the shots scene never fails to amaze me. the fact that the only time where we see our trio showing their silly playful side in such a relaxed and smooth way is when one of them is quite literally on the verge of death, simply says it all. whether they were trying to make his maybe last hours more light and fun than usual or just as an old habit, the whole scene just sums up their relationship so well. as if they only feel safe to openly be truly themselves in life threatening situations, because that’s how they’ve spent most of their lives with one another. the feeling of being so close to lose your close battle partner and fear for you and your loved ones’ lives has become so familiar that it is almost like a nostalgic memory now. that it feels like home.
This is one of my fave scenes in the entire show, it did so much to flesh out the grownup characters more. The vibe I get from it is totally that this is an hold habit… just old friends hanging out together with a drink. (Much like the greenhouse scene with Farah and Ben taking care of Saul feels like they fell into a practised routine and implies a lot about their history and relationship).
