\\\"I\\\'m a man. I can\\\'t help it.\\\"\\\\\\\\
\\\"I\\\'m a man; I can\\\'t help it.\\\"\\\\\\\\
\\\"I\\\'m a man, I can\\\'t help it.\\\"
They all have slightly different flavours, don\\\'t they? The last comes across a bit hasty, a bit dismissive. This sort of comma splice for quick, closely-linked sentences is pretty common, especially in dialogue. It\\\'s wrong but useful, and I kinda like it.
