AHO: It has been too long since last we talked. What have you been up to?
Dickie: What the fuck you think I've been up to? Biz-niz. Or are you wanting to ask about my love life?
AHO: Business is good?
Dickie: Yeah. What the fuck. You gonna get off the bullshit and on to the questions at some point?
AHO: Sure. Apologies. Last time we talked you told us an anecdote about a lad named Longfellow - well readership has persisted in inquiring after him - do you have an update? Has he been back again?
Dickie: They all come back again.
AHO: And? Did you again turn him away or was this time different?
Dickie: I let him in.
AHO: Why? Why was this time different?
Dickie: Look, I ain't nobody's mother. I did the kid a solid once and I figure that's once more than anybody can reasonably fucking expect. Capiche?
AHO: Of course. You're a business man. First and foremost. So what happened?
Dickie: The kid sat at the bar and drank the expensive shit. Neat. He wanted his whiskey neat.
AHO: I trust he didn't create a commotion this time with a quill or something equally silly?
Dickie: This is funny. Well, it wasn't so funny at the time but now looking back I guess it was. See, he kept fucking telling Louie, Neat, Neat, Neat, like Louie's hearing impaired or something. And now Louie's looking like he's gonna blow. Exasperated, I think would be the word.
AHO: I believe so. Louie is the bartender and he is exasperated understanding the drink order?
Dickie: Yeah. And it then moved to the Whats, a sure sign that Louie's gonna blow. What, do I look like a slob or something? What, you worried I'm gonna spill your whiskey? What the fuck, what you trying to say here with this neat bullshit? Louie, I say finally after the kid don't straighten Louie out on his own, he don't want no ice in his drink, that's what, you fucking moron. The kid was bright enough to give him a good tip and not look at him for awhile. Just drink and shut the fuck up.
AHO: And was that the pinnacle of the boy's evening?
Dickie: Pinnacle? You trying for a literary award or something here?
AHO: In the many interviews I've conducted it seems that often the first details volunteered are the most memorable. What else happened?
Dickie: Kid sat and drank and minded his business. He seemed to be thinking or wishing on someplace else.
AHO: That's odd.
Dickie: Odd? I would give you a good fucking crack if you were here in front of me.
AHO: Why?
Dickie: For being a stupid fuck, that's why.
AHO: Please explain. If you would. For the readership.
Dickie: This aint hard. They come to Dickie's to be someplace else, to be someone else. What's so odd about someone sitting at my bar wishing they didn't have to?
AHO: I see your point. So the boy didn't partake in the ladies or the gambling?
Dickie: I didn't say that. I said pretty much.
AHO: Well, tell us the rest of it.
Dickie: He got it all. Once he got a little whiskey in him and snapped the fuck out of it he got busy doing what you're supposed to do at Dickie's.
AHO: Can you expand on that.
Dickie: Nah. Let's not romanticize the boy's perversion. Some shit is better kept under wraps. Use your fucking imagination.
AHO: Sure. Apologies. Last time we talked you told us an anecdote about a lad named Longfellow - well readership has persisted in inquiring after him - do you have an update? Has he been back again?
