Sloth: that’s awesome
Vortigus: Sure, I won’t sue, but you agree to let me violently beat you and your family if you screw me over

So it appears, somewhere, I got this move all wrong. It’s more like an artsy independent film. I totally missed that. You know like other movies that were artsy independent.
