Granddaddy Clisby Quote #37
Quote from Granddaddy Clisby in Goose Grease
Granddaddy Clisby: And we were marching through this town, see, and I saw this cute little French girl...
Bill: Not appropriate, Dad.
Adult Dean: This was it. This was the bonding moment I'd been waiting for. I was feeling happy, feeling redeemed, feeling... very, very hot.
Bill: You okay there, Dean? Oh, you are burning up. We need to get you to a doctor.
Granddaddy Clisby: No, no, no, no, we ain't going there. All right? Y-Y-You can't trust these doctors. Well, they tell you they're gonna take your blood, then they don't tell you what they're gonna do with it.
Bill: Don't listen to him. This is just nonsense he hears at the barbershop.
Granddaddy Clisby: You remember your cousin Darnell? Well, he's being treated by some doctors over at Tuskegee in some special studies, but I'm telling you, the man is only getting worse.
Adult Dean: Yeah, that's the one the history books still don't talk about enough.
