17:38,300 --> 00:17:40,100
and I kinda lost my mind a little bit.

386
00:17:40,166 --> 00:17:42,934
Okay. To me that would be very difficult
to lose my father

387
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,834
when I was in my sophomore year
of high school, or college.

388
00:17:45,900 --> 00:17:48,066
And he didn't show up to his funeral.

389
00:17:48,133 --> 00:17:50,033
We're supposed to be best friends.

390
00:17:50,100 --> 00:17:51,700
Did you not show up?

391
00:17:51,767 --> 00:17:53,767
At that point,
there was none of this issue.

392
00:17:53,834 --> 00:17:56,133
I was still attending school
in Springfield, Missouri.

393
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:57,467
[Andrew]
We both were.

394
00:17:57,533 --> 00:18:00,800
[DiMango] Listen… You see,
Mr. I-didn't-do-anything-wrong?

395
00:18:00,867 --> 00:18:03,900
I think you have to stand there and say,
I shoulda been at that wake.

396
00:18:03,967 --> 00:18:06,867
You were my best friend
since second-slash-sixth grade.

397
00:18:06,934 --> 00:18:08,467
Sure. No, I shoulda been there.

398
00:18:08,533 --> 00:18:10,033
I don't deny that at all.

399
00:18:10,100 --> 00:18:13,233
You just did. You just gave some excuse
why you shouldn't have been

400
00:18:13,300 --> 00:18:15,333
to your best friend's father's funeral.

401
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,500
It's something I should've done,
I regret doing.

402
00:18:17,567 --> 00:18:20,100
[DiMango] Finally,
you're saying something about it.

403
00:18:20,166 --> 00:18:23,233
It was a long time ago. I was
working down there, going to school.

404
00:18:23,300 --> 00:18:27,000
It was just a lot to kind of…
It was last-minute notice type of thing.

405
00:18:27,066 --> 00:18:29,300
-Not trying to make excuses.
-[DiMango] You are.

406
00:18:29,367 --> 00:18:33,033
Okay, you are. I mean, it just…
Because people often think

407
00:18:33,100 --> 00:18:35,100
-in these courtrooms, or in life…
-Sure.

408
00:18:35,166 --> 00:18:39,233
…that they did something wrong,
or they did something inappropriate,

409
00:18:39,300 --> 00:18:41,500
but as long as they have
a good reason for it,

410
00:18:41,567 --> 00:18:43,667
it kinda undoes it. And it doesn't.

411
00:18:43,734 --> 00:18:47,166
I mean, we get that you're not
a mean, evil, horrible person,

412
00:18:47,233 --> 00:18:49,367
and that you wouldn't have done it
for those reasons.

413
00:18:49,433 --> 00:18:51,667
You had a legitimate basis.
But it doesn't mean

414
00:18:51,734 --> 00:18:54,567
that the impact on him
is exactly the same.

415
00:18:54,633 --> 00:18:57,233
-I understand, and if I…
-[DiMango] That brings you both here.

416
00:18:57,300 --> 00:19:01,333
The fact that this stuff
gnaws away at any relationship.

417
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,500
And it comes to an end at some point,
which is where this is.

418
00:19:04,567 --> 00:19:08,467
But that doesn't change
the financial obligation that you incurred

419
00:19:08,533 --> 00:19:12,333
not so much with him,
but with the landlord that he picked up.

420
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,800
So, do you think the elves
paid your rent?

421
00:19:14,867 --> 00:19:18,300
Well, according to Miss Tanya, over here,

422
00:19:18,367 --> 00:19:20,433
apparently there were.

423
00:19:20,500 --> 00:19:21,767
Did you call me Miss Tanya?

424
00:19:21,834 --> 00:19:23,400
-[Andrew] Missus Tanya?
-Where are you from?

425
00:19:23,467 --> 00:19:24,734
Uh, St. Louis.

426
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,900
You thought there was
more of a Southern thing?

427
00:19:26,967 --> 00:19:29,467
-No, see, that's pretty Southern.
-[DiMango] Yeah, I thought that.

428
00:19:29,533 --> 00:19:31,200
You're charming in spite of yourself.

429
00:19:31,266 --> 00:19:33,133
-[DiMango] I thought the same thing.
-I'll take it.

430
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,700
So, would you say this is more
about personal animosity

431
00:19:36,767 --> 00:19:38,400
that developed over the years,

432
00:19:38,467 --> 00:19:41,867
than really about the inability
to pay $3,000 some-odd dollars?

433
00:19:42,066 --> 00:19:43,300
[dramatic music playing]

434
00:19:43,367 --> 00:19:45,567
[narrator]
Coming up on Tribunal Justice…

435
00:19:45,633 --> 00:19:49,700
You lied to us. You lied under oath.
You do admit that now?

436
00:19:53,166 --> 00:19:54,834
[main theme playing]

437
00:19:54,900 --> 00:19:58,133
[narrator] Louis Yungermann
claims former roommate Andrew Cline

438
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,700
failed to pay $3,600 in back rent,

439
00:20:00,767 --> 00:20:03,233
so Louis paid it
to protect his credit rating.

440
00:20:03,300 --> 00:20:05,900
Now, he wants it all back.
But Andrew says

441
00:20:05,967 --> 00:20:09,200
he never asked Louis
to pay anything, so that's on him.

442
00:20:09,266 --> 00:20:13,266
Would you say this is more
about personal animosity

443
00:20:13,333 --> 00:20:15,333
that developed over the years

444
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,033
than really about the inability
to pay $3,000 some-odd dollars?

445
00:20:19,100 --> 00:20:22,600
Yeah, I agree with that.
I think there's been things

446
00:20:22,667 --> 00:20:24,500
that have happened
all throughout our past

447
00:20:24,567 --> 00:20:28,400
that has not been spoken about,
and then comes to a boiling point.

448
00:20:28,467 --> 00:20:32,133
[DiMango] We're gonna fix it. Judge Levy?
Anybody have anything to say here?

449
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,033
I do. I just want to make it clear,
when you come to court,

450
00:20:35,100 --> 00:20:37,533
it's super important to tell the truth.

451
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,000
You said that you're not a liar.
You accused him of being a liar.

452
00:20:41,066 --> 00:20:45,000
I asked you very specifically whether you
were fired from your job for cause

453
00:20:45,066 --> 00:20:46,600
to come clean.

454
00:20:46,667 --> 00:20:49,100
You remember the lawsuit
that was filed against you,

455
00:20:49,166 --> 00:20:53,333
Club Car Wash Operating LLC
versus Andrew Cline,

456
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,133
filed on November 9th, 2023.

457
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:57,433
-Yes?
-Yes.

458
00:20:57,500 --> 00:21:03,066
Defendant, you, was terminated…
for cause!

459
00:21:03,133 --> 00:21:06,967
Specifically due to his unprofessional
and inappropriate behavior

460
00:21:07,033 --> 00:21:11,166
and lack of accountability
in his role as General Manager.

461
00:21:11,233 --> 00:21:14,600
That's the reason you were fired
from your job, according to the lawsuit.

462
00:21:14,667 --> 00:21:17,133
You lied to us. You lied under oath.

463
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,133
You do admit that now?

464
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,800
-I would have a discrepancy...
-My brother-in-law once told me,

465
00:21:22,867 --> 00:21:25,166
When you find yourself in a hole,
stop digging.

466
00:21:25,233 --> 00:21:27,333
So, I'm gonna ask you.
You want to explain to me

467
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,500
this sworn affidavit
that says you were fired for cause,

468
00:21:31,567 --> 00:21:35,200
or do you just want to say, I'm sorry,
I didn't know you had that document.

469
00:21:35,266 --> 00:21:38,166
If I knew you had that document,
I wouldn't have denied it.

470
00:21:38,233 --> 00:21:39,967
You are correct. Sorry I lied.

471
00:21:40,033 --> 00:21:41,700
-I apologize.
-[Levy] I appreciate that.

472
00:21:41,767 --> 00:21:43,100
I have nothing further.

473
00:21:43,166 --> 00:21:44,233
-Are we ready?
-Mm-hmm.

474
00:21:44,300 --> 00:21:47,567
We are going to retire to deliberate
at this time. We thank you both.

475
00:21:47,633 --> 00:21:48,633
All right. Thank you, guys.

476
00:21:48,700 --> 00:21:51,200
Court is now in recess.
Parties will be recalled.

477
00:21:51,266 --> 00:21:53,300
[dramatic music playing]

478
00:21:55,300 --> 00:21:57,133
The defendant's on the wrong path,

479
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,767
and he's been on the wrong path
for a long time.

480
00:21:59,834 --> 00:22:04,333
I don't know whether or not this exercise
is going to make a difference in his life.

481
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,233
I hope it will. The evidence,
I believe, is pretty compelling.

482
00:22:08,300 --> 00:22:11,033
The plaintiff, consistent
with the terms of the lease,

483
00:22:11,100 --> 00:22:13,100
had to pay for the defendant's portion

484
00:22:13,166 --> 00:22:16,333
because they were both jointly
and severally liable for the rent,

485
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,800
and the defendant thought
he was gonna come in here

486
00:22:18,867 --> 00:22:21,900
and just give a whole nonsense story
that we were gonna believe

487
00:22:21,967 --> 00:22:23,500
and keep his fingers crossed.

488
00:22:23,567 --> 00:22:25,533
I believe the plaintiff
has made out his case

489
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:30,133
and that he is entitled
to every penny he's asked for, $3,632.

490
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,033
Completely agree with you.
When you sign a lease with somebody else

491
00:22:33,100 --> 00:22:35,166
and they don't pay,
then you're on the hook.

492
00:22:35,233 --> 00:22:37,834
And that's the situation
that the plaintiff found himself in.

493
00:22:37,900 --> 00:22:39,367
And the defendant knows that.

494
00:22:39,433 --> 00:22:41,700
You know, there's a whole bunch
of personal animus

495
00:22:41,767 --> 00:22:43,533
that led to them being here today.

496
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:48,100
The legal issues are far more simple
than some of their personal difficulties.

497
00:22:48,166 --> 00:22:50,333
There are difficulties
on several levels here,

498
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,900
especially with the defendant,
who I think really needs

499
00:22:52,967 --> 00:22:57,000
to get a little more insight into
what his problems are being caused by.

500
00:22:57,066 --> 00:22:59,967
And I totally agree,
the plaintiff is the kind of person

501
00:23:00,100 --> 00:23:04,500
who meticulously sets forth
everything he's supposed to be doing.

502
00:23:04,567 --> 00:23:08,266
And I think the defendant recognizes
on some level, at least in retrospect,

503
00:23:08,333 --> 00:23:12,500
that, you know, his alleged defense
did not hold any water.

504
00:23:12,567 --> 00:23:15,266
So, the bottom line here is,
the plaintiff is entitled

505
00:23:15,333 --> 00:23:17,066
to everything he's asked for.

506
00:23:17,133 --> 00:23:20,533
Um, and the defendant,
I really think needs to look at his life.

507
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:21,967
Thank you. We're unanimous.

508
00:23:22,033 --> 00:23:23,500
-[DiMango] Yeah.
-Yes, indeed.

509
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:28,600
Court is back in session.

510
00:23:28,667 --> 00:23:30,533
All parties are reminded
that you're still under oath.

511
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,600
[Levy]
Gentlemen, we have deliberated

512
00:23:32,667 --> 00:23:35,367
and we have reached
a unanimous verdict.

513
00:23:35,433 --> 00:23:40,834
Mr. Cline, at almost 30 years old,
you seem to be on the wrong path.

514
00:23:40,900 --> 00:23:44,567
And if you find yourself ever
in a situation when you're in a court

515
00:23:44,633 --> 00:23:49,533
for something someone says you did
on the criminal side, you tell the truth.

516
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,033
Even if the underlying offense
wasn't serious,

517
00:23:53,100 --> 00:23:56,900
a perjury prosecution is,
and that'll stick on your record forever.

518
00:23:56,967 --> 00:24:00,133
So, you gotta get yourself
on the right path.

519
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,667
And if you need help, get that help.
Just do it.

520
00:24:02,734 --> 00:24:05,867
Okay, with that having been said,
judgment in favor of the plaintiff

521
00:24:05,934 --> 00:24:10,767
for the full amount, $3,632.
That's the verdict of the court.

522
00:24:10,834 --> 00:24:12,367
Thank you, Your Honor. Thank you.

523
00:24:12,433 --> 00:24:15,033
This case has concluded.
All parties are excused.

524
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,166
I drink as much as anybody else.

525
00:24:20,233 --> 00:24:23,233
Every time he starts drinking,
he gets mad, he gets aggressive.

526
00:24:23,300 --> 00:24:26,667
Twelve-pack a week, or
somethin' like that. It's not a problem.

527
00:24:26,734 --> 00:24:28,734
I just thought he had changed.
Clearly not.

528
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,333
Oh, I'll love him forever,
whether he likes it or not.

529
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:32,834
