Mama : (Still quietly) Walter, what is the matter with you?
Walter: Matter with me? Ain't nothing the matter with me!
Mama: Yes there is. Something eating you up like a crazy man. Something more than me not giving you this money. The past fews years I been watching it happen to you. You get all nervous acting and kind of wild in the eyes-( Walter jumps up impatiently at her words) I said sit there now, I'm talking to you!
Walter: Mama-I don't need no nagging at me today.
Mama: Seem like you getting to a place where you always tied up in some kind of knot about something. But if anybody ask 'bout it you just yell at 'em and bust out the house and go out and drink somewheres. WAlter Lee, people can't live like that. Ruth's a good, patient girl in her way-but you getting to be too much. Boy, don't make the mistake of driving that girl away from you.
Walter: Why-what she do for me?
Mama: She loves you.
Can you possibly understand this?
