[ Beep ]
- I cannot believe you turned off your fucking phone! You say whatever you want and then just vanishes and turns this shit off? Well now you will listen to what I have to say, even if it’s through your fucking machine! I am beyond pissed off with what you did! You are a fucking coward, that’s what you are! You call me every name in the book and then just turn around, turn off your phone and go to fucking sleep, and you let me speaking alone! Honestly, sleeping beauty, I am disgusted about…

[ Beep ]
- Do you think I will give up? No, I won’t! At least until I am able to say EVERSTHING I want. I am disgusted to know I was your boyfriend one day, to have kissed you and said I loved you! I am ashamed of myself for loving someone so… So… I don’t even know how to express, David. You are a mean son of a bitch, a mean and crazy son of a bitch, that’s what you are. I am ashamed to cry for you! But one thnig is for sure: all this...

[ Beep ]
- You know what, David? I cried too much for you. You don’t deserve my tears. You don’t deserve anything that comes from me. You only think about yourself, your empty life with your empty friends, you think you’re the best because you lived in Canada and you think your blog is worth a fucking Pulitzer. But deep down you are a little piece of shit, you are nothing. Every day you show that by…

[ Beep ]
- Do you know what is worse? The worst part is this idiot here, wasting my time, my battery and MY minutes to tell you a bunch of stuff you didn’t have the courage to hear in person.

“This is David, after the beep, you’ll know what to do”
[ Beep ]
- Look, David… I think you got that I am very upset with all this shit. But I won’t be lean to you, because you don’t deserve anything, not EVEN my compassion. That is why I will be evil to you, I will record lots of messages in your inbox until it is completely full, I will make your life hell on earth! You will live to regret the day you gave me your number!

[ Beep ]
- Guess what? It’s me again! Now you will see that I can be a bitch as well. I wanted to love you, I wanted to be your husband one day, I wanted to be with you forever, but you want war, don’t you? So war it is! I don’t like to fight, but poke me and you’ll see what…

“This is David, after the beep, you’ll know what to do”
[ Beep ]
- Seriously David, couldn’t it have been different? What went wrong with us? Can’t you see? Can’t you understand that I love you? We had everything, we could be together forever, but you act like a jerk! Why, David? Just tell me why!

“This is David, after the beep, you’ll know what to do”
[ Beep ]
- Look, David… I love you, fact. Independent of what happens next, I need you to know that. I want it to work between us, I want to be ok. Don’t you think we could be ok? Don’t you think we can try? Maybe we could talk, Dave. I know that you love me and I love you, so what else do we need?

[ Beep ]
- Dave, it’s me, Gav. I am ringing the bell and I know you’re in. Forget everything I said, I have flowers and I am sorry. Let’s try again, babe?
