"I'm so sorry, I fucked up."

Lawson was angry? frustrated? furious?

No, actually, Lawson was trying to be angry but really...

"Maybe this is better." Lawson said. Lawson actually said that. He could not believe the words coming out of his own mouth was said by himself. "Maybe... New Blood, am I right? Maybe you may not score much points with the others, but, yeah, you fucked up. You fucked up splendidly, and I am proud of you for fucking it up so royally. At least you didn't say any swears."

Joseph laughed bitterly. "How much more of a break do I get?"

"3 minutes. Make it count. You look like you've been through a thunderstorm, your back's almost wet through."

Joseph rubbed his forehead. Lawson was right, his hand was drenched. "Ah, fuck me."

Lawson spoke, "Well, what's done is done. Now fuck it up furthermore and try to actually manage to end this on a high note."
