Fun. He stops and turns around, hands coming up to form Ls with his fingers and spread out like he's framing his sentence.

"We are not bonding. We're not friends! I'm a massively flawed individual with avoidance issues and you're crazy. The Odd Couple this is not. The only thing we have in common is a woman who's dead. Cold. In the ground." His voice rises. "And she's not getting back up to give you the ass kicking you're clearly in need of. What the hell do you want from me Jack? I tell Angel not to be too hard on you, got her grandparents to stop calling you 'that murderer'. I even made them let me put your name on the damn headstone. What more can you possibly want!?"

Yeah. That was the thing about Sofia's headstone. Soon as his royalties started rolling in he went to her parents and made them a deal: he'd pay for Angel's college education. All of it. Anywhere she wanted to go. If they let him put Jack's last name on the headstone. Just like Sofia would have wanted.

So what more is Jack looking for here because at every opportunity Tony has tried to do the right thing and all it's getting him is a partially collapsed throat and dragged around graveyard at the crack of dawn. What's the point of doing right when it's never enough for anyone.
