Bad example Quote by James Owen
““You know i don't like you, right?" "You've made that very clear, yes." said Magwich. "Well" Charles continued, "whenever we've met, you've demonstrated all the qualities i don't want to have. And I try to better myself so I don't become like you. So in a way..." "My bad example is making you a better person?" finished Magwich. "something like that." said Charles. "If it wasn't for people like you, I don't think I would try so hard. And honestly, you're the worst i've ever encountered." "Oh, you're just saying that." said Magwich. "No, I really mean it.””
