But at the time, I was pretending he was my friend. [The 'pretending' is a gigantic, screaming lie caused by his brainwashing. It just sort of comes out, even if he then continues the story with them sharing a true friendship. So many little inconsistencies like that in his fractured psyche.] So I snuck in with cigars and beer, and kept the poor ugly smuck company. You should have see his dumb face, grinning like a dope.
