“Cotton got so mad he started talking about himself in the third person.

“Mr. Cotton says the chairman needs to rethink his decision,” said Cotton, as his name came up in the roll call. “That’s what Mr. Cotton says.””

Lmao imagine getting you mad about the same tactics you supported, that you refer to yourself in the 3rd person.

Doesn't donnie do that all the time?

Though I wonder if he does it from habit due to all those years pretending to be John Barron, etc...

To be fair, you'd get a bit confused if you killed fiddy men too.

Cotton's pronouns are Cotton and Cotton. I wonder how Teddy feels about that.
