The tail end of the rant… 

There is something really really very sad about you. You need help. You need somebody to help you. This excessive concern with little weasels is a sickness. I’m sorry. That’s my opinion, you don’t have to accept it. There are probably very few people that would be as honest with you about that. But you should go consult a psychologist or a psychiatrist and have him help you with this excessive concern - how you are devoting your life to weasels. There are people in this city and in this world that need a lot of help. There…something has gone wrong with you. Your compulsion about it, your excessive concern about it is the sign of something wrong in your personality. I do not mean to be insulting. I’m trying to be honest with you and I’m trying to give you advice for your own good. You have a sickness and I know it’s hard for you to accept that because you hang onto this sickness - it’s your shield, it’s your whatever. You’ve got to go to somebody who understands this a lot better than I do. And I know you’re real angry at me and you’re going to attack me, but actually you’re angry at yourself and you’re afraid of what I am raising with you. You need help. Please get it.

In case you missed it…
