What keeps sticking out to me, reading this for the first time, is that we have no way of knowing Mike is alive at this point in the story! As last we saw him, Walky beat him to a bloody pulp on the floor and then slumped down all guilty-like. No one’s making a very big deal about it though, per se. Mike’s lookin’ pretty dead!
good luck with your dead ex-girlfriend, mate
Why’d you even go there then
If you’re gonna ghost, at least GHOST
But that would be thoughtless.
That’s rough, old chap.
Definitely in my top 5 Jason moments
It is pretty great.
Tact, candour…
“Sorry to hear about your old FLAME, she used to have such a CRUSH on you. Did you at least get to BANG her?”
Mike: dude no

To be fair, this isn’t the first time Mike’s had the stuffing beaten out of him and it’s probably not going to be the last.
It’s almost as if he likes getting the stuffing beaten out of him…
Only if you don’t want him to.
Clearly, if he said “Well, good luck, bro”, it’d have made all the difference.
Hey, one out of three ain’t bad.
One and a half. I mean, that’s effectively an admission of “I have no idea what to say here.”
…Come to think of it, not actually blurting that arguably counts as tact, so what the heck? Let’s round up to two.
Hey well at least you sort of tried?…You suck ass at this.
…but does he? I mean, how did he get Walky to raise his fist to participate in the fist bump prior to surprising him?? That takes skill.
I don’t think that’s a fist bump. I think he’s grabbed Walky’s arm and is engaging in a one-sided handshake.
I kinda see that now and it makes more sense, but my first interpretation amuses me more.
“Sorry, Walky but I’m not getting tangled up in this can of worms! My life is enough of a train wreck as it is!”
“Can’t blame ya, pal. See ya around!”
You’re a jerk, Jason
