He corroborates, confirms, nails it down square and true.
There is no evidence that Penny is out to hoodwink Doc wihen they are
watching the Tube and Nixon & CO. put on the show that Coy plays a
staring role in. She wakes up and thinks that he might be watching a
Hitler Documentary. So... he kinda is. And, she has a good read of
what is going down. Doc keeps his cards close to the vest, but she
lays them out on the table. Like Zoyd, he is Turned. It's not that big
a deal ya know ...he did it. The irony is what P is palying up here.
He needed Them to get off the Junk They are pumping through the veins
of the poor woking dude to finance Their Wars at Home and Abroad. The
good is he got free of the Junk. Now he can go to Rio.
