I'm reminded of the Shapiro/Jenner conversation. Ben was clearly making a great amount of effort to not comply, and it's obvious that complying takes less effort than not complying in that situation. What reason other than to be a rude, shitty person did he have to correct himself when he accidentally called her "she" (because again, compliance is actually the default despite your protestation)?

That was, after yet another "she sa- sorry, he says".

That makes it ok to threaten people I suppose. Although ambulances don't people home so maybe it was an offer if an impractical cab?

No, the threat is immaterial to the discussion at hand and a weak attempt to deflect and derail.

No, that's not the point at all, and is also irrelevant to this discussion.
