I follow your line of reasonin', Rap. Don't start chewin' nickels. Nymbel will get his in a coupla days, and we plug yer scene right back in at that point, no sweat. I just can't let him die before we got somepn' nice to put on his gravestone in memoriam. I hate ta think of you slavin' away over a hot typewriter for nothin'. You are dead right about Chicago, that's for sure, and any cultural details you can supply on the Windy City are well appreciated, cos I only seen the place a few times from an airplane...and that was enough.

Man, I either need a new mattress or a line of work that pays better...or both. The Cuban rum ain't workin'.
