1.) “An’ you ain’t gonna do no bad things like you done in Weed, neither.” -This makes me feel as if they have been through things together so they have "history" together such as friends. 2.) “I could get along get along so easy and so nice if I didn’t have you on my tail” -This makes it seem as if George is taking care of Lennie and isnt too happy about it. 3.) “An’ whatta I got,” “I got you!” -This is pretty much the same, he is angry that he has to look over Lennie like a child.
