Cory: "Hey, pop?"
Troy: "Hm."
Cory: "Can I ask you a question? How come you ain't never liked me?"
Troy: "Like you? What law is there to say I got to like you?"
Cory: "None."
Troy: "Alright then. Don't you eat everyday? ... Answer me when I talk to you. Don't you eat everyday?"
Cory: "Yeah."
Troy: "As long as you're in my house you put a 'sir' on the end of it when you talk to me."
Cory: "Yes, sir."
Troy: "You eat everyday."
Cory: "Yes, sir."
Troy: "You got a roof over your head."
Cory: "Yes, sir."
Troy: "You got clothes on your back."
Cory: "Yes, sir."
Troy: "Why do you think that is?"
Cory: "Because of you."
Troy: "Hell, I know it's because of me, but why do you think that is?"
Cory: "Because you like me?"
Troy: "Like you. I go out every morning, I bust my butt because I like you. You're about the biggest fool I ever saw. A man is supposed to take care of his family, you live in my house, fill your belly with my food, put your behind on my bed, because you're my son. It's my duty to take care of you, I owe a responsibility to you. I ain't got to like you. Now I done everything I got to give you, I gave you your life! Me and your mama worked that out between us and liking your black ass wasn't part of the bargain. Now don't you go through life worrying about whether somebody like you or not, you best be making sure that they're doing right by you. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
