you came.
thank you. get yourselves in here. alvin! get your pants on. they're here.
alvin will hate this.
i have to stop. i cannot believe you're from new orleans. i miss it so much.
you know something -- alvin pretends he doesn't know who you are, but the minute you came to town he read your books. he had one of his men pick up "breakfast at tiffany's" in kansas city 'cause it's banned from the library here.
he liked it more than he's willing to admit.
alright, one more shake.
how you doing, foxy?
humphrey bogart.
john huston.
it's been a hard couple weeks for alvin. he and herb clutter were good friends. from church.
oh come on, alvin. these are good people.
so many of my friends would love to meet you.
i can't believe you got this whole page -- i only read it to you once!
you believe that alvin?
i'm sorry. he's upset. -- smoking three packs a day. two men did it. they know who. one of them used to have a cellmate who gave him up for the thousand dollar reward. they passed through kansas city last week writing bad checks -- by the time alvin's boys got up there they'd skipped out again.
they have no idea.
alvin .
tell them we're at dinner, alvin.
motorcycle accident. he broke them and they never healed right. alvin told me.
