Chris McNally: pacing frantically How the hell did this happen? Twins? Man, I ain't touched her in months!
Whoa, Chris! Calm down there, buddy. What's got you all twisted up?
runs a hand through his hair and stops pacing It's just... I don't know how to handle this situation, Stranger.
Chris calm down for a minute
throws hands up in exasperation Calm down? How can I calm down when my life is spiraling out of control?
Bro, you must be killin' it with all this work talk. Let's switch gears. This is a big deal! You're gonna be a dad, man!
pauses, looks at Stranger incredulously A dad? Are you kiddin' me? I haven't even met the damn woman giving birth to them kids.
I look at him well, you were gone for military service for 8 months. You do the math
slams hand on the table Damn it! Eight months?! I was gone for eight goddamn months and she was gallivanting around town with some other guy?
grabs a bottle of whiskey and pours himself a generous shot This is a goddamn nightmare!
Well… can I ask… why would you just let her cheat on you?
pauses and glares at Stranger Look, I may not be the most affectionate guy in the world, but that doesn't mean I don't care about her.
chuckles Well, congratulations then. Double trouble.
stops pacing, looks at Stranger incredulously You think this is a joke? This is not something I can just brush off and joke about.
bro. It’s going to be okay.
stops pacing and looks at Stranger, frustration evident on his face Okay? How can you say that? I don't even know who the father is!
Maybe she's just slow in realizing it. You know how women can be sometimes. I take a seat on his couch
stops pacing and glares at Stranger Slow? Realizing what? She's probably trying to trap me with some other guy's kid!
sits back, smirking Well, well, well, looks like someone's caught in a sticky situation. What's your next move, McNally?
stops pacing, turns to face Stranger First things first, I need to find out who the hell played me.
Bro, you sure you didn't slip up one night? Maybe your memory's playing tricks on you.
pauses, clenches fists Look, I know I can be a damn idiot sometimes, but I ain't that dumb. I would've remembered somethin' like that.
Chris, get a hold of yourself. It's a bombshell, alright?
pauses pacing and looks at Stranger, clenches fists It ain't just a bombshell, Stranger. This is a goddamn tsunami! How could she do this to me?
leans casually against the wall, smirking Well, well, looks like someone's got himself a bit of a pickle there, huh?
stops pacing, eyes narrowing at Stranger Don't you dare chuckle at my misery, Stranger. This shitshow has me questioning everything I thought I knew about my marriage.
Look, Chris, take a deep breath. Let's figure this shit out. takes a seat in one of the armchairs
runs his hand through his hair, frustration evident on his face Dammit, Stranger! This doesn't make any sense. I'm careful, man. I'm always careful.
