“When they came out I didn’t look at them. I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep.
The next day when I awakened about noon, I told Jan about it: “They caught me sleeping and didn’t fire me. I guess I got them scared because of Hugh. It pays to be a tough son of a bitch. The world belongs to the strong.”
“They’re not going to let you get away with that.”
“Balls. I’ve always told you I had it. I’ve got the touch. You might as well not have any god damned ears. You never listen to me.”
“It’s because you keep on saying the same thing over and over again.””
