Where'd this come from?

Bud

When I was twelve, my old man went after my mother with a bottle. I got in the way.

So you saved her.

Bud

Not for long.

I'm sorry, it's none of my business.

Bud

He tied me to the radiator. I watched him beat my mother to death with a tire iron. And he left me there. Three days before a truant officer found us. They never found the old man.

Ed

All I ever wanted was to measure up to my father.

Bud

Here's your chance. He died in the line of duty, didn't he?
