I have replayed the scene in my mind millions of times, wishing I had had my wits about me more, formulating brilliant retorts and fantasizing suitable punishments, all of which involve some variation of him living out his miserable existence homeless and destitute under a crumbling bridge somewhere in remote China with only the kindness of strangers to keep him fed.
