Beau
EVAN: Did I miss it? I’m gonna be pissed if I missed it.
LIAM: Missed what?
EVAN: Beau’s ass kicking.
ME: Ass kicking?
ME: What are you talking about.
ME: Flynn is here with me now. He’s the big spoon to my little spoon.
FLYNN: For fuck’s sake.
FLYNN: For the record, I am spooning my wife.
EVAN: So there was no ass kicking?
EVAN: Y’all suck.
ROMEO: I’ll kick your ass, Evan, if you really need me to.
LIAM: Now, that, I would watch.
JACK: Why must we have these group chats at all hours of the day?
DANE: Because they don’t have warm, willing women to spend their time with.
FLYNN: Some of us do.
LIAM: While we’re all here, I’m leaving town for a few days.
ROMEO: Everything okay?
LIAM: I’m getting married.
EVAN: Say what, now?
ME: Have you been secretly dating someone?
FLYNN: Not everyone dates in secret.
ME: For the record, we haven’t even been on an official date. We were just cohabitating.
FLYNN: That does not make me feel better.
ME: I plan to remedy that very soon.
EVAN: There could still be a fight.
ROMEO: Kids! Be quiet and let the adults talk. Liam, details.
LIAM: An old friend. Widow of an even older friend.
LIAM: Custody issue.
LIAM: We’re meeting in Vegas.
LIAM: I’ll have more details when we get back.
ROMEO: Is this a good thing?
LIAM: It’s complicated.
LIAM: But it’s the right thing.
EVAN: Another one bites the dust.
EVAN: That just leaves me and you, Romeo.
ROMEO: I’m not marrying you, kid.
ME: Good luck.
LIAM: Thanks.
ME: Daisy and I are official.
DANE: I knew you were different.
FLYNN: It’s annoying that he loves her.
FLYNN: I really wanted to kick his ass.
ME: But I do love her. More than anything.
FLYNN: I can’t kick his ass when he’s being good to my sister. But if he steps out of line.
EVAN: I’ll hold him down.
ROMEO: Bloodthirsty much, kid?
JACK: Seriously. Evan, you’re our medic. What happened to do no harm?
EVAN: If I’m not the one harming someone, then it’s fair game.
ROMEO: You need to get out more.
DANE: Just be patient. Saddle Creek has a festival about every three weeks.
ME: Really?
DANE: Not quite, but it feels like that sometimes.
DANE: Small towns in Texas gotta celebrate everything.
ROMEO: I’m going back to bed. See you fuckers at work later.
