Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Rev appears with pork to be barbecued and Larry, a Marine, arrives. Larry is dressed in uniform, which impresses Rev. Rev applauds Larry for his ability to kill someone, noting that Juicy could never do so.
Juicy and Larry greet one another. Juicy finds it odd that Larry is in uniform, but Larry explains he thought Juicy might find it “cool” to see him in it.
Rev nags Larry to go inside with him to see the kitchen and Larry does. Alone, Juicy recalls that when he was a child, Tedra gifted him a Barbie doll he’d requested only to have Pap toss it into the smoker. Tedra appears then, complaining that she is certain her friends are judging her for marrying her husband’s brother. She insists that Pap was not a good man, that he was cruel and physically abusive. Tedra leaves to help with the food, but before she leaves, she asks Juicy if he is interested in men. Juicy is embarrassed but acknowledges that he is gay. Tedra asks if he is seeing anyone. When Juicy says that he is not, Tedra assures him that many men will find him desirable.
