I'm out at sea three weeks out of every month, and when I'm back at port, I don't have time for this daddy stuff, 'cause that's not who I am.

That's okay, sir.

Wait a second, kid, you don't understand. I'm too old for this. I don't care what the Navy says. This is no place to bring up a kid like I told you on the telephone. You're better of at that state school back at Virginia.

I'm never going back there. They treat me like shit.

Maybe that's not for you to say. Goddamnit, don't look at me that way. What happened to your mother had nothing to do with me.

It did. You said you were gonna come back. You promised.

Is that what she said? That's a female lie. That's bullshit! That a lie!

I found your letters. I read them right after she did it. You said you were gonna come back for us. You said you loved her, and she believed you. You're a liar!
