Charles Ramsey (2014)

Thank you. Appreciate that. See you soon.

Thank you. Appreciate it.

Oh yeah, I like that. And we could do, 'Aint nobody got time for that" woman.

1. I see Michelle Knight several nights a week. Her thing is to walk her dog and meet and greet people. My thing is to walk around looking for bad dudes who want to snatch another child.
2. Michelle has a tablet. They keep her up to date with things. She's with Dr. Phil's camp. She's getting emails, responding to them. KNows how to download apps. She's actually created music she wants to produce some day.
3. The free hamburgers were from May 6 and they ended May 8 last year. They gave me $2,000 in gift cards and I handed them out to every homeless person and kid I could find.

On December 31, around 11:25 I had a conversation with Drew Carey. I was doing the ball thing in public square, I say Drew how do you handle people who know you wherever you go. How do you deal with all that he says this is what you do. Remember that show Cheers? Sing that jungle in your head and when it starts making sense to you, it won't bother you anymore. The world is your neighborhood now. You're in their heart, you're in their brains.

no. i didn't go to church with him. He was my neighbor. the closest a neighbor could get coming from dif ethnic backgrounds. We weren't playing spades, he wasn't throwing tupperware parties. He kept everything he could do to keep you from asking abotu what he did in that house.

I wouldn't have called the police if I had known what was going on. That's what I would have done. I would have helped Amanda. I would have got my comrades, freed Gina and Michelle, go back in the house. And when Mr. Castro came home, we would turn it on him. I would have got him pregnant five times and beat the babies out of him. I would have put a motorcycle on his forehead. I would have bought a one-way ticket to Puerto Rico and dropped him off and told them, here he is. Do what we want.

Now we can go to the Superbowl!

Not financial trouble. It caused chaos in the restaurant. If there is paparazi hounding the restaurant and they don't want to eat, that gets overwhelming. How could anyone put up with that? You hire me as a dishwasher fine. Now the word gets out. Now we don't want to come in your restaurant. We just want him. No, he does his own thing. No we just want to talk to him. Next thing you know, I don't come into work, because they're flying me into New York. You know?

Life has changed because I thought I was a good judge of character. I'm 44. You figure there is no way in the hell you could not see something demonic seven inches away from where you lay your head.

What's stayed the same? My sanity.

Ariel Castro met his demise before a celebrity fight could be arranged between him and me. That he took his own life before I could take it.

I don't understand Peter Dinklage's logic. That whore he said was his wife's maid. Then the dude comes to him and says my father is going to let your ass go. Just keep your mouth shut. Your damn right I watch it.

No, I don't know Greyjoy.

Thank you. 100% Angus. Thousand Island dressing. Applewood spoked bacon. Pepperjack cheese.

I am pushing a campaign that consists of demolishing abandoned houses and buildings in my city. Hopefully if this picks up other cities will do the same. If we get rid of rest havens for pedofiles, we even the game. Right now, you could kidnap some kids in Cleveland and put them anywhere. I thought Castro's house was abandoned. He didn't have no air conditioning. If you put me back in africa, I'd be on the first plane back. They told me I was a nosy neighbor for asking about the air conditioning.

They build you up to break you down. If you let it bother you you will be consumed by it. I got together with a book author and collected some memoirs and low and behold look what happened, I got back up again.

Yes. Everybody in my city is smiling as if they hit the lottery. As if their stimulus check finally came in the goddamn mail.

No. Because I take it upon myself to be the one running the errand. I'm outside on purpose.

My mother. I told her good luck with that lady. I've been telling her that for 45 fucking years. SHe's always been monitoring my mouth. She says, I have a potty mouth.

As hell. Yes. Because Ariel, like any other psychotic fuck, he has fans too. Who's to say there's not another one brewing out there. Remember, in a pedofiles world, Ariel Castro is Pablo Escobar. He's a pedofile, he's gotta be the king of all pedofiles like my man from Pennsylvania, Sandusky.

Me. I want to play me.

Once it was a good idea to throw my phone in the Hudson River, that's when I knew. The calls were so overwhelming and they were coming in from the same places I think have those girls in Nigeria. I don't know where those numbers were coming from. Mars was trying to thank me.

No. I'm not Michelle. I don't forgive him.

I wish I had noticed anything. A hand waving in a window. Ariel Castro was a diobolical monster. He ran his house like a fortress. This man, in his head, had the system beat. The only thing to do then was to kill them because the trophies were getting old and rebelious... You know what I thought. What if he has another house with three more girls in the basement? I'm just speculating.

No, I wasn't allowed. I was a witness. Told to stay out by the FBI. You got to swear to us you won't bring a weapon in here. I couldn't swear to that. I'm not going through metal detectors. If I get in here with a weapon, his ass is dead on national TV. That bastard got over on me. I should have killed him a long time ago.

It's like I did the job half-assed.

Fame is positive. My fame is because I didn't get a record deal. I didn't sign an NBA contract. My fame is different. People come up to me for one reason: you helped those girls get out of dire straights.

I've always thought that. I don't have the power of telepathy, you don't know what's on a persons mind. I met a woman who said there were no heros in her family because she was being raped when she was four. Imagine how many other women grew up like that and then tried to block it out of their heads.

Yes I do. I would like to do a book signing. And I want to take an entourage with me.

It hasn't. The reason why it doesn't affect me is I don't let it affect me. Stay humble.

Yeah, we got pounded. We get on with the good ol weatherman but it was a TSUNAMI!
