"Maybe they tell her to refuse me. So they can laugh. They give her some money or something like that. But I dont let whores make trouble for me. When I come back there is no laughing"(181).
This quote is from the captain who just arrested John Grady and Rawlins, then proceeded to kill their companion, Blevins. The captain is describing himself to them by saying that he raped a prostitute for his honor, and does not take grief from anyone. Later in the book he is kidnapped by John Grady, and then taken by a gang to be presumably killed. It shows that the people who do heinous things to the weak often cannot take care of themselves in a real fight.
