"OK," I said, "f** me. Ill stay with the city."
"I reckon you will," Lewis said. "But you'll have doubts."
"I may but they wont bother me."
"Thats the trouble. The city's got you where you live."
"Sure it does. But its also got you Lewis. I hate to say this, but you put in your time playing games. I may play games, like begin an art directer. But I put my life and the lives of my family on the line. I have to do it, and I do it. I don't have any dreams of a new society. Ill take what I'v got. I don't read books and I don't have theories. What'd be the use? What you've got is a fantasy life."
