...I'm startin to wonder if I'll be able to pick that ring up from lay-a-way at Zales tomorrow. It ain't lookin too good, though. It's Thursday night, so the crowds ain't what they would be on Friday, Satd'y. I keep lookin at all them kids watchin us, with the fancy clothes and the smilin faces. Why do they have so much an I don't? I guess cause they're Hahvahd brains or somethin, I don't know. Georgy tells me I'm lettin the beat slack, so I let him take over again. ...
