We met? You're a cop, right? Lady cop.
What gave me away - the tits?
A turn here, a turn there, and it goes on for years, becomes something else. I'm sorry, you know, for the man I became, the father I was... I hope you got the strength to learn from that. And I hope you got no doubts how much I loved you, son. You're better than me. If I'd been stronger, I would've been more like you. Hell, son, if everyone was stronger, they'd be more like you.
These facts were paid for in blood, so honor that. I don’t know if it will make any difference, but it should, because we deserve a better world.
Yeah, of course I remember.
Not too long ago?
10 years is nothin'. I remember everything.
Well, we can't know. What you don't remember, you don't know you don't remember.
That's some education on semantics you're givin' me. Hey, let's skip the deposition and I'll just take notes on your lecture.
I'm a feminist. They want to sell me a piece of ass, they got the right. Shit. You're gonna pay for it one way or another.
You see yourself gettin' married, Purple?
No, sir. I'm not a big enough asshole to put a woman and children through that.
I think it's a strong case.
You get paid to think that, right?
Steve McQueen died today.
We should do something.
We could go to Miss Minnie's.
Give me a break. I can't pay for it, man.
It's more honest than most relationships. You never bought no Saigon trim while you was over there?
Guess I'm a romantic.
I'm a feminist. If they wanna sell me a piece of ass, they got the right.
What is love? One name for it is knowledge.
You questioned people during this time, right?
You know another way to do it?
I ain't one of them burnouts. Y'know - come back and start bustin' guys up, gettin' high. And I ain't a bum. I keep a house. I pay my way.
Hey, I ain't judgin', man. Look, I punch in and out. I put on a suit in the morning. And to be honest, I don't have much of a life.
So why? Why punch in? Why the suit?
I don't ask myself questions like that. Could be I'm too chicken-shit, Mr. Woodard.
Do you like kids generally?
Do I-- What the fuck's the right answer to that?
You ever been somewhere you couldn't leave, and you couldn't stay, both at the same time?
Are we going to find Julie or what? 'Cause I can't live through this, man. Neither of us can. If we're not going to find her, I just need to know now. I can't go to sleep. And I can't wake up.
I think Mom would want you to move on, enjoy the family you got around you.
Yeah. She and I always had different ideas. I remember that.
