Quote #10
"You was right, Ignatius. You can't go to work. I shoulda known that. I shoulda tried to get that debt paid off some other way. […] If that Mr. Levy calls, don't answer the phone. I'm gonna take care of you."
"Oh, my God!" Ignatius bellowed. "Now I'm really in trouble." (14.39-40)
Mrs. Reilly finally decides that Ignatius is constitutionally incapable of working… an admission that also leads her to believe he should be placed in the psychiatric ward. Somewhat ironically, the chance of never having to work, or go anywhere again does not make Ignatius happy; instead it sends him into a flurry of activity, and shortly propels him out of New Orleans altogether.
