Fran:  Where 's Manny ?
Bernard: Him ? He left . That 's what happens when you love someone and nurture them and take care of them .
Fran: You mean you fired him .
Bernard: There may have been an incident involving a hand and a kitchen item and maybe the item was a sandwich toaster and maybe the hand was Manny 's and maybe I introduced them to _ one _ another .
Fran: So he 's gone .
Bernard: Oh no , he still sleeps here , burrowed in like the little tick he is . But he leaves every day . Every day is another betrayal .
