A line from Lynn

It would be easier for you if there was an angle wouldn't it? You're afraid of Bud because you can't figure out how to play him. He doesn't follow the same rules of politics as you do. It makes him dangerous. I see Bud because I want to I see Bud because he can't hide the good inside of him. I see Bud because he makes me feel like Lynn Bracken and not some Veronica Lake look-alike who ****s for money. I see Bud because he doesn't know how to disguise who he is. I see Bud for all the ways he's different from you.

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.

Lynn

So you saved her.

Bud

Not for long.

Lynn

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.
