So, what, we just take out whoever threatens us? That's... toxic masculinity!

Oh, my God! Are we really debating the morality of murder? I mean, that's what the play is about! Macbeth is a murderer!
Yeah, well, then I guess, so am I! Right? I mean, I've killed people. What, I should just go blow my brains out 'cause there's no hope for me, right? My soul's fucked because I was ordered to kill someone and I did it? Y'know, that doesn't make me a psycho...
KKirby
No... Barry, you're overreacting, we didn't say you were a psycho--
You all just said that! Am I wrong? Isn't that what you guys are saying, that I'm a fuckin' psycho?! That's exactly what you fuckin' said! Y'know, it's really easy for you guys to sit here and weigh in on some shit that you don't know about, but it's, um, it's fuckin' lame, and it's not true.
TTaylor
It's gonna be a party.
It's not really a party time; there's a good chance we'll die.
TTaylor
Fuck yeah.
It's not really a high-five situation, or a fist bump situation.
Janice. For three nights, you've come home and told me that everybody is 'up in your grill' at work because you can't let go of this crazy acting class connection.
MMoss
I never said 'up in my grill.' So you can just stop there.
The point is... The point is, nobody believes that my class could be involved in Ryan's death except for you. I myself thought that you were questioning them because you wanted to be close to me. I was very flattered. But now I've gotta wonder: are you keeping them in play because you're trying to prevent us from becoming what we might become?
Now I know it's only three days. But I'm 47 years old. I'm old enough to know a great thing when it comes knocking on my door in the middle of the night. We are breathing rarefied air and you know it. If we ran away from this because we were scared, wouldn't that be oh so very sad?
Are you on drugs, Barry? Because getting clean is an important part of an actor's journey. A little story to illustrate: I was doing Long Day's Journey into Night at the Pasadena Playhouse with a bunch of cokeheads. It's usually about a three-hour play. We could bring it in at just under thirty-seven minutes. We thought we were great! Apparently, we were unintelligible. It was the beginning of the bad years, Barry.
I'm-- I'm not on drugs.
You're not?
No.
...Well then, that's very bad news for you.
CChris
Okay, what if I just turn myself in, okay-?
We're linked! We're linked. We're linked.
CChris
They won't know anything about you! Nothing about you!
We're linked on Facebook, Chris. I met your wife. You go to the cops, they'll figure it out. They'll find me, alright?
CChris
No, they won't, because they won't-
Yes, they will, they're looking for me!
CChris
They won't know anything!
They'll find out about me, they'll find out about Fuches, they'll find out about the acting class. Everyone will be dead, Chris-
CChris
Well, I don't fucking care, Barry! I killed a guy! Okay, now you might be cool with this shit, but I'm not! I got a wife and I got a kid, okay?! And then- and- and- she fucking knew! She knew! She knew something was up! When I came home, she knew it! And then I lied to her, and I told her that I was- I- I was going to the gym? Just now? But when I go back, she's gonna know. She's gonna know something is up, and it's gonna come out. So that's it. That's it, okay? I'm going to the cops, and I'm gonna tell them everything. And I- If I've gotta do some time, fine. But I'm coming clean.
Why did you say that?
CChris
Why did you Facebook me, dude?! You're a fucking hit man, and then you fucking Facebooked me-
WHY'D YOU JUST SAY THAT?!
[A silence passes over. Barry turns to Chris.]
I told you to get out of the car, man.
CChris
You know what? It's cool. I can keep quiet. I'm cool. And I- I didn't tell my wife... y'know, that- That I was going to the gym. I- I told her that I was... coming to see you.
[An SUV pulls up in the distance and a man steps out.]
CChris
I- I know you're not gonna... do anything crazy, Barry. I know you're a good guy.
[The SUV drives off]
CChris
So I'm gonna- I'm gonna drop you off. And I'm g- I am gonna keep. My fat. Trap. Shut. And then, y'know, I- I promise you, no one will ever know any-
[Barry holds Chris' hands to the steering wheel and pulls out a gun]
CChris
Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait-!
[From outside, the gun goes off, splattering the front window in blood and shattering the driver's side window. Having left the gun in Chris' hand, Barry slowly walks away.]
My Lord, the Queen is dead.
[Cosineau walks in on an obviously stressed Barry, applauding]
Barry! Bravo! I just saw you go to a place tonight I have never seen before! I don't know if you can do it again, but it was ama-
[Barry punches a picture frame, screaming]
...Okay! I see you're still in that place, I'm gonna leave you to your process. You know, I have a few notes...
[Barry tosses a chair across the room]
They can wait 'till Monday.
Janice, listen. I used to work for a man who who talked me into doing some really bad stuff. But that's not who I am, okay? I, uh, I realized what I was doing was wrong, and I, uh, I did everything I had to do to put it behind me. And I did it. It was hard, but I did it. And everything's so good right now. I'm a good person. I help people out. And if you could just walk away from this and forget about it, everybody's life will be better.
MMoss
You know I can't do that, Barry.
Yes. No, yes, you can. Janice, you can, because we want the same thing. We- We wanna be happy. We want love. We want a life. And we're doing it, Janice. We're the same.
MMoss
But we're not. We're not the same, Barry. 'Cause I'm a cop and you're a fucking murderer.
Can we please not do this? Please?
MMoss
It's done.
CConineau
In my bedroom, under the bed, there's a mahogany box, and in that box is a pearl-handle .38 Special, screen-used from the movie Flashpoint, given to me by my former roommate, Rip Torn. Do you know how many times today I actually thought about going in there and loading it and giving it one last kiss?
You wanted to kiss a gun?
Suicide, Barry.
Oh.
Are you not familiar with the Japanese ritual of harakiri?
The baseball announcer?
I need you out of my house.
Okay.
[Hank holds up a pair of jogging shorts.]
You have these pants in size medium?
Those are women's pants.
Shit.
What the fuck are you doing here?
Barry, it's me. It's Hank.
I know it's Hank!
In a wig.
I know you're wearing a wig!
The shirt's mine, though.
I don't fucking care! What the fuck you doing here?!
Classic criss-cross.
That's not a criss-cross.
I'm pretty sure it is.
