[He's not even wasting time in following suit, downing the shot in one go before setting the glass back on the bar.] Then you and I think a lot alike.
[To that regard, he pauses and frowns at the sky.] I'm not too happy either, but it proves that the rules aren't just for show. We're going to have to figure out something to make it stop or throw off the pattern. Otherwise we're gonna have a repeat of today with more people getting thrown under the bus.

[This one he takes but he doesn't drink right away. The question feels more important.]
I do, but not without more incidents like today. That's how it always goes. [And it sucks? It sucks!!] I keep thinking about what that first broadcast said about how people lived well together for the first week and then started turning on each other. There are ways to stop that, but it's about making sure people know each other better than the last group did.
That's been weighing on me, too. I can't see a reason for us not to play nice with each other, but that means we might be waiting on the other shoe to drop.
Right. I'm not good at waiting but in a case like this we know we're working on borrowed time. It almost feels smarter to know when the change will happen so we can figure out what to do next.
[The shot gets downed after that.] And I mean that's how it always goes in situations like this. People start to lose it after a while and when the desperation sinks in, so the pattern keeps repeating. That's all.
Like I said. This place is the charm. [Not something he's happy with.] Sometimes I think it makes being here easier, but at the same time it just pisses me off all over again.

Do you think it's possible to get ahead of this thing?

[She reaches for the shot, but then pauses. Hm.]
What do you mean "that's how it always goes"?
