Quote context
[...]
- I buy them by the dozen, just the way people buy eggs.
- And then they see me coming in the market, and they say, here comes the lobster man. Here he comes.
- And then... I know it sounds crazy, but then I do this little dance, and I sing.
- Mama's little Joyboy want lobster, lobster. Mama's little Joyboy want lobster for mom.
- And then the whole dream changes. I don't know... it becomes like a nightmare.
- And suddenly, I start to cry, because I feel that I've let mom down again.
- That's all right, Laf, she says. I'll take them the way they are.
- But they don't stop. They just keep on clawing and biting. And then finally... There's no more mom.
