Quote #7
"You know what I dreamed?" Mickey said. "I dreamed some poacher got after Alice. It was ugly." (15.50)
Mickey doesn't relate well to people outside the family. His real passion and life-long love is for wild animals. Alice is an alligator he found young and raised, and he loves her like she is a part of the family.
Quote #8
"That girl's my flesh and blood, Sparky, and I ain't leavin' this swamp without her." (25.38)
Even though Jared Gordon is totally unforgiveable and the worst kind of a fool (because he hurts others), his deep-down intention is from a kind of distorted love for his daughter. No—he does not show it or treat her with love, but this is the most sensitive line Jared has shared. It shows us that his is a possessive love.
Quote #9
Wahoo was not prepared to watch his dad die right in front of him. Never in his life had he experiences such a powerful flood of emotions—fear, dread, desperation and rage. (25.40)
Picture it: Your all-time closest family member is confronting a maniac with a weapon and it looks like your loved one might be next on the hit list. What would you do? Wahoo loves his dad so much, he risks his own life to save him.
