   Are you sure? I think there’s a splash of trois in there.

   Ernesto definitely couldn’t handle a gym.

   I don’t think a cream pie would work nearly as well as the glove. On the other hand, I’m glad to hear that Ernesto watches cartoons.

   Touche. Probably some self-styled “tough guy” from Southie. And I live here.

   He should have asked to borrow everyone’s black crayon.

   BD is far from blameless, but he is 100% accurate in his assessment of the present circumstances. Still, these circumstances are helping him to crystallize a few things for himself.

   1) Boopsie is the woman he loves and wants to stay with. Meg was an emotional reaction to the stress of war, as was he for her.

   2) He has “got some ‘splainin’ to do” to Boopsie, and hope she doesn’t kick HIM to the curb. After all, he just spent several days trying to coach his best friend from the Army through that exact situation.

   3) Meg really IS the brainless bimbo he always thought, and treated Boopsie as if, SHE was. And he realizes that it’s not very attractive, and that he prefers someone with the capacity for self-reliance he has had to realize and accept that Boopsie possesses. At first, he found it off-putting because it was a change from the Boopsie he thought he had left at home. Now he is realizing that it’s important and valuable. (We in 2018, of course, know how important and valuable her self-reliance will prove to be when he loses his leg.)
