Quotes

[telling Dean Bodger and her son about his father, who was a brain-damaged WWII veteran she tended as a nurse]
Jenny Fields : Where was I?
T. S. Garp : He kept having erections.
Jenny Fields : Thank you. He was dying. I wanted a child. Seemed like a good way to have one without the bother of a husband around who had legal rights to my body. So, one night when I was on duty and the the wounded and maimed were all asleep, I went to him. He was asleep. But his erection was there, as always. I removed my undergarments and climbed on top of him. He woke up then. He said the only word other than his name that I ever heard him utter. He said, "good." It didn't take very long, and that once was all that was needed.
Dean Bodger : You raped him! You raped a dying man!

Dean Bodger : Death's like that. It just plain catches you.
