For as long as anyone could remember, this Indian chief was in charge of naming all the children that were born in the tribe. One day, this brave comes up to him and says, “Chief, can I ask you something? How do you name these children? How do you think of their names?” And the chief says, “It’s very simple. When a child is born, and I see snow gently falling, I say, _‘You shall be called Snow Gently Falling.’_ And when a child is born and I see a hawk flying over, I say, _‘You shall be called Hawk Flying Over.’_ But tell me, Two Dogs Fucking, why are you so interested?”

No… wire… hangers. What’s wire hangers doing in this closet when I told you: no wire hangers EVER? I work and work 'till I’m half-dead, and I hear people saying, “She’s getting old.” And what do I get? A daughter… who cares as much about the beautiful dresses I give her… as she cares about me. What’s wire hangers doing in this closet? Answer me. I buy you beautiful dresses, and you treat them like they were some dishrag. You do. Three hundred dollar dress on a wire hanger. We’ll see how many you’ve got if they’re hidden somewhere. We’ll see… we’ll see. Get out of that bed. All of this is coming out. Out. Out. Out. Out. Out. Out. You’ve got any more? We’re gonna see how many wire hangers you’ve got in your closet. Wire hangers, why? Why? Christina, get out of that bed. Get out of that bed. You live in the most beautiful house in Brentwood and you don’t care if your clothes are stretched out from wire hangers. And your room looks like some two-dollar-a-week furnished room in some two-bit back street town in Okalahoma. Get up. Get up. Clean up this mess.

One day it started raining, and it didn’t quit for four months. We been through every kind of rain there is: little bitty stingin’ rain, and big ol’ fat rain, rain that flew in sideways, and sometimes rain even seemed to come straight up from underneath. Shoot…it even rained at night.
