"You say on your form that you're not a fan of homosexuals?" Nickerson asked Ellis, according to the preliminary transcript. "That I'm a racist," Ellis interrupted, according to the transcript. "I'm frequently found to be a liar, too." "I'm sorry?" Nickerson said. "I said I'm frequently found to be a liar," Ellis replied. "So, are you lying to me now?" asked Nickerson. "Well, I don't know.
