[Right? And even though he is pulled down in the undertow of darker, more selfish emotions Larry knows that Freddy would never have left without him and if he had to, if he knew it would not have been without a goodbye. That is what he's apologizing for, he figures. It's too late to apologize for being a cop. Far too late.]

I dunno why you had to still get stuck in the gut.

[Or he still had to shoot Joe. Now he clicks the lighter open and lights.]

Not like you wanted any of it to happen like this. Y'don't need to be sorry.
