Listen, not a year goes by, not a year, that I don't hear about some escalator accident involving some bastard kid which could have easily been avoided had some parent - I don't care which one - but some parent conditioned him to fear and respect that escalator.

Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Brodie complains about escalator accidents involving children and blames parents for failing to teach fear and respect of escalators. The repetition intensifies his judgment; the line does not verify an accident record or establish the cause of any particular injury.
