Three Sides of the Tracks Quotes

“Why do you hate Danny so much? He’s never done anything to you. . . . Oh, that’s it though, isn’t it? He and I are friends, and he won’t bow down like everyone else, and you can’t stand it. That’s it, isn’t it?”

“Jessie leaned into the car and stuck a finger in her face. “You started it. If you’d listened to me in the first place, none of this would’ve happened. That scum walking into my church like he owned the place. And you waving at him. For everyone to see. How do you think that made me look? Everybody in church thinking you and that freak are friends. And me just sitting there.” “Me. Me. Me. It’s always about you, isn’t it, Daddy? If you feel that way, what about Mother? Shouldn’t she be included? But, no, it’s how would Jessie Whitaker look? What would people think of Jessie Whitaker?”
