The Inconvenience
-Not my first call and won’t be my last!
-I’m sure of it. And I know the subject I bet.
-Twenty minutes waiting for a little family group
to amble across! Time is fuckin money! Due at airport
and Lear all fueled up. What you think that cost me?
-Those animals protected by Feds. Endangered.
-They’ll be endangered when I get through all right!
-We offered to build a fence along that route and you
and other no-tax hooligans fought it like hell.
Then bragged about your victory in a full-page ad.
-So you wouldn’t forget it! No pool at new high school
either. Y only fifteen miles.
-Well, no critter remedy here anymore. Would you care
to shout anyway? Or buy another ad touting Power
to the People!–so long as they’re rich.
---
-That obnoxious little prick. We made him and
he began forgetting the very first hour in office!
-Out here in the wild, we don’t even take notice.
-If I hired you to kill them...?
-Uh uh. No federal pen for me!
-Well what do you...?
-Relocating. I’ll trap and bring ‘em up here.
-How much?
-Fifty thousand.
-Uh huh? That’s to start talking.
-Not up here. That’s it.
-That the only arrow in your quiver then?
-Poison.
-How much for that?
-Ten.
-Dangerous! I mean can it be traced?
-Know a certain good ole boy. Be something can be claimed
it’s from camp sites. Okay for us but toxic to our little friends.
-I’m still worried the whole business’ll come back here,
to me.
-Twenty years maybe. Who’ll give a shit by then?
-Go!
