![]() also, I know the book goes more into nerdy/JH, but if we pretend the book=/=movie, the resentful kid angle makes for a good motive. and this sense of holding himself to a moral standard in that respect at the cost of hiring someone more competent/reliable could still fall under a pride goeth before the fall theme. It seemed reasonable enough as a thing for a father to say to a son who acts entitled & got himself into debt expecting his rich dad would bail him out and could also be taken to mean JH doesn't blame himself for the mistake of conceiving with momma nerdy, but felt obligated to pay for the mistake by hiring on his bratty entitled man child of a son. this otherwise somewhat out of place line may have been part of why I had presumed a paternal relationship, and more specifically an illegitimate one. if the financial burdens nerdy faced were not in any way the fault of JH it would be odd to put himself into such an active narrative of asking that he pay for it-and if the mistakes were to do with this project it would stand to reason he would ask that people make efforts to fix their mistakes or something to that effect rather than pay for them. sounds as if either nerdy owed an outstanding debt to JH, or in some other way let him down-as opposed to simply making errors at work. HAMMOND I don't blame people for their mistakes, but I do ask that they pay for them. NEDRY I don't think there's been any debate.
