Quote from Red in I Can See for Miles
Red: Shoes are an inappropriate gift to give another man. Kitty: Well, what about when you joined the service? Another man issued you your boots. Red: But then he gave me a gun, so I let it go. Kitty: Well, why don't you just accept the shoes because Bob is your friend? Red: You don't understand how men work. We don't give each other presents. We pretty much ignore each other until someone scores a touchdown. Kitty: You should listen to me. I know how to be a friend, and you obviously don't, since you don't have any. Red: I have plenty of friends. Charlie's a friend. He saved my life during the war. Kitty: And when is the last time you talked to Charlie? Red: We said all we needed to say on the boat back home.
