A scene from “Unfinished Business”

Joe: [internally] I tried to be the perfect boyfriend, the perfect friend to your friends, and it wasn't enough, so, to hell with it. It's freeing in a way, to know so definitively where I stand. Where you stand. To know for certain what I have to do to protect you. And just like that, everything clicks into place. My feet. Runner's high. It is pretty great. And I remember, this is why I took up jogging.

[Joe hits Peach in the head with a rock]

Joe: [internally] Oh. She's dead. Of course she's dead, she fell. [starts frantically running away] That's right, she fell. An accident. Happens all the time, she was running and she fell. Into a rock. Over and over again. Okay, let's be real, she was attacked, someone attacked her, but maybe they had a good reason, right? You ever think of that, Detective? SHIT! Detectives are real and DNA is a thing and I just hit that girl with a rock — god, the sound, I would never hurt a woman — but she was a dangerous, flesh-hungry harpy. She forced my hand. That's on her and her family for screwing her up. I had to, Beck, I had to. I knew you'd never forgive me, but she gave me no choice. I'm not a bad person. She was going to ruin you. But you're safe now. Thanks to me. I just want you to live your best life. It's brave, what I do for you. It's not easy, it's hard. Sometimes it makes me sick. I'm brave. How many guys will do anything for the person they love? Honestly, Beck, you're lucky to have me.
