Storyline:A homeless, unemployed drifter named Raymond (Sonny Shields) appeared at their front door asking to "earn a meal," where Ethel confronted him with a shotgun, crassly: "Holy s--t! Who the f--k are you and what the f--k do you want?" She proposed cleaning the s--t out of the chicken coop in exchange for a meal.The camera shoots from over-the-shoulder of the domineering, tormenting mother as she issues cruel and disparaging words against Charlotte, and denies that her progeny is having a nervous breakdown:I will not countenance deceit against one of my own flesh and blood, but neither will I countenance any more of Charlotte""s nonsense.She also shares more details about he tragic accident, addingto a series of suspicious coincidences:Harry was killed by his own truck driverthe incident was witnessed by only his closest friends (Popescu and Kurtz), and no other strangers, except for the PorterHarry""s own doctor (Winkel) was passing by just at the time of the accidentHarry was pronounced dead on the sceneAnna: That [Kurtz] was the man who brought me some money when Harry died.Their love is not "at first sight" but takes years to develop.[Note: Their contrasting names reflect their polar-opposite attitudes toward life: the dark, angst-driven, eternally pessimistic but warm nature of the male, with the bright-eyed, perky, fresh-faced, effervescent and happier character of the female.
