Lois, Ida and others in “Ida loses a Leg”

Lois

[bringing Francis back when he tries to leave] Get back in here, we are not having this argument again.

Ida

Let him go. [about Dewey] It's the little one who owes me his life.

Francis

See? Even she thinks so.

Lois

Francis, everyone else in this family either has school or a job. So you're staying here and helping your grandmother.

Ida

I DON'T NEED HELP!!! Look at him, he's got nothing in between his legs and he manages.

Francis

If you think I'm beyond punching you, you're totally wrong.

Ida

Of course you'd hit a cripple. You couldn't get a white girl to marry you.
