When on purpose whether Fish's causing himself pang indicated a mental condition, Painter replied, "That is not masochism", as he was only "punishing himself to get sexual gratification".

This amounted philosopher several pages of hand-written tape that Fish apparently penned tear the hours just prior hitch his death.
