Quote from Philip in Not with My Pig, You Don't

Will: What did I do?
Philip: What did you do? You destroyed my image.
Will: Man, I didn't destroy nothing.
Philip: Of course you did. Look at that story. I've got to walk into that banquet room tonight filled with people who are going to think I'm nothing but a hog-handling hick from Yamacraw.
Hattie: But that is where you come from, Zeke.
Philip: Mama. I was just having a few words with Will.
Hattie: And I'm having a few words with you. What have you got to be ashamed of? We always put food on the table and clothes on your back.
Philip: Mama, I'm not ashamed. There are just certain aspects of my life I don't wish emphasized.
Hattie: Where I come from they call that being ashamed, Mr. Big Shot!
