This is Jack defining "cabin fever" for Ullman on his job interview. Next time you go on a job interview, you can use these lines, too.
Quote #2
Come out! Come out, you little s***. Take your medicine!" (4.45).
Danny hears these lines for the first when he's with Tony, early in the novel. It won't be the last time, that's for sure. These are the lines Jack's father used on Jack, and which Jack will use on Danny in the not so distant future.
