All right.

Kathy, there's something

I've always wanted to tell you.

I've never forgiven myself

for what happened to your brother.

Rick, don't.

I don't want to talk about it.

I want you to know

that there's not a day that goes by

that I don't regret

giving him those keys.

He swore to me

that he was sober.

I don't know, I guess I was just

so drunk, I believed him.

But all I'm trying to say is

my life has never been the same

and it's never gonna be.

He was my best friend.

He was your best friend

and you let him drive

with 1.8% alcohol in his system.

Okay?

That's twice the legal limit.

I don't want to play this game

anymore.

You know what?

I'll never forgive you, Rick, okay?

I only tolerate you because you

were so close with Danny.

And why he chose to have you

as a best friend

I will never f***ing know.

Kathy, come on.

You gotta forgive me.

- No.

- Look, that's enough of this,

all right? Rick, look,

this sh*t has gone too far.

- Come on, Kathy.

- He shouldn't have come here.

Remember me, you and Danny

jumping off the cliffs,

swimming around the rocks

in the cove?

Remember when we used to joyride

in your dad's car,

and when we brought it back,

we had to shut the light off

and put it in neutral

and wheel it in the driveway?

- So Dad wouldn't hear it.

- Yeah.

I will never forgive you,

because you had the opportunity

to stop him,

and you didn't.

And as cruel as it may sound,

I want you to live with that pain

for the rest

of your f***ing life,

just like I have to live

with the pain of loss.

Danny was wild.

That's what we all loved

about him.

Look, man, I'm sorry, Rick,

but nowhere in the rules does it say

that anyone

has to forgive you.

Let's just get back to trying

to play this game, man.

Since we're not going

in order,

I'll go.

I'll bring back the fun.

Bring it back.

Doubles.

It's my lucky day.

I know I put another trap

out here...

somewhere.

If I have known

they were coming today,

I could have got up

this morning

and done it

when the sun was still up

instead of wandering around here

in the dark like a jackass.

I don't want some city slicker

getting caught in a trap

and having his leg chewed off...

and suing my ass.

"Thou may not have given

much thought of it,

yet whom in this room

doth thou secretly covet?"

I don't get it.

It means, who would you

like to get with?

Come on, babe,

you know it's me.

This is embarrassing. Um...

Come on, girl, just spit it out.

Fine, so I'm just gonna

come out and say it.

Josh and Anton.

Oh, Jesus.

Together?

Wait, let me explain.

Anton, because he's the sensitive,

romantic type.

And Josh, because he's
