Slim:
[about Lennie]
He's a nice fella. A guy don't need no sense to be a nice fella. George:
Yeah, but he gets in trouble all the time because he's so goddamn dumb, like what happened up north in Weed. Slim:
[curiously pauses]
What he do in Weed? George:
He seen this girl... in a red dress. And the dumb bastard that he is, he just - he wants to touch everything he likes. So he reaches out to touch this red dress. So the girl starts screaming and that gets Lennie all mixed up. So he holds on and he won't let go, because that's the only thing he can think to do. Slim:
So what happened? George:
Well, she runs off across the field screaming. So me and Lennie take off running, and pretty soon here are a bunch of guys with dogs coming after us. We had to hide in the irrigation ditch until it was safe to get away. Slim:
He didn't hurt the girl none? George:
Hell, no, he just scared her. Slim:
