Leviathan Smiles
" Leviathan Smiles " "The latest news" I fail to understand, if I who am most effect am not disturbed, why you should be Perhaps I'm disturbed by a reason different from what you believe Forgive me then for believing the one you've given I disapprove of changing from day to day when the school is to be relocated Speak to the theater people then What disturbs me is your accepting the uncertainty without quarrel For whatever reason, the theater people keep deferring their moving in I don't want the children to feel they're leaving vacant what has been their place of education I want them to leave it as a place with new life Fine, Martha What good would quarreling with them do? Fine It seems you waked intent we quarrel Nor, may I say, claiming you were pleased with the outcome of your meeting with the other men of the camp, did you retire last night with your customary sweetness Do please then forgive me, for Christ's sake Do please forgive me Mornin' How did Hearst take the letter?

Assuming my press stays intact Thanks, too, for publishing Sheriff Bullock's letter of condolence to the family of that murdered worker of mine Oh, you're welcome I suppose I should have written them myself I'd not presumed to suppose in that regard, Mr.
Hearst, one way or another Was the Sheriff's making his letter part of the public record meant to embarrass or reproach me? I'd not suppose in that connection either I'm to take you for majestically neutral? I'd make the less exalted claim, as a journalist, of keeping my opinions to myself You are less majestically neutral than- than 'cloaking' (camoufler) your 'cowardice' (lâcheté) in principle? I can only answer perhaps, Mr.
Hearst Events have not yet disclosed to me all that I am Those kind of events could be in the weather, Merrick You might have a second calendar for them The fella all those hats was up in the air about, Mr.
T Ah Claims he drove off them road agents Elrod Yulaham from Galena, Illinois Uh, afraid not Oh, I see now.
You got more flare about the 'nostrils' (narines) than Elrod Uh, this here Gentleman's a hero, Mr.
Tolliver Thwarted a band of brigands attacking the stage out of Cheyenne Three, Craps Don't levy the man's 'wager' (pari), Leon His 'throw' (jet / lancer) got 'queered' (perturbé) by Con's 'chatter' (bavardage) Last was no roll Cy Tolliver, Sir It's a honor to meet you.
Thanks in the name of us all Aw, we just happened to happen by That's the first I hear of a we Six is the point.
Point six yeah, well, I come into camp with my brother Who would be where at this present 'juncture' (moment)? Well, we acquired a timber lease He's out buying tools for us to work it Tools to work a timber lease I guess you're even more a hero, guns being out of your line I didn't call them a fully foreign subject now I see I see Eight.
Point six Pay the man, Leon But I didn't make my point You did to me We ought try to cross the road today The thoroughfare's a menace 'Ruts' (parasites), sinkholes quick 'slimes' (substance collante) You're the producer, Jack You'll manage Forgive my presumption, Sir Have you 'lanceolate pains hereabouts' (des pointes de douleur par ici)? Yes Intermittent, but sudden, sharp in the onset, occasioned by a tilt of a shoulder, a shift of weight? I may try ice-water 'dousing' (bains) Ah A german Doctor in Viginia City urged me to it A vogue, if you would permit me to say, now quite exploded, even recognized as possibly harmful R eally? Yeah The cold causing too rapid and painful a contraction of muscles already knotted in spasm I see I am aware of a certain technique by whose virtue I was gradually and by degrees relieved of a similar suffering of my own You are? Blessed by my pain's entire remission for 15 years, 1 month and 3 days I 'dread' (redouter) the prospect of ice-water dousing Taught me by a former [Odabashi.]
of the Turkish artillery,[grade d'officier supérieur, du corps d'élite des "Janissaries" au service de l'empire Ottoman.]
come himself to be afflicted through chronic lifting of cast-iron cannonballs Can you help me who does not know your name? John Langrishe, Sir Ah, permit me to say you are known to me George Hearst Yes.
Oh, yes Would later today be convenient to start, George Hearst? Indeed Better today? No better Nor will be to take him any day to come Be good enough to inform the artisans they will not be renovating after recess at the school Prepare his transport We are going to show him the theater Will you help me? I've other fucking business Seven out Motherless whore Speaking against the establishment's interests, you might leave with a rosier outlook still holding some of our money Big winner on the day Well, those appear to have propagated He worsens, Mrs.
Bullock, never to improve, I'm afraid I'm very sorry, Mr.
Langrishe Hope having postponed the old actor's visit to what will be our theater, its abandonment now argues the visit's urgent execution I understand Forcing this directness upon me When, Mrs.
Bullock, today, will your classes stand in 'recess' (récréation/pause)? How soon could you have him here? The logistics of his transport and the histrionics of his porter may not make it till late this afternoon I'll cancel the session right after the recess Bless you And thanks Oh.
Beautiful I got ammunition left I see that I didn't order any shotgun I'm doing you the courtesy of allowing you not to think I'm as stupid as evidently you believe that girl off who you tore that piece of pussy off of is The girl's sister owed me money From the Yellowbird in Gunnison Well, Jen claims you worked that information from her That her sister owed me money? Yeah Well, did she tell you how I did it?'Cause I'd sure like to remember for the next time I'm short Worked it from her at this very bar in idle chatter having a sister who whored at the Yellowbird in Gunnison, and only then alleged the supposed owed $11 How long you been wearing shoes, counselor? Did you fuck off the full 11? She claims $5 was owed, but my inkling is the right total is seven Thanks Mm-hm.
Where are the tools, Morgan? That is a story in itself You say it weren't an ass fuck, I believe you You buying those Goddamned tools, or not? I wouldn't have chose them not meaning to buy As opposed to leaving chosen goods piled in the middle of the fucking store for every other piece of business to be conducted over and around It's customary to stand by till the transaction's finished I was called elsewhere Elsewhere meaning the Gem You wouldn't be doubting my brother's word? Pay for the tools and remove them, and I'll cease to doubt your ability to do so How's that? There is no losing in a match like that, Mr.
Hearst Never been much for 'draws' (matchs nuls) Well, I-I I meant to say, let the matter be joined aright, whether Bullock or this gunsel stood at the finish, there's no losing in it for you What does "joined aright" mean? Say Bullock was first provoked out the public eye, so his throwing down in public seemed overquick There's all kinds of implications to that, legal and political too Have you taken steps to join this matter aright? Only steps I took so far, Mr.
Hearst, was to bring me into your presence As to what steps will be required if you give the go-ahead, easy as the Sheriff sparks, and cocky look as his kid wears, the number should be few I would suggest, to keep you fucking protected, that the kid should think I'm 'at the helm' (à la barre) Very circumspect.
Very considerate There are the blankets Oh, there they are You are excused by age and illness I am simply stupid Oh, no At a minimum, unforgivably forgetful My dear boy, we are here now You and I and the blankets Yes, yes.
Um- I wonder where the chair would be in which I'm to be transported Oh that the Countess and Claudia should be wheeling across the thoroughfare even as we speak We shall 'swaddle' (emmitoufler) you like the baby Jesus making the most simple and economical of transactions to transfer to you the Countess and Claudia's chair once they arrive All right.
All right Is he dying? Is he dead? He's in a bad fucking way Here.
Take that for his care and burying Let me get my fucking horse past And let the bank know, someone don't take over this place, that loan they made Steve is going bad Why don't you tell them? 'Cause I'm a nigger, Doc, that don't care what stands or falls Hostetler was too.
Hostetler was taller than me Fuck you, Steve.
Fuck you, Hostetler And fuck you too! I can ask Jane Cannary to see to keeping him comfortable See to her bringing back a bottle while you're at it I'll linger, look to these animals till the bank sends someone over That chair is hotel property I will deal with the bathhouse administrator, believe you me Shoo! Shoo! Where have you been? Pushing this contraption through the muck To the bathhouse, it was on loan Wait till you see what they do there Stay right there, Bellegarde.
We're already knee-deep in shit Are those assholes working for you? Those heros that saved the stage? That Dority collected Once he confessed to the stretch I put the one on a fucking string $200 in merchandise in the middle of our store like an interrupted shit Commerce.
Every hump above ground's your master Letter was a fucking mistake No I'm not waiting on Hearst, I'll tell you that right now I am not on his fucking timetable, or at his fucking 'beck and call' (à sa disposition) Yeah A.
W.
Merrick, Al Cheyenne and Black Hills Telegraph Is Sheriff Bullock inside? Only briefly.
He's 'out of sorts' (de mauvais poil) and going downstairs for a blowjob Come in for fuck's sake! Telegram for Sheriff Bullock What reaction to your publication of Bullock's letter? The great man himself took, um, umbrage It was not a mistake, and we are waiting on Hearst Unless you think those two assholes are his response Not likely Uh, the Sheriff is going for blowjob? Now having paid, may we leave our tools here till we go out tomorrow to our lease? I've had a wire says your statement is true, far as having worked as a lawman Not asking why you put the work aside, I'll say only some that do find themselves ready and uniquely able to work the other side of the street Some do that I took the badge off myself once without losing my impulse to beat on certain types No, that seems never to go Not now! Could I come back soon then, Mr.
Hearst? God damn it Come in Aunt Lou.
Come in now Boots are in the corner I'd pay a man three weeks of my wages, Mr.
Hearst Rode quick to catch my son and give him this from his Mama Searched and searched before he left Come to find it with him gone Lovely garnet Does seem a moral law we find what we seek only tardily Would you send somebody, Sir? My imagination resists the approach, in that however quickly he might catch Odell, until he did, the man would know he rode in the service of a colored person I'd suggest, having packed the brooch carefully and securely, we ship it to New York, where my man Fitzpatrick can give it to your son when he arrives All right Are you afraid that by his not receiving today the token of your love, something 'untoward' (fâcheux) might 'befall' (advenir à) Odell? Are you superstitious that way, Aunt Lou? Thanks for seeing to those.
It's the reason I thought you'd knocked Maybe we should head out for the lease Well, now has the sun rose since last I looked? Or more than you let on previous, do you even know the path we're going? No, I do not fucking know Second look, he don't seem such a bad sort, that fucking Sheriff Maybe we ought to be fucking deputies, work our lease on the fucking side Well, did you hear him offer us work? Well, then let's kill him and take his job On the other hand, here is a man who might be about to The one that has a plan for you that factors into yours for us? Do no fucking turn around, Morgan I thought he didn't show up Well, well.
This the hero brother I heard about? This is him, Morgan Earp.
Morgan, meet Mr.
Tolliver who operates the joint How do you do, Morgan? How do you do? What a beautiful fucking joint Well, we like to think so Come on, you fucknut Without a day's education, medical or otherwise, I 'vouchsafe' (accorde) this fucking truth : Those as don't eat without exception fail to survive Fuck ya He's all yours Thanks for your help Yup You heard the lady, Steve.
Them that goes on have got to fucking eat Cocksucker Cocksucker Do for me, Mr.
Hearst, and much more for yourself, this one important thing Breathe, Sir.
Breathe deeply, hungrily, as if your life depended on it And yet slowly! As with the rhythm of the waves of the sea The while, Mr.
Hearst, allowing influx of my motion's heat Do you begin to feel it, man? I think so Hmm? I said I think so Then too begin to feel this: One towards the neck and one towards the coccyx Ooh! What? My God! Are you all right? I am.
How are you? Ah Some release in tension? Ja Yes Yes, by God Is the pain diminished in some measure? It is Now lie still, Sir.
As your nodals settle to the adjustment Try to sleep I don't want to sleep.
I'm waiting for something Very well, please yourself Second look, she may have decided it didn't suit This hasn't said anything yet to spare my feelings I don't believe Mrs.
Bullock's that sort I believe them theater people not moving in yet, she feels no call to disrupt her education activities by moving the children out yet from the Chez Amie into this place here In other words, exactly what she said Does it trouble you, keeping watch on a dark place? No, ma'am, it does not.
Especially when I know there's light coming to it One sorry-ass shit eating cocksucker Claudia and the Countess have 'embroidered' (décoré / brodé) the tabs in gold : Thalia and Melpomene Big lie the masks Same damn thing, Jack- comedy and tragedy The 'curtain rises' (levée de rideau).
The stage is set before us What's the [rake.]

There is a 'cliff' (falaise) whose high 'unbending' (inflexible) head looks 'fearfully' (craintivement) on the confined deep Bring me but to the 'brim' (bord) of it, and from that place Here's the 'fly tower' (espace de rangement d'un théâtre au dessus de la scène) If you mount up, take firm a rail in each hand I'll boost your bum, darling Here's the place How fearful and dizzy it is to cast one's eyes so low Set me where you stand.

Hearst-- suffering with discomfort at his back, the 'wiles' (ruses / artifices) of a bullshitter such as oneself may have use as a feint to occupy him How? Campaign towards relief protracted, punctuated by Pentecostal whoops and manual pushes and prods while invoking arcane authorities the host's unhealthy soul reliable to sustain his symptoms You were good to try a net on that cocksucker, Jack, on such a sorry day Mr.
Hearst! Are we still in a state of respite? The odd twinge, Mr.
Langrishe, but overall much improved A winning 'skirmish' (escarmouche) in a long campaign! Mr.
Swearengen Mr.
Hearst Old friends! Don't imbibe overmuch the evening chill Waiting for something It appears the theater people's moving in was delayed by the illness of one of their troupe, who today, I believe, has died So they should be moving in very shortly Thank you for telling me Without quarrel And you acknowledge your lack of sweetness on retiring last evening? I do, being uneasy about my letter's publication And Mr.
Hearst's reaction Perhaps tonight will be twice as sweet Sweet mother of Jesus Take them amateurs off the fucking sugar tit Mr.
Hearst brought the pros to town Leviathan fucking smiles

I'd make the less exalted claim, as a journalist, of keeping my opinions to myself You are less majestically neutral than- than 'cloaking' (camoufler) your 'cowardice' (lâcheté) in principle? I can only answer perhaps, Mr.
Hearst Events have not yet disclosed to me all that I am Those kind of events could be in the weather, Merrick You might have a second calendar for them The fella all those hats was up in the air about, Mr.
T Ah Claims he drove off them road agents Elrod Yulaham from Galena, Illinois Uh, afraid not Oh, I see now.
You got more flare about the 'nostrils' (narines) than Elrod Uh, this here Gentleman's a hero, Mr.
Tolliver Thwarted a band of brigands attacking the stage out of Cheyenne Three, Craps Don't levy the man's 'wager' (pari), Leon His 'throw' (jet / lancer) got 'queered' (perturbé) by Con's 'chatter' (bavardage) Last was no roll Cy Tolliver, Sir It's a honor to meet you.

Point six yeah, well, I come into camp with my brother Who would be where at this present 'juncture' (moment)? Well, we acquired a timber lease He's out buying tools for us to work it Tools to work a timber lease I guess you're even more a hero, guns being out of your line I didn't call them a fully foreign subject now I see I see Eight.
Point six Pay the man, Leon But I didn't make my point You did to me We ought try to cross the road today The thoroughfare's a menace 'Ruts' (parasites), sinkholes quick 'slimes' (substance collante) You're the producer, Jack You'll manage Forgive my presumption, Sir Have you 'lanceolate pains hereabouts' (des pointes de douleur par ici)? Yes Intermittent, but sudden, sharp in the onset, occasioned by a tilt of a shoulder, a shift of weight? I may try ice-water 'dousing' (bains) Ah A german Doctor in Viginia City urged me to it A vogue, if you would permit me to say, now quite exploded, even recognized as possibly harmful R eally? Yeah The cold causing too rapid and painful a contraction of muscles already knotted in spasm I see I am aware of a certain technique by whose virtue I was gradually and by degrees relieved of a similar suffering of my own You are? Blessed by my pain's entire remission for 15 years, 1 month and 3 days I 'dread' (redouter) the prospect of ice-water dousing Taught me by a former [Odabashi.]

come himself to be afflicted through chronic lifting of cast-iron cannonballs Can you help me who does not know your name? John Langrishe, Sir Ah, permit me to say you are known to me George Hearst Yes.
Oh, yes Would later today be convenient to start, George Hearst? Indeed Better today? No better Nor will be to take him any day to come Be good enough to inform the artisans they will not be renovating after recess at the school Prepare his transport We are going to show him the theater Will you help me? I've other fucking business Seven out Motherless whore Speaking against the establishment's interests, you might leave with a rosier outlook still holding some of our money Big winner on the day Well, those appear to have propagated He worsens, Mrs.
Bullock, never to improve, I'm afraid I'm very sorry, Mr.
Langrishe Hope having postponed the old actor's visit to what will be our theater, its abandonment now argues the visit's urgent execution I understand Forcing this directness upon me When, Mrs.
Bullock, today, will your classes stand in 'recess' (récréation/pause)? How soon could you have him here? The logistics of his transport and the histrionics of his porter may not make it till late this afternoon I'll cancel the session right after the recess Bless you And thanks Oh.
Beautiful I got ammunition left I see that I didn't order any shotgun I'm doing you the courtesy of allowing you not to think I'm as stupid as evidently you believe that girl off who you tore that piece of pussy off of is The girl's sister owed me money From the Yellowbird in Gunnison Well, Jen claims you worked that information from her That her sister owed me money? Yeah Well, did she tell you how I did it?'Cause I'd sure like to remember for the next time I'm short Worked it from her at this very bar in idle chatter having a sister who whored at the Yellowbird in Gunnison, and only then alleged the supposed owed $11 How long you been wearing shoes, counselor? Did you fuck off the full 11? She claims $5 was owed, but my inkling is the right total is seven Thanks Mm-hm.
Where are the tools, Morgan? That is a story in itself You say it weren't an ass fuck, I believe you You buying those Goddamned tools, or not? I wouldn't have chose them not meaning to buy As opposed to leaving chosen goods piled in the middle of the fucking store for every other piece of business to be conducted over and around It's customary to stand by till the transaction's finished I was called elsewhere Elsewhere meaning the Gem You wouldn't be doubting my brother's word? Pay for the tools and remove them, and I'll cease to doubt your ability to do so How's that? There is no losing in a match like that, Mr.
Hearst Never been much for 'draws' (matchs nuls) Well, I-I I meant to say, let the matter be joined aright, whether Bullock or this gunsel stood at the finish, there's no losing in it for you What does "joined aright" mean? Say Bullock was first provoked out the public eye, so his throwing down in public seemed overquick There's all kinds of implications to that, legal and political too Have you taken steps to join this matter aright? Only steps I took so far, Mr.
Hearst, was to bring me into your presence As to what steps will be required if you give the go-ahead, easy as the Sheriff sparks, and cocky look as his kid wears, the number should be few I would suggest, to keep you fucking protected, that the kid should think I'm 'at the helm' (à la barre) Very circumspect.
Very considerate There are the blankets Oh, there they are You are excused by age and illness I am simply stupid Oh, no At a minimum, unforgivably forgetful My dear boy, we are here now You and I and the blankets Yes, yes.
Um- I wonder where the chair would be in which I'm to be transported Oh that the Countess and Claudia should be wheeling across the thoroughfare even as we speak We shall 'swaddle' (emmitoufler) you like the baby Jesus making the most simple and economical of transactions to transfer to you the Countess and Claudia's chair once they arrive All right.
All right Is he dying? Is he dead? He's in a bad fucking way Here.
Take that for his care and burying Let me get my fucking horse past And let the bank know, someone don't take over this place, that loan they made Steve is going bad Why don't you tell them? 'Cause I'm a nigger, Doc, that don't care what stands or falls Hostetler was too.
Hostetler was taller than me Fuck you, Steve.
Fuck you, Hostetler And fuck you too! I can ask Jane Cannary to see to keeping him comfortable See to her bringing back a bottle while you're at it I'll linger, look to these animals till the bank sends someone over That chair is hotel property I will deal with the bathhouse administrator, believe you me Shoo! Shoo! Where have you been? Pushing this contraption through the muck To the bathhouse, it was on loan Wait till you see what they do there Stay right there, Bellegarde.
We're already knee-deep in shit Are those assholes working for you? Those heros that saved the stage? That Dority collected Once he confessed to the stretch I put the one on a fucking string $200 in merchandise in the middle of our store like an interrupted shit Commerce.
Every hump above ground's your master Letter was a fucking mistake No I'm not waiting on Hearst, I'll tell you that right now I am not on his fucking timetable, or at his fucking 'beck and call' (à sa disposition) Yeah A.
W.
Merrick, Al Cheyenne and Black Hills Telegraph Is Sheriff Bullock inside? Only briefly.
He's 'out of sorts' (de mauvais poil) and going downstairs for a blowjob Come in for fuck's sake! Telegram for Sheriff Bullock What reaction to your publication of Bullock's letter? The great man himself took, um, umbrage It was not a mistake, and we are waiting on Hearst Unless you think those two assholes are his response Not likely Uh, the Sheriff is going for blowjob? Now having paid, may we leave our tools here till we go out tomorrow to our lease? I've had a wire says your statement is true, far as having worked as a lawman Not asking why you put the work aside, I'll say only some that do find themselves ready and uniquely able to work the other side of the street Some do that I took the badge off myself once without losing my impulse to beat on certain types No, that seems never to go Not now! Could I come back soon then, Mr.
Hearst? God damn it Come in Aunt Lou.
Come in now Boots are in the corner I'd pay a man three weeks of my wages, Mr.
Hearst Rode quick to catch my son and give him this from his Mama Searched and searched before he left Come to find it with him gone Lovely garnet Does seem a moral law we find what we seek only tardily Would you send somebody, Sir? My imagination resists the approach, in that however quickly he might catch Odell, until he did, the man would know he rode in the service of a colored person I'd suggest, having packed the brooch carefully and securely, we ship it to New York, where my man Fitzpatrick can give it to your son when he arrives All right Are you afraid that by his not receiving today the token of your love, something 'untoward' (fâcheux) might 'befall' (advenir à) Odell? Are you superstitious that way, Aunt Lou? Thanks for seeing to those.
It's the reason I thought you'd knocked Maybe we should head out for the lease Well, now has the sun rose since last I looked? Or more than you let on previous, do you even know the path we're going? No, I do not fucking know Second look, he don't seem such a bad sort, that fucking Sheriff Maybe we ought to be fucking deputies, work our lease on the fucking side Well, did you hear him offer us work? Well, then let's kill him and take his job On the other hand, here is a man who might be about to The one that has a plan for you that factors into yours for us? Do no fucking turn around, Morgan I thought he didn't show up Well, well.
This the hero brother I heard about? This is him, Morgan Earp.
Morgan, meet Mr.
Tolliver who operates the joint How do you do, Morgan? How do you do? What a beautiful fucking joint Well, we like to think so Come on, you fucknut Without a day's education, medical or otherwise, I 'vouchsafe' (accorde) this fucking truth : Those as don't eat without exception fail to survive Fuck ya He's all yours Thanks for your help Yup You heard the lady, Steve.
Them that goes on have got to fucking eat Cocksucker Cocksucker Do for me, Mr.
Hearst, and much more for yourself, this one important thing Breathe, Sir.
Breathe deeply, hungrily, as if your life depended on it And yet slowly! As with the rhythm of the waves of the sea The while, Mr.
Hearst, allowing influx of my motion's heat Do you begin to feel it, man? I think so Hmm? I said I think so Then too begin to feel this: One towards the neck and one towards the coccyx Ooh! What? My God! Are you all right? I am.
How are you? Ah Some release in tension? Ja Yes Yes, by God Is the pain diminished in some measure? It is Now lie still, Sir.
As your nodals settle to the adjustment Try to sleep I don't want to sleep.
I'm waiting for something Very well, please yourself Second look, she may have decided it didn't suit This hasn't said anything yet to spare my feelings I don't believe Mrs.
Bullock's that sort I believe them theater people not moving in yet, she feels no call to disrupt her education activities by moving the children out yet from the Chez Amie into this place here In other words, exactly what she said Does it trouble you, keeping watch on a dark place? No, ma'am, it does not.
Especially when I know there's light coming to it One sorry-ass shit eating cocksucker Claudia and the Countess have 'embroidered' (décoré / brodé) the tabs in gold : Thalia and Melpomene Big lie the masks Same damn thing, Jack- comedy and tragedy The 'curtain rises' (levée de rideau).
The stage is set before us What's the [rake.]

There is a 'cliff' (falaise) whose high 'unbending' (inflexible) head looks 'fearfully' (craintivement) on the confined deep Bring me but to the 'brim' (bord) of it, and from that place Here's the 'fly tower' (espace de rangement d'un théâtre au dessus de la scène) If you mount up, take firm a rail in each hand I'll boost your bum, darling Here's the place How fearful and dizzy it is to cast one's eyes so low Set me where you stand.

L-line Our father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name He's gone We'll see to him now Winner 10! 10 as hard as they come That is my big brother, who I'm going to be assisting on some very important business for the man you work for, and for whom I may put in a good word for you depending on how good you are to me You seem blue, Jack That old actor I spoke of passed Sorry Wrapped like a mummy in blankets, drowning in his own fluids Perhaps, Al, given the sleigh ride which ensues, the best connection to leviathan may not be by harpoon Explain yourself I mean the inimical Mr.
Hearst-- suffering with discomfort at his back, the 'wiles' (ruses / artifices) of a bullshitter such as oneself may have use as a feint to occupy him How? Campaign towards relief protracted, punctuated by Pentecostal whoops and manual pushes and prods while invoking arcane authorities the host's unhealthy soul reliable to sustain his symptoms You were good to try a net on that cocksucker, Jack, on such a sorry day Mr.
Hearst! Are we still in a state of respite? The odd twinge, Mr.
Langrishe, but overall much improved A winning 'skirmish' (escarmouche) in a long campaign! Mr.
Swearengen Mr.
Hearst Old friends! Don't imbibe overmuch the evening chill Waiting for something It appears the theater people's moving in was delayed by the illness of one of their troupe, who today, I believe, has died So they should be moving in very shortly Thank you for telling me Without quarrel And you acknowledge your lack of sweetness on retiring last evening? I do, being uneasy about my letter's publication And Mr.
Hearst's reaction Perhaps tonight will be twice as sweet Sweet mother of Jesus Take them amateurs off the fucking sugar tit Mr.
Hearst brought the pros to town Leviathan fucking smiles
