WHY ARE YOU TELLING EVERYONE MY PROJECT GOT CANCELED?!

I NEVER SAID ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

YOU'RE SUCH A LIAR. I SAW YOUR EMAIL TO TED.

IF I SHOW YOU THAT EMAIL RIGHT NOW, AND IT SAYS NOTHING ABOUT YOUR PROJECT.

WILL YOU ADMIT YOU WERE WRONG AND HUMBLY APOLOGIZE TO ME?

I DON'T THINK I CAN COMMIT TO THAT.

WELL, ANYWAY, HERE IT IS. AND YOU CAN PLAINLY SEE YOU WERE WRONG.

THIS LOOKS PHOTO- SHOPPED I DON'T SEE A WINNING PATH FOR ME HERE.
