I understood it fine. I just (perhaps niavely) think that saying "you were right, I'm sorry" to her and "dude, don't ever let me get that crazy" to him and everything could have returned to a near status quo. Even if it would have been impossible for all three to interact again I would have thought the friendship could have been mended.
I mean, really, we all know that guy who disappears/goes odd when a girl is in the equation. He gets welcomed back into the fold and is given hell for his transgressions.
A few humourous smackdowns do a lot for the healing process IMHO.
thanks for your input,
