You win. I'm done. Whatever you want, just tell me. [Ray gapes at him in shock.] I co-signed the mortgage, you think I don't have a key?
Came for my money.
The dalmatian at the bank. You poured her in the trash, the dog. I got her for Grace when she was seven.
Laverne.
She didn't live that long. Car got her, but we'd grown attached.
I was looking for my stamp.
You know, I was thinking about it on the way over. I can't think of a single person doesn't like me, except you.
That's what they say to your face.
No, Ray! I'm a fair man! I treat people honestly, help 'em when they're down!
Them you help!
When did I not help you, kid? Everything you asked! Co-signing the mortgage, repairs for the car!
I'm not less than you. Some child that needs–
Ray, come on. We've done this already. Been doing it for twenty years. Enough. [Pause. Emmit stands up, picking up a picture frame by his feet. He walks over to Ray and shows it to him, revealing the stamp inside. Ray takes it and looks at it.] It's finished, okay? Words said in anger, crimes committed, we've both done things. It's a certain madness, I think. Brotherhood. Buttons you push in me, that I push in you, grudges...but I don't want that anymore. So...I'm giving you the stamp.
[pause] Well, you're not giving it to me.
No, I am.
You can't give me what was mine from the start!
[sighs] Okay.
No, that's...take it. [He holds out the frame.]
It's yours.
I said take it!
I don't want it.
Take the damn stamp! [He pushes the frame into Emmit's chest.]
[shoves him back] Stop!
Take it! [He shoves him again.]
Stop!
[He pushes back, and the frame slams into Ray's face and shatters, dropping to the floor. Ray, dazed, finds a piece of glass in his neck and puts his fingers around it.]
Don't. Don't! [Ray pulls it out, he groans as blood sprays from his neck.] Jesus!
Emmit. E–emmit.
Ray...
[Emmit watches in horror as Ray drops to his knees, lays down, and bleeds to death.]
