How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
"We just gonna chill. We might try to find a party, or we might just finish off them beers and let the party find us. Then I'm headin' over to Keisha's house, after I take these turkeys home." (2.28)
If we had to guess, we'd say that every single guy in the car that night would change the decisions they made post-game.
Quote #2
Is it my fault that Robbie is dead? I wasn't drivin'. I wasn't even drinkin'. (5.2)
B.J. questions his choices, too, even though he wasn't drinking. It's not just the alcohol that caused the accident, but that fact that he didn't say anything to his buddies about it. Perhaps if he made different choices, his friend would still be alive.
Quote #3
"We ran around to that side but the door was bent shut and we couldn't get it open. All of us was screamin' by that time, 'cause we could see his feet stickin' through the windshield. His legs was cut and bleedin' really bad. All we could see was these brand-new Nikes stickin' out the window, with the rest of Rob screamin' and hollerin', stuck inside." (5.5)
We already know how Robbie dies, and what leads to it, but Draper doesn't let us off that easily—we get to hear the specifics of what their decisions caused, complete with gory details, so it's as though we live through the event with the boys, too.
