Fuck Horace & Pete

In this bar, there are the most ridiculous gossip and the worst family ever.

The gossip is funny because of those self-important little men. Here we can see so many absurdities: people discriminate when opposing discrimination and enjoy their own "wisdom" when they should be listening.

But the family, the Horace & Pete, is really making me sick, maybe because it's exactly the kind of family that I am living in, where I hate so much but just couldn't get rid of. "Rotten" would be the right word to describe this family.

Horace might seem nice, but he is so mentally weak that he never really thinks about anything but being driven by life and passing the buck to others. The only merit he has is kindness.

However, after the final episode, I would say it's not even his faults. Look at what kind of family he grew up from. Maybe this fucking family is the very tradition of the Horace & Pete, in which sense the ending would be a freedom as well as a tragedy.

Life sucks, and it will not be better. Even so, still I wouldn't kill myself and still I anticipate a better tomorrow.

Horace and Pete quotes

  • Leon: It's sad that it's so hard to show your feelings when you really want to.

  • Horace: You alright? What's up?

    Zach: I was charged $4.50 fro a Budweiser and that guy was charged $3. Just not sure why the discrepancy?

    Horace: He's been coming here a long time.

    Zach: So is that a privilege for just that one guy?

    Horace: Some people pay $4.50 and some people pay $3.

    Zach: Ok. How do you decide that? Is there like a list?

    Horace: If he looks like him he pays $3 and if he looks like you he pays $4.50.

    Zach: So just out and out discrimination? Are you aware how unfair and totally not okay that is?

    Horace: Here's the thing. You're getting more for your money than he is.

    Zach: How so?

    Horace: Because, well see you come in here and you make fun of the place because it's an old Brooklyn dive bar. So you and your friends get to enjoy that part of it and also you get to have a beer. But he just gets the beer. See, you're here ironically. But he's really here because he just sleeps on the corner.

    Zach: So it's like a douche tax?

    Horace: Yeah, kinda.

    Zach: Acceptable.

    Horace: Ok
