“A man emerged from the elevator. I am the narrator, he said, but thats beside the point. My sister is having a nervous breakdown upstairs and I think its because shes spending too much time with her loser boyfriend at Yale.
The kid eyed the man up and down. You aint nothin, he said. The judge smiled. Glanton spat. We can do that, he said, and the man asked him what it was that he could do. We can bring you back the scalp of this man, said Glanton, you just tell us his name and how we can track him down. Track him down, the man said, thats hilarious, please do, please go up to New Haven his name is Lane he wears cashmere cardigans give him a good scare.”
