[ why is she saying it like she does? it takes julie a little to respond, trying to put her thoughts and feelings to words, trying to decide which words to share. she made them this. sure, they were all shitheads before, and maybe frank was the catalyst but... wasn't it julie who encouraged it? to take their anger and frustration out on the people around them. wasn't it julie whose eyes glittered when the thought of reducing ormond to chaos and frenzy became a tangible idea? ]
[ because she thought, for a second, they were like her. but they're not. ]
I'm not a good person, Joey, I don't think I ever was. I'm good to you guys - or I try to be, because you're my family, and I love you. But that's not the same thing.
[ They all had agency, sure Frank encouraged them, planted the seed, but Joey let it grow, just as much as the rest of them did. Doesn't mean it's too late to weed the garden and grow something new, even if it feels like the earth was salted with the havoc they wrought. ]
I like good people, Jules. Never been one to value things or jobs or rules a lot, but I value people. And I love you, so tell me you're not a good person. It's not me you're lying to, dude.
