...reasonable standards, theirs is a mysterious relationship, and from Charlie's point of view, a destructive one. Diane demands, just before leaving in final disgust, "Why are you always one inch away from being a good person?," knowing full well the answer lies in the tribal loyalty that keeps him bound to his wackily wayward kinsman.
