Perry could be "such a kid," always wetting his bed and crying in his sleep ("Dad, I been looking everywhere, where you been, Dad?"), and often Dick had seen him "sit for hours just sucking his thumb and poring over them phony damn treasure guides."
Perry "umetxoa bezalakoa" izan zitekeen, gauez ohea busti eta lotan negar egiten zuena ("Aita, alde guztietan zure bila ibili naiz, non zinen, aita?") eta askotan Dickek ikusi zuen "ordutan eta ordutan eserita behatz-lodia txupatzen altxor gida faltsu madarikatu haien gainean makurturik".
