00:00I'm ashamed of your dignity as an 80-year-old man to scream at a lady that you just bit.
00:06You say that we're friends and that we play. Sir, we work together.
00:10You cannot bite people. That is not okay.
00:14That is assault.
00:15And it's 100% up to her if she wants to pursue charges. I'd like to understand why you did that.
00:23I'm really, I apologize. I was just playing because we're very playful together.
00:28And I bit down too hard and I meant to just...
00:31She's got a mouth mark on her.
00:33I know.
00:33No, we do not play like that. I...
00:35I was...
00:36I apologize.
00:37No.
00:38I want to be very clear with witnesses.
00:40No, we're going to hear me because I want to be very clear in front of everyone here.
00:44Martin, you think it's funny to play with people.
00:48We are colleagues. I have played with you on set.
00:50We've danced. We've worked together. We've shaken hands.
00:53And I came to you as a colleague and I said to your son,
00:56Hey, can you tell your dad not to bite me?
00:58I'm not going to the cops. I'm not going to anyone.
01:00He says, I'm sorry. I said, it's not his fault.
01:02Just tell your dad he can't bite me.
01:03Now, in the realm of what is normal and reasonable,
01:06and I don't know if you understand that,
01:08that's called civility and camaraderie.
01:11And it's called colleagues, friendship.
01:13That's what that is.
01:14I came to you without benefit of the doubt.
01:16Then I came to your face and I said,
01:17Marty, I said it very gently to you.
01:18Marty, you may not bite me. It hurts.
01:21You try to justify it because I don't think you understand
01:24that you cannot bite other humans.
01:26So I'm sorry. I don't know what's going on in your brain.
01:28But for you to get outraged at me is completely and utterly inappropriate.
01:32And honestly, I'm ashamed of your dignity as an 80-year-old man
01:36to scream at a lady that you just bit.
01:39You say that we're friends and that we play.
01:41Sir, we work together.
01:43We shake hands.
01:44We do photo ops.
01:45We get along.
01:47When have I ever bit you?
01:48Biting is an offense.
01:50That's why I've brought this gentleman here to speak to you
01:52because you think you have done nothing wrong.
01:56You have committed assault on my body.
01:59You are not free to go.
02:00I have to speak with her privately about how we're going to proceed.
02:04Yeah, how pissed am I?
02:06Because you are, right now, you committed a crime.
02:08Yes.
02:08And we're going to figure out how to proceed with this, okay?
02:10All right.
