TheNo Country for Old Menactor described his dad saying “‘Guess what you’re eating.’
I said, ‘What?’
He said, ‘Either Oink or Snort.’
I said, ‘What?”
He went, ‘Yeah, that’s what we’re eating.
That’s who we slaughtered.’
I was like, ‘Why would you tell a kid that?’
It makes no sense.
Why would you tell your kid that, with any semblance of, like, celebration?
Or was he just looking to have an impact?"
Brolin surmised his father “was looking to have an impact.”
In front of you?
I mean, I could get into it."
It’s nowhere in my universe to say that to a kid.
Why would you?"
“He would work and then not work for a long time.
We would have things and then we wouldnt have things.
It’s like, before you get on the freeway, there’s red light.
You’re ready to go.
