"'They don't want to do it--so we'll do it for them!
Dive right down into it! Down into all
that--waste-pit of time!'" (VL, Ch. 9, p. 173)
Cf. ...
"... he feels the cold Lysol air on his thighs as down
come the boxer shorts too, now, with the colorful bass
lures and trout flies on them. He struggles to work
himself farther into the toilet hole as dimly, up
through the smelly water, comes the sound of a whole
dark gang of awful Negroes come yelling happily into
the white men's room, converging on poor wriggling
Slothrop, jiving around the way they do singing `Slip
the talcum to me, Malcolm!' And the voice that replies
is who but that Red, the shoeshine boy who's slicked
up Slothrop's black patents a dozen times down on his
knees jes poppin' dat rag to beat the band ..." (GR,
Pt. I, p. 63)
