Carrots
-David Bowie refused a Knighthood.
-That's their shit! We've got our own.
-Symbols of Prestige?
-Else why would John Q work his ass off
for a pittance? Awaits the Pewter Watch
of Sublime Recognition. De Man owes him!

-But you never rested on your laurels!
-Was up and doing with a heart for every fate!
-And boy did you have the latter!
-Win some lose some.
-Win none lose all?
-There's always tomorrow.
-Not always. Not the way it's set up.
-Then, you meet Saint Peter at the Golden Gate.
-And tell him to wait ‘cause...

Love in the British Isles
-Married twenty five years, so we sang Always
to them in the pub. Every verse. Molly the
Postmaster’s wife printed ‘em up.
-Touching, the whole thing.
-It was just lovely singing, and they cried.
They left feeling no pain. Still work to do at
the cottage. He was going hunting next morning,
and got her to clean the rifle by whispering
"When the things I plan need a helping hand."
-Charming, but I don't know if I like where this could
be heading.
-The old round left in the chamber thing?
-Dead? Him?
-Or a reasonable imitation.
-Jesus Christ!
-What she said.
-Must've been sad funeral, so close to the
pub party.
-The mistress wouldn't leave off yowling.
