Gary hasn't matured in the sense of becoming anywhere close to normal, but we know he has matured because he fights for his friends (the blanks) rather than trying to recapture glory days in a bottle. | |

| Sep 30, 2013 at 13:45 | comment | added | Napoleon Wilson | While being a good answer, I'd still argue that the fact that he still wanders around bars with the "good old versions" of his teenage pals speaks a bit for him still being slightly stuck in his past days of glory. Yet your other arguments make quite sense, too. | |
| Sep 26, 2013 at 13:12 | comment | added | Name is carl | I said graduated because that is what it feels like. At first, Gary found demeaning for a man the very idea to order water. At the end, he couldn't care less. He really became "a man" and thus is not defined by his alcohol consumption. | |
| Sep 26, 2013 at 13:02 | comment | added | coleopterist | @Nobby But he's still simply playing around, isn't he? So how has he graduated? Good point re: foreshadowing in Andy's dialogue. | |

| Sep 24, 2013 at 14:10 | comment | added | Nobby | I would argue that it is more like a Mad Max post-apocalyptic film now, but then again that could be called a Western too :) I think he picked the blanks because they reminded him of his old group, and as for 'graduating', you'll note that he orders water when he goes into the bar - as Andy noted earlier (I'm paraphrasing here) 'it takes a real man to order water in a bar full of thugs'. | |
| Sep 24, 2013 at 13:36 | comment | added | coleopterist | Another excellent answer. That said, has he really graduated? He's basically modelled himself on a swashbuckling Western hero, has a gang that he protects, and goes into a bar to pick a fight. That's certainly very adult :P | |
