Quote: He said it was like part of him was disgusted watching himself behave like such a jerk but he couldn't make himself behave any better

It's all very well that there was no malice, just weakness, but it's like waking the ex-marine or the ex-cop up suddenly in the middle of the night and, as a reflex, they break your neck. They didn't mean it, but your neck's broken all the same.
