Yeah actually, you are. I've kept both of you out of trouble for this long and I don't know why you're trying to make this increasingly difficult for me.
I can't afford to have fun when my brother is well on his way to being a delinquent, with the other about to follow in his footsteps. I know you two don't understand what responsibility is, but one of us has to be just that.
[ It's the only time they're all together. Even if he's feeling a little frustrated, which is admittedly odd for him, he doesn't want to not see Declan. ]
I wouldn't be Ronan because I realize the value of working hard and being responsible, and trying to keep a family together. If those are things the two of you don't like, then I'm not sure why I bother.
You have no idea how anything works, Matthew. Up until now I thought you at least tried to understand, tried to work with me, actually cared about this family. I have done everything I can to keep this family together and you both really don't care.
You're right. I should stop. But I can't, because I care about you both too much.

You can have fun without getting high, Matt! What the hell made you think this was the only way you could have fun??

And don't think Ronan isn't going to be furious about this, same as I am. You know he doesn't want you mixed up in that shit either.

Maybe I won't come this Sunday. Ronan won't reem you out with me standing there anyway, so I'll just let you two do you thing.

And you wouldn't like you if you were Ronan either.
But he still would want you to be there.

I don't want to talk anymore right now.
[ Now they're both upset it seems and Matthew wants to escape the uncomfortable conversation that he's not sure how to handle. ]
You want him to be like you and he's not. That doesn't mean he doesn't care.
