Blood Ties and Unspoken Truths
Merab
Thump knows you were in the valley, child. With Megan. And at Little Arthur’s. He knows what you want to ask, and he don’t want to hear it.
Ree

Ree
So, I guess come the nut-cutting, blood don’t really mean shit to the big man. Am I understanding that right?
Merab
Don’t you dare. Don’t! I want you to listen to me, child. You need to turn around, and get yourself on home. Don’t you make me come out here and tell you again!

Ain’t you got no men could do this?

No, Ma’am, I don’t.
