The kid looked freaked and we dumped him on the edge of Vegas. Right to the motherfuckin' end of the rainbow." "What's the motherfuckin' story?" I laughed.

The sky was full of screaming bats and my attorney, the Samoan, was pouring beer on his chest. We were somewhere on the edge of the desert when the drugs took hold.
