Trapper and Frank in “O.R.”

It's just that you're a joyless person, Frank. You're a D.U.L.

Frank

I'm from a very strict family. We weren't allowed to talk at meals, we couldn't even hum. Anybody who hummed got a punch in the throat.

That's terrible.

Frank

I think that's why I became a snitch, so I could talk to somebody.

You were a snitch, Frank?

Frank

I'd squeal on anybody. Once, in school, I caught my best friend smoking. I didn't report him, and later I snitched on myself for not snitching.
