#i love the juxtaposition of arthur being dressed and tommy half-nude; that vulnerability that arthur can't see yet still exploits

[normalbrothers]

that phonecall between tommy and arthur where arthur ends up threatening tommy by saying that if he doesn't tell him where linda & her friend are he'll come to his house and - do what exactly? he never specifies that, but the implication here is certainly that if he doesn't get linda back, he WILL be tommy's problem.

tommy on the other end of the line contemplates suicide

#i love the juxtaposition of arthur being dressed and tommy half-nude; that vulnerability that arthur can't see yet still exploits #threatening to come to his house is also something different than him being like 'i'm going to come over and beat you up' #it's much more insidious #and the thing is also that tommy is willing to tell arthur that he knows her whereabouts just not at this moment but after he's retrieved #aberama etc
