Fences Act Two, Scene Two

Rose tells him that the state authorities went over and took Gabe from Miss Pearl’s that afternoon on Troy’s orders. Troy says that she is lying by saying that, but Rose says she read it on the papers they submitted to her. “You did Gabe just like you did Cory,” she tells him. “You wouldn’t sign the paper for Cory…but you signed for Gabe.” She tells him that he signed his brother's life away for half his money.
