But the second Lloyd saw somebody who had a great life, he knew he wanted something that great for himself. Mary\u2019s love for her husband made her glow, and misunderstanding it as attraction to her, what he wanted instead was to feel that good about his own life.

Sure, Harry and Lloyd sparred over Mary- momentarily- but in the end their devotion to one another shone through it all, and you know what? That friend is good enough despite everything else that\u2019s wrong. People tried to kill them, the woman they both desired was not available to them, they were poor, downtrodden, and absolutely miserable- but they had the greatest gift of all- each other\u2019s unbreakable friendship. It was that unbreakable devotion Harry had for Lloyd that ended up pulling everything together and making sure everything ended up for the best.
