Quote context

[...]

- Oh, you poor child. You can be sure I never would have mentioned it now, only...

- Well, has Jack ever told you anything about his childhood?

- No, why?

- We were very poor after my husband died. In fact, we had nothing.

- Jack had to do chores before school and after school, and then, after chores, he studied in the evening, so he could go to college.

- Then he had to work his way through college and through law school.

- Oh, I don't mean there's anything unusual about it. But I'm only trying to tell you that he worked very hard to get where he is. Very, very hard.

- And, well, he's my son, and I wouldn't want anything or anyone to spoil it for him now.

- I see. But I don't see why anything should spoil it for him, do you?

- He's in love with you.

- Oh, no, he isn't in love with me. He's never had any more interest in me than panhandler he'd buy a meal for.

- Are you sure?

- Of course, I'm sure.

- He kissed you tonight.

- Well, I'm not exactly ugly.
