You can’t live in the past.

In their eighties Toots and Sonny still arguing about their father.

Sure he was a tough guy but he was no hero.

Sonny said, Then he shouldn’t  have given Molly the two more babies.

Toots said, What would you expect, he was a young man and there she was.

Sonny still a kid himself when Dave moved out on Molly.

When Rose died having Babe, Dave came after the doctor with a gun.

Dave’s sister and her husband adopted the baby, and that was Babe.

There’s no way to just live in the present.

Sonny and Toots went to live for a while with the Braegers.

Nobody can live in the future.

The family gave him Rose’s cousin Molly to marry so she could raise the children.

Dave living above the bar with Della and half the family.

It was a time when it seemed like everybody had a nickname.
