[Otto dangles Archie out a window]
Archie: All right, all right, I apologise.
Otto: You're really sorry.

basis in fact, and was in no way fair comment, and was motivated purely by malice, and I deeply regret any distress that my comments may have caused you, or your family, and I hereby undertake not to repeat any such slander at any time in the future.
Otto: OK.
