transcript
            lucas:  ree hasn't responded to me yet
            al (offscreen): really?
            lucas: yeh...


            lucas: how about bee?
            al: nope. we...might have to sit things out tonight.
            lucas: ... :(

            al: we can still play on a spare lane?
            lucas: but...hh...
            al: it could still be fun?

            barry (offscreen): are you guys planning without us?

            allen and lucas look startled

            ree and barry are both scuffed up

            barry: heyyy......sorry we're late! hehe.

            allen: where's your glasses?
            barry: uuhhh...gotta get a new pair. lol

            lucas: ima take ree to the table
            allen: sounds good. i'll grab the food

            allen: you could have texted and 
            said something happened.
            like, it's chill to miss a day. 
            lucas wouldn't be pissed or anything.
            barry: oh, bro - this literally just happened 
            in the car

            astria is scribbling down her and barry names onto their card for the league

            lucas: you don't wanna talk about it...?
            astria: not really. i just wanna play bowling

            lucas: but ree-
            astria: i don't wanna talk about it
            lucas: ..hhnn...
            astria: im ok.
            lucas ...

            astria: uh, i'll go turn the paper in.
            i put bee's stuff on it
            lucas: ok, that's fine

            lucas sits in silence with a intensely uncomfortable expression

            barry (offscreen): pizza has been ordered!

            al's gettin' some shots for us all

            ...did us being late make you mad or something?

            ...or did ree-
            lucas: no, ree didn't do anything.

            ree won't talk to me. you better give me a good reason why you're both all roughed up.

            barry ...
            i...dont have one other than us both getting too pissed off and well...like it just happened in the car. on the way here.
            this isn't new.

            lucas: yeah, i know but you guys arent kids anymore.
            you cant still fight like that.

            barry: (snort) im sure we'll still beat the 
            crap out of eachother when we're fifty. this shit is 
            how we work

            lucas: barry, its...bad. its...like...yknow...

            barry: no dip, dickhead. im not stupid. and who are you to judge? you hit al when you fight. you only quit instigating once he beat your ass bloody.

            lucas: (shocked)
            oooookaaay you're going there. wow!

            barry: i wouldn't if you'd keep your nose out of our shit! i was trying to be cool about this! but you're comin' at me like im hurting ree just to hurt her! do you think i want this?!

            lucas: you have a SHIT track record, brendan.
            barry: and so do you.
            lucas:: this isn't about me!
            barry:: it should be.

            allen has walked into the restrooms to check on astria.
            
            allen: ree, you in here?
            astria: hey. sorry, they're arguin' out there
            allen: yeaahh we may have to cancel for tonight. it'll get ugly any moment now.
            ...
            you sure you're ok?
            astria: no, but it's chill. i...i rather just go home now.
            it was both of our faults.
            allen: yeah, bee told me. i know how hard it gets wanting space but...
            astria: hes my home. and im his home. ugh. gawd.
            allen: you'll get there. let's get ou-

            astria and allen exit the bathroom and are staring at barry, who is drenched in liquid.

            barry: he threw the shots at me and got kicked out.
            allen: dude.
            bary: great day to be a kitty!
            allen: that was $40 worth...
            allen: wanna lick my fur with me?
            allen and astria: no thx.
