Character in Drama
Foolish delight. You like. This is misery. What in the world's the matter with me anyway? Have you ever thought how selfish you are? I mean, more so than anyone else. Have you ever thought how many things you demand of life? Why shouldn't I without paying for. Oh, that's ridiculous. I've always paid well for everything I've ever got. But only in material. Oh, this is so stupid to argue with myself this way. Why do you do it? I don't know. You mean you won't admit you're wrong? There isn't anyone more honest than I am. When you want to be. I just always get trapped by it, that's all. Are you admitting, even to yourself, why you fucked the McLaughlin? I want a home. I want some place to call my own. Then why did you try to back out of the deal when you were told by Phil Stanley never to come near him again? All right, I am fond of Phil. What's wrong with that? And Kathy? Oh, she's able to take care of herself and their son. I can't stand much more of this. And yet it's going on and on. Oh, no. Because you've shut all good out of your life. Good. Stupid word. In a world like this. Good. I've got to stop thinking I've got enough to do to take care of me. Good. You gotta be ruthless. Got to take what you want in this world. Then you can kill that voice inside of you. Then you can find real happiness in doing anything you want. And that's what I'm going to do. No one's ever really helped me. I'm going to do with my life exactly what I please. And I'm not going to care who I hurt in the living office.

When he saw a car parked across the road. Forced to stop, he discovered it was a man who claimed he was out of gas and this was the only way he could get help. And the few cars that passed by had refused to stop. Now, a short time later, after Harry had agreed to take him to the next gas station, the storm is raging again. And the man sitting beside Harry says, if you turn off here to the left, you'll have a shortcut to the next town. Oh, good. You'll miss that mountain road too. Boy, this is terrific. These words will give us some protection. That's what we want. Sure do. It sounds to me as though it's getting worse. Keep driving. Boy, this is fierce. See that clearance to the right? Yes. Drive into a truck. What for? Just do as I tell you. What the devil is that? Pipe down, brother. Why you. I got a rod in your bike and I don't want to have to use it. Okay, now stop the car over there where I told you. If you agree's in. Boo, you won't have any trouble. You might let me in on this. Don't ask questions. You can't get away with this. You know as well as I do there'll be cars along here. Along this road, buddy. Now look, shut up. That's better. Let me get out. Oh, no, you don't. Now get this straight, Shum. I knocked off the last guy who tried that. I might do it again. Got to get out of the stairs and get out fast. Now hold your hands and back here while I tie them. I get back in the car and. I said get back in. Look, take the car. Oh, no. I need you. I've got money in my pocket. It's yours if you'll leave me alone. It's mine anyway. Get in. Let's talk this thing over. I said I don't want to talk. Now, in with. Oh, what truth it is. I don't get what you want me along for. Right, dad? You're not stupid enough to try to kidnap me, that's what you're doing. You know, suppose we turn off the conversation. Why don't you take the car? Just let me out here or any place. I told you I got some plans to make first and you might fit into it. What kind of will both be over the mountainside. Because I don't like conversation. I can't concentrate when anybody's yakking. Well, you're going to get it whether you like it or not. I wouldn't if I was you. I've come up against your kind in court, they're all bluff.
