I guess I did.

How'd it happen?

I stabbed her.

Otis said you hit her with a baseball bat.
Henry
Otis said that?
Becky
Yeah.
Henry
Well, he's mistaken.
Becky
Well don't tell him I told you. He made me promise...she must have treated you real bad.
Henry
She was a whore. My mama was a whore. But I don't fault her for that. It ain't what she done, but how she done it. Long as I can remember, she'd bring men up to the house. My daddy was there too, but it didn't matter none to her. She'd make me watch.
Becky
That's creepy.
Henry
She'd beat me too. A lot. She'd beat me when I wouldn't watch it. And sometimes she'd beat me, and make me wear a dress, and watch her doin it. Then they'd laugh at me.
Becky
She made you wear a dress?
Henry
You think I'm lyin?

I feel like I know you, like I've known you for a long time. I feel like I've known you forever and ever.
Henry
Yeah. I killed my mama. One night. It was my 14th birthday. She was drunk, and we had an argument. She hit me with a whiskey bottle. I shot her. I shot her dead.
Becky
I thought you said you stabbed her.
Henry
Oh yeah, that's right, I stabbed her.
