Understanding
Call From: Joel, Mobile
Rhys: This better be important.
Joel: Look, we gotta talk. I don't want your sarcasm and gruff shit either, I'm being serious right now. We talk or I'm gone. I can't fucking deal with another month of this-
Rhys: Talk. I'm just on the subway.
Joel: First of all, are you proud of me?
Rhys: Hell yeah, why?
Joel: Because, I only do this shit to make you proud of me. You know? I fight for you. I win for you. I train for you. And it feels like you don't see that? And I need you to see that.
Rhys: You sound like me talking to dad yesterday.
Joel: I'm serious, Rhys.
Rhys: I'm proud of you. I'm so very fucking proud of you Joely. You know that? Please, I know you work your ass off and I didn't know it was for me-

Rhys: No no no no no no no no no no he's my age. He's my friend. He's my brother and you're .. no no no no-
Joel: Stop that shit.
Rhys: Why? Why him? If you two start hating each other you know how awkward that'll be? Come on, Joel. He' 33 years old, you're 23. He's a dad with some hacked out family and god, just, fuck, Joel!
Joel: Rhys. I like him a lot. I care a lot about him and I like how he makes me feel. I want to see him and not have to pretend like nothing's going on and I want.. no, I need your support. Please?
