Quotes

  • “It was the poor part of town—small houses and courts with mailboxes full of spiders, mailboxes hanging by one nail, old women inside rolling cigarettes and chewing tobacco and humming to their canaries and watching you, an idiot lost in the rain.”
  • “Any damn fool can beg up some kind of job; it takes a wise man to make it without working.”
  • "Wouldn't you like to come in and have a cup of tea and dry off?" / "Lady, don't you realize that we don't even have time to pull up our shorts?" / "Pull up your shorts?" / "YES, PULL UP OUR SHORTS!" I screamed at her and walked off into the wall of water.
