Understanding Family Loyalty and Consequences
Brad Jr.
Why are you lettin me ask you all this?
Brad Sr.
Because you gotta know. I gotta make sure you walk into this with your eyes wide, and know what you're doin and who you're with. Especially—you know, it's a family situation. You go out with us once or twice. See how it is, then you decide if you still want it. Cause if you do, that's it. It's blood. Don't break it.
