John Bishop: Frank

Quotes 

• Daniel Sousa : [In the interrogation room]  So, I walk into this diner. This isn't a joke. I walk into this diner, and everybody starts clapping. And I look around at first, confused, and then I realize, oh, they're clapping for me, in my dress uniform, 'cause I served and came back alive, like you.

  Frank : You and me ain't nothing alike.

  Daniel Sousa : So, I pretended to curtsy. Played it off as a joke, and then I'm working on my meal. I look up. I see another G.I. walk in. So, I put down my fork, put down my knife, get ready to clap. And nobody else does a thing. Silence. That's when I realized they weren't clapping for me. They were clapping for this

  [Points to his leg] 

  Daniel Sousa : and this

  [holds up his crutch] 

  Daniel Sousa : . Clapping because I make them feel guilty, and they want to feel good. You think because I'm wearing a suit and I got a clean shave, we're different? We're not. We're both people nobody cares about.

  Frank : [sighs]  No one clapped when I came home. One guy was sleeping with my wife. Another took my job at the mill. We all got sad stories. I still don't talk to cops, even pathetic ones.

  [Sousa sighs, and leaves the room] 

  Jack Thompson : I'd clap, but I don't want to hurt your feelings.
