Quote context

[...]

- Maybe you'd like to drink to finding your people?

- No, my mother wouldn't approve of that.

- How would you know after all this time?

- After all this time you probably wouldn't care, one way or the other.

- You talk awful cold-blooded about them, don't you?

- That's life.

- Is it a big family?

- No, it wasn't. Besides me, there were just the usual two people necessary to increase the population.

- Mother left when I was a baby, and my father probably drank himself to death by now.

- Another man I know talks cold like that's my Dad. He's the most cold-blooded man in Ridgeville. Once he kicked me. Gee, it made me sick.

- I can guess why you didn't break your neck to catch that bus back to Ridgeville tonight.

- I probably would have got on and got off before it started out. Or I would have got the jitters the minute I got on.

- Anyway, it's gone now, for tonight anyhow. There won't be another one until tomorrow night. And now I know for sure, I'm not going to make that one either. Not the one to Ridgeville, at least.

- But I'm so glad you came to have a drink with me tonight. I was so lonesome, I like to have died.
