Kept noticing how after every major put down...

Marcus went off Willie pretty bad. Granted that foul language was the norm between these two but anytime Marcus was extra nasty the next day Willie's drinking got worse and worse. Didn't help that Willie's father was a mean *beep* Marcus was constantly berating and demeaning Willie and his (Willie's) behavior just got worse and worse. Like an abusive relationship. I dig this movie but that part was a bit too much for me at times.
