“Kirsten: So youre the new public relations man.
Joe: Yeah.
Kirsten: What happened to Eddie?
Joe: Eddie quit.
Kirsten: I liked him. Whyd he quit?

—J.P. (James Pinckney)
“Social and scientific progress are assured, sir, once our great system of postpossession payments is in operation, not the installment plan, no sir, but a system of small postpossession payments that clinch the investment. No possible rational human wish unfulfilled. A man with a salary of fifty dollars a week can start payments on a Rolls-Royce, the Waldorf-Astoria, or a troupe of trained seals if he so desires.”
—John Dos Passos (18961970)
