You scurvy shyster bastard... I'll be on a plane to that faggot village of yours by midnite, and I'll come with big goddamned saps. You can run all you like, but by 3 tomorrow, hell or high water, you'll be lashed to a bridge and beaten like a whore in a Taliban smokeshack.
Good enough? I'm rusty...
I am far too pretty to ever be compared to Steve Forbes. You take that back. it's just goddamned mean and rotten. You're no fucking good, Mr. Slothrop.
Hunter was more a contrarian. He believed in the country too much to be a cynic. Its what killed him. I've lost faith and am treading into a Menckenish harbor or paranoia and alcohol's soft middle age.
