responsibility

A
  • Oh - how horrible! Was it an accident?
  • So I’m really responsible?
  • I felt rotten about it at the time
  • I’ll never, never do it again to anybody.

  • I behaved badly too. I know I did, I’m ashamed of it. But now you’re beginning all over again to pretend that nothing much has happened.
  • I suppose we’re all nice people now.
