Examining Options in a Crisis Situation
Boyd Now, let's just take a second here and take a hold of the situation and review our options.
Adam We'll call the police!
Boyd Call the police. Good. That's one option.
Adam That's not an option! This is not multiple choice, here!
Boyd Yes, it is. There are always options, Adam. Nobody knows she's here. I called her personally. Nobody knows.
Adam Her blood is all over the bathroom! Don't you think we got a little bit of a DNA problem here?
Boyd It's a marble floor. We can clean it up. A simple vote. We've got two choices. One: we clean up this mess, right now, bury it out in the desert, go home, and never look back - or, we can easily call the police, roll the dice, take our chances, and pray to God that it's only Michael who falls.
Boyd Our choices are simple: desert - or police.
Misunderstanding About Money Between Friends

Tina Right. Right.
Mike But I thought... Boyd didn't pay?
Tina No, Boyd didn't pay. It's 500.
Mike Cool.
Tina Straight sex, nothing kinky. Just...
Mike No, no, no. I'm not gonna try to use you as a hand puppet or anything. I just wanna...

Morality vs. Pragmatism in Difficult Choices
Robert Boyd Allow me to be the first to say that what we have done here is not a good thing. It's definitely not a good thing. But it was, given the circumstances, the smart play.
A Major Thin-Ice Situation Unfolds
Robert Boyd That's not the point, Adam. I mean, the room is covered in blow; Moore looks like he went at it with a fuckin mountain lion; I mean, the room looks like the Manson family stayed here a month. This is a major thin-ice situation we got here.
The Reality of Marriage Expectations
Mike Look at em. I'm amazed the windows don't blow out of their fucking sockets with all the ass-puckering rage in these soulless lizards.
Kyle I just want her to be happy.
Mike The same alarm clock every morning, same two pops on the same snooze button, same shower, towel, toothbrush, razor, blazer, hair pump, gel spray. It's a fucking epidemic, Fisher. You're getting married, baby. I'm not going to candy-coat it - it just gets worse. It's an eighteen-wheel cement truck that's going to crush every bone in your big body.
A Problem to Move Without Emotion
Robert Boyd If you take away the horror of the scene, take away the tragedy of the death, take away all the moral and ethical implications that have been drilled into your head since grade one, do you know what you're left with? A 105-pound problem that needs to be moved from point A to point B.
The Search for the Perfect Moment
Mike Dad used to bring home these sparklers for me and Adam, you know? Sparklers! We'd go out back, the three of us - and we'd hold it up to the sky and watch the explosions of light and the sparks, you know, and Dad would be all "Wait for it! Here it comes! Watch for it! Here comes the wahoo!
[laughs]
Kyle Wahoo?
Mike Wahoo. The sparkler would burn hot, then hotter, then even hotter, and then there'd be this one moment of pure burn when that little fucker would cook perfect, just perfect. It would only last a second, but that second was it. And that's what Dad had us looking for, man.
Kyle The wahoo moment?
Mike That's exactly right. Man - burning at his absolute. All the forces coming together - burning - just perfect, perfect harmony. That's what I'm driving at. Are you with me?
Kyle I think so.
Mike I have been looking for that flash. I've been looking and I've been looking, and I can't find it. What if it already happened, you know? My moment! What if it already happened and I didn't see it?
