At the dinner table, the father repeats Ben's refusal of dangerous bar work and his doubts about his own friends' capacity for protection, then asks why his son does not understand their kinship.
The father remembers Ben saying the old-school friends could bring fear of death to someone who interfered. He resents judging people by the clothing of things and hears Ben's rejection as a judgment on his own era. The handwritten draft closes with the father's claim that Ben is his son; some letterforms still need confirmation.

A handwritten 'Last scene' after 'a beautiful dinner': the father recalls Ben saying he would not work in a bar because it is dangerous, since the father's friends 'from / the old school could bring the / fear of death into somebody' while Ben's boys could never give 'that feeling of protection to / a loud mouthed gunslinger.' The father blames 'to many people just / looking at the clothing of things' and ends hurt: 'if Ben believes that / sort of thing about my era, / dosen't he understand that he / is my son.'
This closing sketch turns the dock quarrel inward, so the father hears Ben's refusal as a verdict on his whole generation rather than as caution about a job. The short, unpunctuated handwritten lines read like dialogue notes for a final monologue. The last line shifts the argument from toughness and protection to kinship.
