Neal Stephenson Quote
In the parking lot of a Safeway on Oahu, he says. And he's telling the truth;in the background she can hear the shopping carts performing their clashy, analcopulations.I'm kind of busy now, Whitey -- but what can I do for you?It's Y.T., she says, and you can help bust me out of The Clink. She giveshim the details.How long ago did he put you there?Ten minutes.Okay, the three-ring binder for Clink franchises states that the manager issupposed to check on the detainee half an hour after admission.How do you know this stuff? she says accusingly.Use your imagination. As soon as the manager pulls his halfhour check, waitfor another five minutes, and then make your move. I'll try to give you a hand.Okay?Got it.
