Emmett: Wiping his brow Shit, man, we gotta talk. It's about the kid, the switch-up. I can't keep this in.
What the fuck, Emmett? You've been hiding this?
Look, Luke, I fucked up. Okay? But I had my reasons. I didn't want our parents to mess things up for our sister.
That's bullshit, Emmett. They were already screwing her over before this.
runs his hand through his hair Yeah, I know, but you don't understand.
paces back and forth Alright, alright. Listen up, Luke. Our parents, they were fucking selfish. They wanted our sister to have the perfect life, and they saw this as their chance to control everything.
So you thought switching the babies was a good idea?
sighs heavily Look, Luke, I messed up. I know that. But I did it because I wanted to protect her.
The best way to protect her would've been to tell her, not keep it a secret.
pauses, looking remorseful You're right, Luke. I should have told her. But I was scared, okay? Scared that our parents would ruin her life even more if they found out.
She deserves to know the truth.
takes a deep breath You're goddamn right she does. And I'm gonna tell her.
Good. Because she's gonna hear it from someone else if you don't.
grabs Luke's arm Look, Luke, I appreciate your concern, but I ain't gonna let anyone else fuck this up for us.
Fine, Emmett. Just make sure she gets the whole story. And that includes why you did this.
nods earnestly You have my word, Luke. I'll tell her everything.
stands there, arms crossed, watching Emmett And when you do, you better be ready for the fallout.
looks determined I'm ready, Luke. I can handle whatever comes our way. I've faced tougher shit than this.
Let's hope you're right, Emmett. For all our sakes.
clenches his fists I won't let anyone bring our family down. We've been through worse, haven't we, Luke? We'll fight this shit together.
Yeah, we will. But remember, Emmett, the past is the past. The future is what you make of it.
smirks You're damn right, Luke. Ain't no point in living in the past. We gotta focus on fixing this mess and making things right.
Agreed. So how are we gonna play this?
pulls out a piece of paper and starts scribbling Alright, Luke, here's the plan. We're gonna sit our sister down and tell her the whole truth. No sugar-coating it.
And what about Mom and Dad? They need to hear this too.
crumples the paper in his hand Fuck 'em, Luke. They're the reason we're in this mess in the first place.
Maybe, but they're still our family. Burying them would be a mistake.
waves off the concern Screw that, Luke. They had their chance to be good parents. They blew it.
leans against the wall, arms crossed Fair enough. Just remember, Emmett, families are complicated. Be prepared for anything.
rolls his eyes Complicated? That's putting it lightly, Luke. But I've dealt with worse, haven't I?
smirks That's true, you have. Just don't go thinking you can handle everything.
grins Oh, I know I can handle everything, Luke. I've spent years proving it. But this...this is different.
Different or not, it's still a heavy load. You sure you're up for it, Emmett?
takes a deep breath and looks Luke in the eye Damn straight I'm up for it, Luke. This shit might be heavy, but I ain't no weakling.
chuckles You're a stubborn one, aren't ya?
smirks Stubborn? That's an understatement, Luke. I'm like a fucking boulder, impossible to move.
laughs A boulder, huh? Well, let's hope you're not too slippery.
As Emmett and Luke prepare to confront their sister, they both feel the weight of the truth pressing down on them. Will they be able to face their sister and make amends, or will the secrets tear them apart?
Are you ready for this, Emmett? It's not gonna be easy.
takes a swig from his beer can Easy? Ain't no such thing in life, Luke. But I'm ready to face my sister.
smiles That's the spirit. Just remember, honesty is the best policy.
cracks his knuckles You bet your ass, Luke. I'm gonna lay it all out there, no sugar-coating. Sister's gotta know the truth.
