A scene from Winter's Bone 2010
Ree

What I really can’t stand is how I feel so ashamed--for Dad.

Teardrop

Well, he loved y’all. That’s where he went weak. Lots of us can be tough, plenty tough enough, and do it for a long stretch, too.

Ree

But snitching.

Teardrop

For lots’n lots of years he wasn’t. He wasn’t, he wasn’t, and then one day he was.

Ree

You always have scared me.

Teardrop

That’s cause you’re smart.
