As Del was getting up from the table he said, “Don’t you think it’s funny that we teach them agriculture, and none of them own any land?”
That’s when Daddy blew up.
“You got a problem with how things are run around here, then get off your ass and do something about it!” He slammed his fist on the table and made all the silverware jump. “Instead of sitting there with a linen napkin in your lap like a goddamn pantywaist, eating grub I pay for, the flan you asked your nanny to make you like you’re five years old. Go do something. You have no idea what you’re talking about. Nothing but a spoiled goddamn brat.”
what i find really interesting about this exchange is that the dad clearly expects the son to be grateful for the upbringing he gave him. he's pointing out the hypocrisy not cus the dad thinks it's bad [he clearly doesnt otherwise he wouldnt have raised him like that] but cus the son obviously thinks it's bad. but ofc it's a hollow insult because it's an indictment of the father, not the son [but he can't quite grasp that]
