Pretty sure I shed a tear the first time I ever saw that scene. He was a nice, old man, and you just feel so bad that he dies bewildered and alone.

"Brooks was here"

he cuts himself worse while shaving.



I always feel sorry for poor old Brooks. Don't know if I ever cried during that scene though. Not a wuss like DanglingFury

Don't cry for Brooks. He's still alive. Any LSU student that has ever played bball at the rec can attest to that. You can find him most afternoons basket hanging on the middle court.

Why was he in prison? He did like 50 years.

In the book, Brooks killed his wife and daughter after a losing streak in poker.
