Perhaps a better example from MC:
I was there for an appointment with ex-T and was at the receptionist's desk when MC walks up. He says to their longtime receptionist (sadly not there anymore) that he got buzzed but isn't expecting a client. She says she buzzed him by accident. He notices me standing there and says, "It's LT's fault." Receptionist says it was hers, and MC says, "No, it's LT's fault--it's always LT's fault. You have to say it, 'It's always LT's fault.'" The receptionist begrudgingly goes along with him and says it.
