A scene from Witness 1985
Rachel Lapp

Your sister says you don't have a family.

John Book

No, I don't.

Rachel Lapp

She thinks that you ought to get married and have children of your own, instead of trying to be a father to hers.

John Book

Yeah.

Rachel Lapp

Except she thinks you are afraid of the responsibility.

John Book

That's interesting... anything else?

Rachel Lapp

Mm hm... she thinks you like policing because you think you are right about everything and you're the only one who can do anything, and when you drink a lot of beer you say things like 'none of the other police know a crook from a bag of elbows!'. At least I think that's what she said.
