Well, if you say you haven’t, you’re a prude. If you say you have you’re a slut. It’s a trap. You want to but you can’t, and when you do you wish you didn’t, right?

I set dinner on the dining room sideboard at 6:00. Breakfast is ready at 9:00. I don’t stay after dinner. Not after it begins to get dark. We live in town, nine miles… So there won’t be anyone around if you need help… We couldn’t even hear you. No one could. No one lives any nearer than town… No one will come any nearer than that. In the night… In the dark.

All the animals come out at night - whores, skunk pussies, buggers, queens, fairies, dopers, junkies, sick, venal. Someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets. I go all over. I take people to the Bronx, Brooklyn, I take 'em to Harlem. I don’t care. Don’t make no difference to me. It does to some. Some won’t even take spooks. Don’t make no difference to me.
