When you deal with the devil, you always get screwed.

His promises are no good, his assurances are no good, his deals are no good.

There is no point in "dealing" with someone who hates you, has no conscience, and has made it his life goal to hurt you.

We should be screwing with this malignant entity at every turn, every opportunity.

Let us be the ones who are petty and unreasonable for a change.
