He knew he should have counted. It was the rule to count to ten in his head before he opened his mouth. It was the rule to count to ten if he wanted to smash a man in the face for saying something he didn't like.

So anything worth mulling over, I will mull over with my father, and that includes ratings. ~Joshua Malina
