Wade Carlton Quotes in Harry and Tonto (1974)

Wade Carlton: So I was broke. I rode me down to Galveston. Read an article in the paper... about catchin' sharks. Shark's good for a lot of things. Got a job with a Portuguese feller. Caught sharks till I couldn't move my arms. Made me $300 and come home. Hadn't shaved for three weeks. Come walkin' up to the front door. The wife thought it was a bum. Told me to clear on out. That's when I got into cats.

Harry: Your wife still alive?

Wade Carlton: Nope. Buried three of 'em. Good women. Bad diets.

Wade Carlton: [Having helped alleviate Harry's bursitis by giving him a muscle massage] I love my work.
