Larry, I couldn't get out of this life myself; I was part of it, I belonged to it.

But I felt the same as Joe Ellison, and over forty years ago I got your mother out of it, and your mother never came back to it.

I did that much.

After she died it made me sick when you, all I've got left, began to go crooked.

But I had no control over you; I couldn't do anything.
