She was just screaming like a Rocket or a Cartoon character. Prairie
takes note, but she doesn't rilly git it yet. I mean, like she just
sorta met DL through Ralph Wayvone too. And now we learn that Ralph had
a computer file on DL's history and that he used that file to convince
her to to kill Public Servant Brock Vond. Moreover, it looks like he's
trying to get her to work for free.
"Buy sure, but how about give?" 131
Where did he get it? The file? FBI? A line into NCIC? Has he been keepin
a scrap book on DL. And the Sisters have a scrap book file on Frenesi.
Prairie should be wondering why do all these people keep files on all
these other people. Pretty paranoid. So the Mafia, the Sisterhood, the
Government, everyone is maintaining files, biographical, historical.
131
So why is DL taking this Job? 132
She thinks that if she does one job for Ralph she'll have to do it
again. It will be in her file. In her biograpical/her-storical file. For
ya know it, she'll be doing jobs on judges and snitches and rats and ...
working in a Mall like Frenesi.
Man, it's tough for a girl to make it in this world.
She could, a Bobby Dylan says, Join the Army if ya fail, ... maybe sell
vacuums door to door? Death of sales woman? Ah, this job is suckin the
life out of me. Typing, filing ... get a little apartment ... car (not
MG, but DL is starting to look like Rachel Owlglass even if Rochelle
still is the Mother of this sick crew) and wash it four time a week ...
hey ... she's in love with the thing ... 133-134 but ho-hum boring
provincial fetishistic life (you gettin this Prair?), bondage rilly, but
then she was liberated into white slavery after Ralph kidnaps her. 135
Hey, that sounds like kid napping. Yeah, she was just snoozing along and
we woke her up.
Contract?
Yeah, don't damage the goods.
And look at who is working the auction block? 136
Why, it's gaffers?
