“Humans are inferior beings.”

“Barbarians!”

"Oh-" Finnea's voice caught in her throat. Her eyes locked with two others much, much larger than her own. From the second floor balcony. Of a house on a hill.

Maybe this remote residency retreat wasn't the best idea.

Her shortening cigarette burned her fingers. She couldn't care less about that right now. Through teeth that were damn-near chattering she said, "don't worry about it dude, I was just leaving."

The handle didn't budge. She locked herself out. Fuck.

"Look man," she began, not knowing if she was even being understood. She thought she'd have cooler last words than this.

So I would like to propose a new swear: cockmonger. Possibly as an alternative to suckup, brown nose, or asskisser.

EVERYBODY'S GOT THE RIGHT

"Hey pal, feeling blue?"

"Some guys think they can't be winners."

"Everybody's got the right to be happy."

"Cheap, for anything you want."

"Looking for a thrill? The Ferris wheel is that way."

BALLAD OF BOOTH

"Doesn't stop the story, the story's pretty strong"

"Why did you do it, [name]?"

"Damn you, [name]!"

"Hunt me down, smear my name, say I did it for the fame."

"The end doesn't mean that it's over."

HOW I SAVED ROOSEVELT

"Listen, you runt, you're not pulling that stunt."

"Lucky I was there."

"Men with their money, they control everything."

"I don't care who I kill."

"I saw right away he was insane."

THE GUN SONG

"All you gotta do is move your little finger."

"I hate this guy."

"I am not a man to overlook."

"Shit, where is it?"
