Wade explains how he didn’t want to dig into the toddler’s life too much since that might cause others to report his suspicious behavior. Trevor’s retort is perfectly in line with his character and will make players guffaw as he drops one of his many memorable zingers.

When Floyd tries to lecture him about the dubious morals of this act, Trevor lashes out in a manner typical of him that should be a silly dialogue but ends up being rather effective for a few laughs in this context.
1"I Said Something Nice, Not Expensive!"
Spoken To: Denise Clinton
