TOMMY: So, you gonna ask about her, or you just gonna sit there all sober?
PADDY: I know.
TOMMY: You know? What do you know? Huh? Do you know it wasn’t enough to drive west to get away from you, that once we hit the water, we drove north, too? Did your guy tell you what you needed to know?
PADDY: Just that your mother died in Tacoma. But you were in the Marines. That was all. That was enough.
TOMMY: Well, that’s too bad, ‘cause you could’ve gotten some good details. You could’ve heard about her coughing up blood on her knees in a shit box with no heat. Having me rub her down with holy water, because, well, she didn’t have no insurance. All the time waiting for your pal, Jesus, to save her. Did your man tell you that?
