What's really going on
The trip to jail is really a scene about class and blame. Mark turns his childhood into a portrait of a drinking culture: "There was drinking. Drinking, drinking, drinking," and the money and time all revolved around it. When the talk shifts to who is at fault for the trouble he and Kenny get into, everyone reaches for the same story, that Kenny is a bad influence who twisted his arm. Mark rejects it outright, calling peer pressure a convenient excuse. That is what makes the sequence feel quietly stubborn: even driving to collect a friend from jail, he will not hand over his choices to someone else's account of him. "He was outta there right away," he says of a father who wanted nothing to do with the mess.
