Jocko Madigan Says...

"You always have a problem, Patsy, because you can't keep out of trouble. You know that, don't you. You have no self-control . . . You have no more self-control than a bucket of mercury dumped on a marble staircase . . . Oh, you, you're like some violent disorder in nature, some large but unprofitable storm. You keep whirling in circles, Patsy. If you ever go more than 10 feet in one direction, it's because some woman is 9 feet away. Then it begins all over again."
