Quotes 

• Stanton Carlisle : [to the other hobos]  See how easy it is to hook them? Stock reading. Fits anybody. Never misses. What's youth? Happy one minute, hungry and heart broken the next. Every boy has a dog. Every boy has a beautiful old gray haired mother. Everybody, except maybe me.

  Hobo at Stan's Left Hand : What happened to her?

  Stanton Carlisle : What do you care?

  Hobo by Stan's Right Hand : Hey, don't cry in that good liquor.

  Hobo by Stan's Right Hand : [grabbing and drinking from the bottle before passing it to the other hobos]  You know, I had a mother once. She wasn't so good looking but she was mighty good to me.

  Stanton Carlisle : Hey. Hey. You fellas take it easy. There's not going to be any left for me.

  Hobo at Stan's Left Hand : Buddy, you're sure a good mind reader.

  [the hobo passes the bottle back to Stan who knocks it back discovering it is indeed empty]
