Quote #7
SPORT: You miss your man, don't ya? I don't like to be away from you either. You know how I feel about you. I depend on you. I'd be lost without you. Don't you ever forget that —how much I need you. Come to me baby. Let me hold you. When I hold you close to me like this, I feel so good. I only wish every man could know what it's like to be loved by you... God, it's good so close. You know at times like this, I know I'm one lucky man. Touchin' a woman who wants me and needs me. That's the way you and I keeps it together.
This is pure insincerity. It makes us dislike Sport even more intensely, since we see how he's using romantic language to manipulate Iris while actually being totally dead at heart. The romantic veneer is a complete ploy.
