"Hank, you got any opinion why just about everybody despised Nelson?"
"For one, he was real good to tell you what was wrong about you and right about him. That always makes everybody fall in love with you. Some say he was always like that, but some say he got like that after that first wife run off and his boy got killed in Normandy. Then with Sara and Woody, well he was just living off a her. His momma give most of her land to Carl, then Nelson sold his part of it cause he thought he had to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land and couldn't get no church to send him. So he didn't have much of his own by then except a car and his clothes. And he treated that boy something awful they say before he left for the Marines. So you can't say he didn't have a good beatin coming to him. Kinda funny when you think about him spraddled out on that lawn. Still, like Clarence said, it made his heart sore to see a human being get kicked like that. Like a damn dog."
