The Pompatus of Love (1995)

Roscoe Lee Browne: Leonard Folder

Quotes 

• Leonard Folder : It was all neat, tucked in, and sewn up. That's why they loved that play, 'cause it would come into your office and sit politely, waiting, with its legs folded, the crease in its pants all sharp, and its socks pulled up! As though anything worth half a shit doesn't come leaping through your window in the middle of the night with its liver hanging out, a huge gaping wound bleeding, looking for just some safe place to rest a minute before the cops crash in and cart it off to death row. That's not what they want. They don't want surgery; they want a pill. As though a surgeon should stop cutting just 'cause the patient died. If they did that, we'd still putting cups and leeches on a baby's belly and bleeding fevers.
