Do I need a reason?

[bareknuckled]

You got someone else cryin' over that dumb mug of yours?

[bookeeping]

[ he might have a point, benny. ]

[gonna]

Most skirts do.

[gonna]

You know, my mother? She cried when she saw me for the very first time. "Take him back", she cried.

[bareknuckled]

I ain't gonna blame her. She leave you on Meyer's stoop like a foundling right after?

[gonna]

Everyone's a fuckin' critic.

[bookeeping]

Perhaps fewer things to criticize?

[gonna]

Well, the church wasn't gonna have me, so she figures this was the next best thing.

[gonna]

Why, you keepin' score?

[bookeeping]

You think I'd forget?

[gonna]

And have you sleep with something other than that little diary o'yours? Wouldn't dream of it.

[bookeeping]

Yes, and fled before she gave me the chance to return him.

[bookeeping]

A ledger doesn't kick in the middle of the night.

[gonna]

Yeah, well, hey, you show me a broad who gives you a fuckin' papercut when she comes and I'll have her down the aisle by tomorrow.

[bareknuckled]

Next best thing? That's the opposite direction, numbnuts.

[bareknuckled]

And you raised 'em outta the goodness of your heart?

[bookeeping]

I kept him, yes. [ his smile implies there was no goodness involved in the decision. ]

[gonna]

Aw, Charlie, you don't hafta sound so sore about it; your house was just a few blocks too far for my poor mama. It coulda just as easily been you that day.

[bareknuckled]

[ the worst influence. ]

No one's gonna fault you for how he turned out. There's no helpin' that mug of his.

[bareknuckled]

It ends up bein' me in the end, yeah? Just as stuck with you as Meyer is.

[ because what's charlie's is meyer's and vice versa. including benny. as if there's no bigger affections there. ]

[gonna]

And every day after, a gift.

[bookeeping]

Thank you, I think what happens in my bed can be left alone.

[bookeeping]

You don't think the black eye improves it?

omg that icon my fave

[bareknuckled]

Gift's not what I'd call it, jerkoff.

[ no, it is but like hell is charlie using those particular words. ]
