1. Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now!

6. He's just finally dropped all effort in not showing how he really feels

10. Exactly. He could care less
These past years he has had to struggle to show that he "cares." He doesn't give a damn - "I only got 9 months. What the hell are they gonna do? Fire me? Heh, heh, heh."
