Curley's wide doesn't like talking to her husband because the only thing he talks about is fighting.

"Spends all his time sayin’ what he’s gonna do to guy she don’t like, and he don’t like nobody. Think I’m gonna stay in that two-by-four house and listen how Curley’s gonna lead with his left twicet, and then bring in the ol’ right cross? ‘One-two,’ he says. ‘Jus’ the ol’ one-two an’ he’ll go down.’" She paused and her face lost its sullenness and grew interested. "Say—what happened to Curley’s han’?"
