Yeah, I bet you know plenty about that. It's pretty admirable.

Thanks, Mr. Parker. Does that make you a women's libber, too?

Sure. My aunt raised me after my uncle passed.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Did she work, too?

Sure she did. Diner, grocery store, down at a mechanic's shop. Wherever she could get some extra cash.

Good for her. That must have been tough, though. Sort of lonely for you.

Hey, I'm tough. Nose to the grindstone, and all that.

Oh yes, that's what I mean. It must have made you tougher, too.

[ alfred maybe doesn't like him. maybe. possibly. ]

Alfred? He's a softie when you get to know him.

We talking about the same guy?

Well, which of us has known him her whole life?

Sounds like a clear case of bias.
