Legend of a Suicide - Pg 117

   If you could have anything you wanted, his father said, what would it be?
   I don't know, Roy said.
   You're not giving the question any time to seep into your bones, me boy. What would it be? What's your dream?
   Roy thought and couldn't come up with anything. It seemed to him he was just trying to get through this one dream of his father's. But finally he said, A big boat, that I could sail to Hawaii on, and then maybe around the world.
   Ah, his father said. That is a good one.
   What about you?
   What about me. What about me. So many things. I think a good marriage and not to have broken up the two I had, and not to have been a dentist, and not to have the IRS after me, and after that, maybe a son like you and maybe a big boat.
