What's really going on
Two kinds of longing run on the same track. Wendy's roses story is a fairy tale told in past tense: the small typist, the man who was "like the king," the flowers that finally spoke for her. But the note is signed by Billy, and elsewhere Billy is a man watching football with a parent who says, "I wish I never had him. I wouldn't have missed that game." As Wendy says Billy's name, someone in the house is already saying, "Honey, hold on, watch this play." Wendy's romance is warm and nostalgic; Billy's home is cold to the point of cruelty. Then comes the bet: "I'd like to put $10,000 on them." The scene lets you feel both the love he might have had and the reckless way he actually lives.
Theme
RomanceWendy's office love story and the roses signed by Billy frame the scene as a wistful, unreachable romance.

このシーンについての質問
Who sent Wendy the roses?
They are signed "Love, Billy," and she says the name herself. The scene cuts away before anyone explains why, so the connection between Wendy and Billy is left for the film to fill in.
Why does Billy bet $10,000 on Buffalo?
Buffalo is his hometown and the team his family is obsessed with. The bet turns a lifelong, passive attachment to the Bills into one reckless, all-or-nothing gamble.
Why does a parent say "I wish I never had him"?
The line follows the claim that Billy's birth caused a missed 1966 championship. It frames him as a burden that cost the family something it still resents.
Is Wendy the one telling the roses story?
Yes. The note is addressed "Dear Wendy" and she narrates the office memory, so the story is hers even though the flowers are signed by Billy.
What does Billy lose on the bet?
He puts $10,000 on Buffalo to win the Super Bowl. When the kick is no good, the money is gone, and he says he is ruined.
