ADAM (CONT'D)
                          I remember the day you moved in with us. 
                          You barely talked to me.  It didn't feel
                          like we'd been buds since we were six.

                                      JAMES
                          Five.

                                      ADAM
                          Naw.  I didn't really like you that first
                          year.

                                      JAMES
                          Hey!

                                      ADAM
                          When your ma and dad...
                                (pauses)

                                      JAMES
                          Died.

                                      ADAM
                          Yeah...I miss them.  A lot.

                                      JAMES
                          Yeah...

                                      ADAM
                          Remember how you were?  You were such a
                          friggin' rock.

                                      JAMES
                          Rock?

                                      ADAM
                          You know.  Cold, hard.  No communicating. 
                          I didn't feel like I even knew you.  I
                          cried a lot for you, you know?
                                (James looks surprised, but
                                 touched)

                                      ADAM
                          I think it was the fourth night - yeah,
                          Friday, 'cuz Ma made fish sticks.

                                      JAMES
                          Not the nose thing!

                                      ADAM
                                (laughing)
                          When I looked up and saw you with a
                          friggin' fish stick up your nose...

                                      JAMES
                          With catsup.

                                      ADAM
                                (laughs, snorting)
                          Yeah!  That's when I knew - he's my bro. 
                          The little guy.  He'll always pull
                          through.  And I'll always love him.

                                      JAMES
                          Awww...

                                      ADAM
                                (slaps him up the side of the
                                 head)
                          Don't demean my niceness!  Listen to your
                          big brother.  If you could make it
                          through that, you can do anything.  It's
                          time to quit talking and start starting.
                          It's time to talk the walk, bud.

                                      JAMES
                                (mock serious)
                          Talk the walk?

                                      ADAM
                                (confused)
                          Walk the walk?

                                      JAMES
                          Sock the jock?
                                (hits Adam on the arm and
                                 runs)

                                      ADAM
                                (laughing and chasing)
                          I'm going to kill ya, bro!
