John crossed his arms over his chest while Murray sat down on a step stool. Both men just looked at Steve like he typically looked at them.
"We get it. You think you're too good for this place and you're much better than us. Don't see the point in you denying it now," Murray accused with a great deal of fire for an old man. "Look, I might have been born at night but I wasn't born last night. We wanted to like you but you just kept looking down your nose at us. Didn't matter if we tried to include you or not, you just didn't want to make it work." He picked up box with a medal in it. "World War 2 vet. Fought Nazis for this country."
"You don't just get to say you're sorry and it all goes away," John continued, "you don't even mean it." He pointed to Steve's shoulders. "Like when you said you wanted to go to the game. You really don't want to go. Looked like you sucked a lemon covered in poo when you agreed. You're too proud, too used to getting your way. Unless you drop to your knees and lick our feet, there's no way we'll believe a word out of your mouth."
