Stream of consciousness rant about his best friend Don:
"Don and Slow met at Phoenix College. Duane knew Don from North High. Slow was from Tucson, his dad was a doctor who died of bee stings. Didn't know much about him met him in the mid 70s. Slow lived at Don's parents' house for a while on 20th St and Weldon.
"Don's dad was a phone company guy and the mother didn't work. They (were normal people who) had these beasts, Don's* sister was big too, monsters. Mom was an Arkie and dad was a Nebraska farm boy, they hooked up in Tombstone of all places, she was working for the phone company and he was a lineman. Smart man nice guy. Meticulous, well groomed always had late model Buicks. Tried to get Don to do stuff but Don was so lazy. I said, you would have hated my dad. You'd be out chippin weeds, I did the work of a man at 11, he didn't tolerate pussies. I was treated as a possession, another employee."
Monologue by someone who could be played by Leonardo DiCaprio in a PTA movie in about 15 years.
*Don was something like 6'7 and looked like an old world giant.
