"Nick Slathering is a good friend of mine and he's been my partner for years. Lately, he's been acting a little strange. But I didn't think much of it. He's just been saying some things that don't make any sense. When I'd ask him about it, he'd tell me he didn't know why he said those things. I can't think of any specific examples. Just weird stuff."

Ask about something else.
