So I wanted to write a scene similar to the Elf scene where Walter gets pissed and tells Buddy to leave

Basic essence is annoying childhood friend causes character to lose bet with rival, and inadvertently embarrasses them whenever they appear.

I was thinking of:
>"I don't care that you think we're friends, I thought you were a bother ever since I met you but mother made me tolerate you, get out
More or less, but I also wanted the angry rant to clearly be a loss of temper. I feel them saying they always disliked the childhood friend seems too cold and calculated, but I really wanted to include the line of "we were never friends, you were always a bother" because it drives a massive wedge between them that causes its own issues further down the line.
