When the wind blew us off the land in Oklahoma, we left. After that, I never stayed. Not in the Army, not in Detroit, not anyplace.

Quote context

[...]

- You know, I just kept waiting here, and I thought if you would come home, nothing would ever spoil it for us.

- I thought of how I won't let myself see the way you feel about the money. How it has to be your own, or we just can't last.

- And you're right. That's the way it is.

- Only don't leave me, Earle. Please, darling, don't leave me.

- I'll never leave you. I've been leaving all my life since when I can first remember.

- When the wind blew us off the land in Oklahoma, we left. After that, I never stayed. Not in the Army, not in Detroit, not anyplace.

- I'd start something, if it didn't work right away, I'd blow it.

- And it was always something. A lousy captain, or a Polack foreman in the auto works, or it'd be too slow.

- I'm getting too old to take things slow. If I don't make it now, I never will. I mean with you, too. It's now or never.

- Aren't things ever easy for you?

- Only when I get mad. Then they get too easy. I think that's why I get mad, to make it easy.

I just can't make that jungle outside of my front door.
I'm just a bone picker in a four-man graveyard.
I did all my dreaming on my mother's knee.
A child can't have a father who lives your life. -Except on visiting days. -Not even on visiting days, but that's the law.
Some day I'm going to snap off your poisoned head.
