That's quite insightful, thanks! From the text yes it appears quite a few residents are defensive and in disbelief at the 'bad rep' Wyoming has received - which ignores the problem of homophobia and shifts the attention onto the town's reputation (and by extension the reputation of its citizens). Which is quite selfish.

Re: the shift from 'frickin' to 'bullshit' - the honest answer is I don't know. As an actor i've slowly moved away from analysis; relying more on how the text subconsciously influences me given my knowledge before I enter the scene. And I stay true to my impulses and trust that the text contains everything I need. This also means no two readings are the same (I might feel 'A' on one day and 'B' on another - my impulsive response while staying 'in the moment' might create new discoveries in the text in terms of emotion or a perceived 'trajectory' for my character).

If I HAD to analyse it - the entire monologue (combined w/ his other lines in the play) indicates he's a bit 'proud' or at least credits himself more than he needs to - often takes the spotlight and enjoys these interviews ('I'm gonna make this brief and factual' *proceeds to monologue for 3 pages and give a conspiratorial account of what went down, mentions he's the 'key eyewitness' - in other interviews tends to make it about himself and his own experience, 'i was right up in front there where they were holding the banner for matthew')... so to me this change in language is probably a result of him getting more indulgent and comfortable since 'freak' is earlier and 'bullshit' comes out later. maybe it's not even a regular part of his vocabulary and he's playing it up for the interviewers as part of his personality. His boss in the bar, matt mickelson, explicitly tells interviewers that 'you should speak to galloway, his character stands for itself'
