Still trying to figure out what Scudder meant referring to them as 'Bert & Ernie'...Just trash talk?

They looked highly domestic during the short scene in their home with one making coffee in his saggy drawers and reading the paper.

I believe he was just winding them up because it seemed like they had their way with the women? Although it was never explicitly said, so who knows, maybe they were gay (didn't cross my mind though)

It was pretty obvious they were gay when he was serving breakfast to his partner in his underwear.

I don't think so. Maybe, maybe not. the only think we not for sure is they were bat guano crazy.

I would say my memory is not what it used to be. But I don't remember what my memory used to be.

Bi maybe as Ray kept breast as totems, and sent the one guy the cassette of him humping his wife.

Yeah, I didn't get that vibe at all.

Gay guys in general? Or gay rapist serial killers? Clearly the guy was a sadist. He wasn't doing it because he was kinda horny, he did it because he got off on causing women pain.

In no way does raping define someone's orientation. It's a power thing.

They WERE a couple though.

At the end he asks the guy "Was any of it real?" What else could he mean by this? Was our platonic roommate agreement real?

"Was any of it real?" was in reference to the ransom money, since some of the money was counterfeit (the realization of which started the cemetery shootout).

I thought they might be brothers.
