Quentin's imagined conversation with Caddy challenges their paternity. Quentin imagines, "I am my fathers [son]" will be refuted with "he will say I was not." Quentin fantasizes that he is not Jason's son because then he and Caddy would not be siblings and his incestual obsession with her would be acceptable. The use of philoprogenitive in this section may refer to his and Caddy's ability to have offspring together (particularly the child which Caddy is already pregnant with) or it may refer to Jason Comspon expressing love toward his own children (Quentin, who "did not" commit incest, and Caddy, who destroyed her father's name with her pre-marital pregnancy).
