You've done some stupid shit in the past, but this? Man, this takes the cake.
You wanna talk to me about dumb shit?! How about chasing after somebody else's girlfriend when the world is ending!
Nancy is a friend. She's a friend, okay? Do you remember what that's like, having friends?
Yeah. I do. I remember what it was like to have a good friend. A real friend who actually believed in me and was actually kind to me--
A-ha!
What?
A-ha.
What?
There we go. That's what this has all been about, really, is Eddie. All your bullshit, pushing everyone away? It's because no one could ever be as perfect as he was.
Well, he wasn't perfect, but at least he knew that, unlike you! He was never fake! He didn't care what other people thought about him. He was just himself. And you know what? He was the smartest, kindest person I have ever met! And he would've solved this in thirty seconds flat.
Well if I'm such a goddamn idiot, how come I'm the one still standing here?
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
That night, I told you not to be heroes. I told both of you. What did Eddie do? He charged into a swarm of killer bats.
To save my life!
He saved no one.
He saved everyone!
You can keep telling yourself that, Henderson. But deep down, the reason you're so goddamn pissed is because you know the truth! Eddie wanted to play hero and he made a dumb call and he got himself killed!
SHUT UP!
