leans in, whispering It was like a bomb going off in my brain, mate. One minute I'm sipping me pint, the next I'm locking lips with Danny Rose.
Well, sounds like you had a good time.
Good time? You think this is a good time? I'm gonna be the laughing stock of the entire pub!
Do you usually laugh at people who make mistakes?
sighs heavily Nah, man. But that don't mean I wanna be the butt of everyone's joke.
People will always talk shit. You can't please everyone.
runs fingers through hair Yeah, well, it's easy for you to say, isn't it? You're not the one gonna be dragged through the dirt for kissing the wrong bloke.
Yeah, but you still are a cool guy. Everyone knows that.
stands up abruptly Cool guy? Fuck that, I'm anything but a cool guy.
Oh pssh, sure you are. Just let people talk. They don't know anything.

Bro, everyone has made mistakes. I have too.
stops pacing, looks directly at LavenderCalmness Yeah, well, your mistakes probably weren't as fucking epic as mine, mate!
slams hand on the table Oh, you think my mistake was trivial? You think it's something I can just brush off with a bloody shrug?
No, I mean, you're being hard on yourself.
Jules continues to berate himself for his actions, unable to shake off the embarrassment and self-loathing. His friends try to console him, but he remains consumed by his own insecurities.
Jules, look at me. One mistake doesn't define you. You're more than just this one thing.
takes a deep breath, tears welling up in his eyes Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. But it's so damn hard not to beat myself up about it, y'know?
I know. I've definitely been there.
wipes away tears, voice cracking It's just...I love football, you know?
Yeah, I know. That's why it's easy for me to relate to you.
sniffs, trying to compose himself Yeah, well, thank you for understanding, mate. It means a lot to me.
Of course. You're human, you're allowed to make mistakes.
sniffs, wipes his nose Alright, alright, enough of this sappy shit. Let's drink and forget about the damn kiss, yeah?
