A scene from The Last Picture Show 1971
Trucker

[about Billy]

What was he doin' out there anyway, carryin' that broom?

Sheriff

Aw, he weren't doin' nothin'. He was just an ol' simple-minded kid - never had any sense.

Cowboy

Sorta ****, you know. It wasn't your fault...

Another man

He was just a dumb ol' kid, never was good for much.

Cowboy

Didn't even know enough to keep his ass out of the cold, morning like this...

Trucker

I'd still like to know what he was doin' luggin' that broom around this time of day.

Sonny

[crying]

He was sweepin', ya sons of bitches. He was sweepin'.
