“SEAN
My father was an alcoholic. Mean fuckin' drunk. He'd come home hammered, lookin' to wail on somebody. So, I had to provoke him so he wouldn't go after my mother and little brother. Interesting nights were when he wore his rings.
WILL
Yeah...he used to just put a uh...a wrench, a stick, and a belt on the table, and just say choose.
SEAN
Well, I gotta' go with the belt there, Vanna.
WILL
Uh..well, I used to go with the wrench.
SEAN
Why the wrench?
WILL
cus' Fuck him, that's why.
SEAN
Your foster father?
WILL
Yeah. So uh...you know, what is it? Like, Will has an attachment disorder? Is it all that stuff? Fear of abandonment? Is that why uh...Is that why I broke up with Skylar?
SEAN
I didn't know you had.
WILL
Yeah...I did.
SEAN
You wanna talk about it?
WILL
No...
SEAN
Hey, Will? I don't know a lot. But you see this? All this shit. It's not your fault.
