Gus: Amplify. *shakes head* definitely amplify.
Vernon: Yeah, them two seem to draw out the worst aspects of one another when set in the same room.
Gus: I always took Ulric for a harmless goof, right?
Vernon: He is.
Gus: I know, but when he had the three of us up on the school's roof that night, I mean...I was already nervous. It was the most drastic thing he'd ever done. So I was...less certain I had him pegged right. But Joel being Joel...he just couldn't keep his mouth shut.
Broomie: Joel started egging him on, and playing into his delusions and just...amping him up to the point where he was raving like a mad dog.
Gus: Started raving? He was raving like a mad dog when he got us up there.
Broomie: Okay, fine. A madder dog then.
Gus: I remember when Joel started egging him to throw him off the roof. Remember that Broomie?
Broomie: How could I forget? Sweet Sawgrass...He was daring him. Telling him he wouldn't do it. Even called him a pussy.
Vernon: Didn't y'all tell me that Joel said once Ully threw him, he'd fly? Somethin' like that?
Gus: Apparently the type of alien your brother thought he was could fly somehow? Something about fake wool hiding air sacks in his neck? It was hard to understand, by that point Joel had him worked up to the point where all his words were bleeding together. But Joel said that once he flew back up, he would melt Ulric's brain with his laser vision.
Vernon:*Shakes Head* Lamb Sakes...
Gus: *Chuckles* Lamb Sakes?
Vernon: Sorry, the misses vocabulary is startin' to bleed into mine. *Chuckles*
Broomie: At least you had the brilliant idea of convincing Ulric to chloroform Joel again. For his own protection of course...I was too busy freaking out to manage to keep my cool like that.
Gus: Yeah, Joel still act like that was some sort of great betrayl on my part. *Snorts* It's like 'Dude, you were toying with a mentally unstable persons already fragile psyche!” It's like, did he want him to kill us?
Vernon: Ully would never do that.
Gus: Under normal circumstances, sure. But... I mean you didn't see the look in his eyes that night Vern. While Joel was teasing him. There was a moment there...I was sure we were going off the roof, one after the other.
Vernon:...Have I mentioned lately how grateful my family was that y'all didn't press charges?
Gus: Not enough times.
