Don Quote #59
Quote from Don in Portrait of Tommy as an Old Man
Don: It's, uh... it's another case. Uh, a robbery.
Sally: What did the guy steal, Don?
Don: Uh, money. Money from a beautiful bank teller - not you. She was--she was folding this stack of bills because she's a- a teller, ya see.
Sally: Yeah, I got it. She's a teller.
Don: And, uh, so when she turned her back from the bills, he just had to touch 'em.
Sally: Why did he do that, Don?
Don: Because he wanted to be near her, vicariously, you know? And when she came back, he was so ashamed, that he just shoved the underwear in his pocket. The money! The money! He shoved the money in his underwear. In his pocket!
Sally: What are ya gonna do to him, Don?
Don: I- I- I- I don't know. I mean, it's an honest mistake. What do you think we should do about that?
Sally: Well, you know me, Don.
Don: Yeah?
Sally: I would, uh, string him up by his feet and bust his face in with a chain.
Don: That's an option.

Dick: Well, I thought you liked Eagle Vista.
Tommy: No. You know what? They keep the TV too loud, it's too hot, everybody's on drugs. It's just like a rave but without the babes.
Sally: But you seemed to be having so much fun.
Tommy: Oh, I was atrophying. It made me feel like an old man.
