Skipper and I were friends. Can you understand that?
Gooper and Mae said that Skipper...
[interrupting]
Skipper is the only thing that I've got left to believe in. And you are draggin' it through the gutter!
Now just a minute!
You are making it shameful and filthy, you...!
[Brick lashes out at his father and misses - and falls to the floor.]
You and Skipper played football together. Made a few touchdowns. Does that make him God Almighty?
I could depend on him.
On the football field?
At any time, anywhere, anyplace, I could depend on him.
Are you sure of that?
Yes sir. Sure.
Bull. Why did your big strong man fall apart? Why did Skipper crack up?
All right. You're askin' for it. We're gonna have that talk. That straight true talk. It's too late to stop now.
