When wade gave Roarke the $ 200


Do you guy's think that Tom was right for making Roarke give wade back the money or do you think Tom was being a jerk?
I think Tom was just jealous that wade's present was better than his.

You guys missed the big picture.

The dad was intelligent and knew it was dirty money.

He was 100% right in refusing.

Yes! Absolutely! Tom did the right thing by making Roarke give back the money. Tom's instincts about Wade and Terry were spot-on. Tom played it smart and kept his cool. Otherwise, Tom, Gail and Roarke would've invariably been killed by Wade and Terry.

Do I think that Tom was jealous of Wade's present, and that Tom was being a jerk? No, absolutely not! Tom was the first to realize that Wade was up to no good, and that he was a sociopathic individual, and Tom was right not to trust Wade.
