I picked that up after your first few dozen slurs. They walk in my neighborhood. Shut up. You know that, don't you? Did your dad ever whip you? "Rosy cheeks." Ooh, just thinking about it hurts my behind. Usually he'd just punish us. I thought you only had a sister. How did your father punish you and your brother? Some of them would start crying before we even started fighting. Until he hit him, but he wouldn't. Ly. He'd lynch him and his whole fami n. So ronald starts hitting brian over and over agai but brian wouldn't even hit him back. What happened after that? Er. And that he's not my brother anymore 'cause he's a nigger lov what happened to your brother, eric? Eric? What happened to your brother? It's a story with a point. Sometimes the truth is easier to understand when it's in a story. You know what i mean? He didn't know when he bough t it that the dog was a cur. And it has no reason for being. Even a cur knows when it' s not acting according to its true nature. (gunshot) Because i knew that my dad had put that dog out of its misery. Paperwork, what else?
