I Should've Gone Away With You, Explained: get over on

A reunion turns into a negotiation: one side admits 'I should've gone away with you,' while the other keeps the door open with 'You know I can't do it without you.' Under the apology is a practical question—can they trust each other for one more con?

Qué pasa

After a confrontation over someone named Edith, the talk shifts to the damage Richie has caused and a threat from Tellegio. A question about where someone is leads to 'the field office on 61st Street,' and later a quieter exchange turns into an apology and a pitch to work together again.

I Should've Gone Away With You, explicado

What's really going on

The scene keeps circling the same question: who is exposed and who can still walk away. 'What Richie's got us into is worse than jail' turns the trouble into a shared liability, and the threat that 'He's gonna kill you' makes the danger personal. By the time someone says 'I should've gone away with you' and 'I wish I could get you back,' the practical pitch and the personal regret are impossible to separate. The line 'You know I can't do it without you' can be heard as both an apology and a recruiting argument.

Theme

TrustThe apology and the plan are tangled: 'You know I can't do it without you' sounds personal, but it also asks for help with the con.
DeceptionEven the reunion doubles as strategy talk about getting over on everyone, so warmth and calculation share the same lines.

Escucha con atención

I just don't give a fuck anymore.

The speaker has stopped caring what happens; the crude wording signals total emotional exhaustion or defiance.

What Richie's got us into is worse than jail.

The situation Richie pulled them into feels more dangerous than prison; 'got us into' points to someone dragging the group into trouble.

I should've gone away with you.

A regret: the speaker wishes they had left with the other person instead of staying behind.

I wish I could get you back.

The speaker wants to win the other person back, but 'I wish I could' makes it sound uncertain or blocked.

You know I can't do it without you.

The speaker calls the other person indispensable—part apology, part request to work together again.

Preguntas sobre esta escena

Why is Richie blamed for the situation?

Because 'What Richie's got us into is worse than jail' makes him the source of the danger. The next lines then ask who Tellegio will come after once he finds out.

What does 'get over on all these guys' mean?

It means to outsmart or get the better of everyone involved. In context it is the next move to think about: 'That's what we need to be thinking about right now.'

What past choice does someone regret?

Leaving alone instead of going away with the other person. 'I should've gone away with you' is followed by 'I wish I could get you back,' so the regret is personal as well as practical.

Why mention the field office on 61st Street?

It answers the question 'Where are you right now?' The reply fixes the location, and the next line says someone is coming there 'right now,' so the answer quickly turns into a threat.
