Well you wouldn't even know a diamond if you held it in your hand.

Late afternoon, Sunday, August 30th


Been spendin' mosta m'time workin'ese days. Now'at Tez's stayin' at th'Doc's ain't feelin' like I gotta babysit'im s'much. Anyway, wuz gettin' t'th'point I wuz 'bout ready t'blow th'damn truck up rather'n spend another night innere. Even when we wuz t'gether fer real we spent mosta th'nights in m'wagon. Ain't'at's truck's a bad place, an'I know why'e's s'damn proud ovvit, but sure's hell don't wanna bloody live'ere.

So. Got a li'l more time. Been able t'getta bit more sleep, able t'work on s'more shit, earn a bit more cash. Sold some good shit t'somma th'marks; couple good curses, an abortifacient to a cryin' girl, poison t'a crazy-eyed man. 'nough at'll be eatin' well ferra good couple months. S'like I told Slaughterman; always a market fer what I got t'sell.

Fer now, though, workin' local-like. Grindhouse ladies mostly in needa what I got on hand. Somuvvem want more 'ffective anti-baby shit'an y'c'n get in th'towns. Somuvvem wanna keep somethin' on hand 'gainst any mark't gets too frisky. Somuvvem want a li'l flash t'go wit'ere acts. An' somuvvem....well, somuvvem I don't ask.

Daiyu needs a refill...don't always got what she craves, but I got some shit'at keeps'er quiet. Hate t'think what she's gonna do if'n we can't get outta'ere. Marguerite wants more ovva li'l enchantment I got, makes'er bleed durin' sex. Likes t'play virgin, she does. An' Parthenope wants a li'l more'a'er fav'rite insurance. No problem, gottit all. Stop by all th'girls, make sure'ey's good. Ain't my girls, but I help'em out, an' we look out fer each other. S'fam'ly.

Last stop's th'new girl, Lily. Ain't bought nothin' from me yet, but might's well check jes' in case. Rap onner door, "Hey, 's'Syl."
