About This Quote
The quote, “No wonder I want to be Robert Mitchum: big, strong, super-cool, with those Freon eyes of his. That's who I was pretending to be a minute ago – Robert Mitchum in Out of the Past.” This quote is said by Ben to his mother as he is trying to persuade her not to speak to him after he has been caught breaking into the house. It’s the first time that Ben and his mother have spoken since he left home and he says that every time she speaks, she gets closer and closer to him. She is becoming more and more like Robert Mitchum as he describes her as a woman who is strong and free, even though she cannot see it herself. He goes on to say that it would be great if she could see what a strong independent woman she could be if only her pride would let her.
