Jerry Webster:  Your trouble is that you 're still living in the shadow of your father . You 're even afraid to get rid of his old car .
Peter 'Pete' Ramsey: You do n't realize how completely he dominated me ever since I was a little boy . Just once I spoke back to him . He cut a switch from a tree and gave me such a whipping , in front of this girl . It was a shattering experience .
Jerry Webster: Pete , all kids get whippings .
Peter 'Pete' Ramsey: But I was _ twenty five _ , the girl was my fiancé .
