... and all of a sudden, nobody can think of anything to say.

now the whole world stands on the brink, staring down into bloody hell, and all those intellectuals and smooth-talkers -

instead they followed the droppings of lechers and communists and didn't realize that the trail led over a precipice until it was too late.

they had a choice, all of them. they could have followed in the footsteps of good men like my father or president truman.

"save us!"... and i'll look down and whisper "no."

the accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout:

the streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown.

dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. this city is afraid of me. i have seen its true face.

Now one else saw the joke. That's why he was lonely.

@AllStarNick *whispers* "No."

Waiting for a flash of enlightenment in all this blood and thunder.

Walked home past trashcans stuffed with rumors of war, weighing factors; bodies; motives -

But @Comedian referred to an island, artists and writers living on it. Doesn't fit. Can't concentrate. Too tired. No sleep since Saturday.

By whom? Russians seem obvious choice: @Doc_Manhattan and @Comedian both key military figures.

Left @Jacobi's house 2:35 a.m. He knows nothing about any attempt to discredit @Doc_Manhattan. He has simply been used.

At midnight, all the agents and superhuman crew, go out and round up everyone who knows more than they do. @Bob_Dylan

This city is dying of rabies. Is the best I can do to wipe random flecks of foam from its lips?

Beneath me, this awful city, it screams like an abattoir full of retarded children. New York.

Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.

Man bursts into tears. Says "But, doctor... I am Pagliacci."
