He doesn't make the comment about how Billy clearly follows Goodnight anywhere, even if the reverse doesn't seem to be true. "You don't always follow him," he points out, because he'd been present for the exception to that. Still, he has to think that there's something of deserving in this, because it's a better house than he'd ever get and Billy has Goodnight to avoid loneliness.

It's much better than anything he's had before. Wandering into the house, his attention drawn to everything, he takes a little while before he actually makes it to where Billy is. "This is more room than I've seen in my life in one place for one person," he criticizes, even if he's a little jealous. "You think this isn't something a person gets for doing a good thing? You're loco."
