Harry:Β Okay. I- I donβt- I don't care that we're different... You know? I- What I care about...is you. I care about you. Okay? And I didn't say it. I should've said it, but I didn't because... uh... Well, (chuckles) 'cause IΒ amΒ an emotionally insecure source of your discomfort who's not good at expressing his feelings. Probably because I've been on my own my whole life. It's not an excuse; It's just...It's why instead of telling you that you're the best thing that ever happened to me, I-I make jokes about your ear lobes and-and I tell you that you try too hard, when, you know, the truth is: I just don't want you...to get hurt because...because no one else in the worldΒ mattersΒ more to me than you do. Murphy:(talking fast, amidst sobs)Β I...I do try too hard because deep down I'm afraid I am what everyone thinks I am, and I suppress my discomfort because I'm worried it makes me look weak and I wanna be strong, and I think I'm failing all the time and I only take what you say personally because you're the only one in my life who ever believed in me, even when I don't even believe in myself! And I should have told you that. No one else in theΒ worldΒ matters to me more than you do, either. Harry:...I have unresolved childhood trauma that I refuse to discuss because being vulnerable scares me. Murphy:Β I make dangerous choices because I have an unhealthy cop hero complex. Harry:Β And I didn't join S.I. because I wanted to work with a cop; I joined because I always wanted to be part of a pack... and the thought of losing you scares me because...because you're my pack.
