[Alex just frowns, and she puts a hand on his arm at that, her eyes meeting his own.]
I'm not saying it's not okay to go out and do stupid things and just to cut loose. God, if any kid has ever deserved that, it's you, Pete. And I know Richard is going to tell you to come over, and you're welcome but I also know that I mean, parents ages and all of that.
[There's no way that she ever would have done that shit, man. Richard may not remember being a kid, but Alex does.]
We, all of us, we just want you to be safe. Safe in more than just the physical way too, safe in the ways that are important to you, like with Spiderman and having a secret identity and all of that.
[There's a beat, and a little laugh.]
God, I'd never thought I'd ever have to say that. But anyway, next time, a friend's house, or throw a wild kegger here or whatever. But no more roof tops, okay? At least when you're that drunk.
