Red Quote #324
Quote from Red in Eric's Depression
Eric: Dad, I'm really not in the mood for conversation.
Red: Good. Then I'll talk and you listen. I ever tell you the story about Larry "No Foot" Mulligan?
Eric: Well, I can guess. He had no foot?
Red: Larry was a buddy of mine who lost his foot during the war. And then, on his way back to the States, old One Foot - at that point we were calling him One Foot - had his ship go down and a shark ate his other foot. But he made it all the way back home. And do you know what happened to him when he got here?
Eric: He overcame his handicap and, ironically, became a shoe salesman?
Red: No. His girlfriend dumped him.
Eric: Well, thank God it had a happy ending.
Red: Look, the point of the story is, you've got both feet. You'll be fine. Now, put some shoes on, go on down and trim the hedges.
Eric: Yeah. Well, you know, I think I'm just gonna stay up here.
Red: Yeah. Well, you know, I think you're not.

Quote from Red
Eric: Can I go now?
Kitty: No, no, no. Not until you eat. You look like you haven't eaten for a week.
Red: Oh, come on, Kitty. He always looks like that.
Quote from Kitty
Kitty: Red, you should go talk to him.
Red: What? Why me?
Kitty: Well, because I don't really know how to mend a broken heart. I've never been dumped.
Red: Oh, I don't believe that.
Kitty: Why not?
Red: Well, there are certain things about you that are annoying that other people might not have been as tolerant of.
Kitty: You're bald!
Red: See? Like that!
Quote from Red
Red: So, me and this girl Eloise were together for a while. Everything was great. But when things started getting serious, she dumped me. Man, that- that hurt like hell.
Eric: Did you cry?
Red: No! No, no. But there were times when I thought I would never get over it. But time passed. I moved on. And then the day came when I didn't think about her as much. Then a couple more days came along, and, why, I thought about her even less. Then one day, I didn't think about her at all. And then that made me sad.
Eric: We've got a little Irish in us, don't we, Dad?
Red: Yes, we do.
Eric: It's just- It hurts. You know?
Red: Listen, I'm gonna give you a few days to pull yourself together. You can stay in bed and sleep. Watch TV. Whatever you need to do.
Eric: Thank you, Dad. And, you know not that it matters, but Donna didn't dump me. I broke up with her.
Red: Whatever you need to tell yourself to make it better.
