Quote #4
"Hillary Clinton is not going to be the president, so that leaves the door open for me to become the first woman president," Icy said. (8.38)
Icy, Reese's little sister, is an ambitious little girl with big dreams for the future. Her enthusiasm is infectious—Reese wants that life for her so much that he wants to straighten up and help her achieve her goals.
Quote #5
I knew it was all good on paper, but in real life it didn't go nowhere. In a way all the programs were alike. If everything worked out perfectly, you should be doing okay. But the deal was that you were going back into the same hole you had slid down before. (11.5)
Like Mr. Cintron, Reese doesn't have a lot of faith in the system. The things that sound like good plans never work out well in real life; people end up right back where they started.
Quote #6
I was thinking about you and me opening a business. Maybe we could open a grocery store and be like the kind of guys who everybody in the neighborhood looked up to. (14.13)
Even though he's in prison and his brother has been shot, Reese sometimes dreams about the future. He isn't hopeless—at least, not yet. Consider our fingers crossed.
