Show Flying - 47 Thompson, who sleeps upstairs, wanders down with a towel wrapped around his waist, on his way to the shower. "How's it going, Diamond Jim?" he says to John Henry. "Hear you picked a winner and cleaned out half of B company today." "Just a good hunch," says John Henry. "Larsen hasn't done shit since he threw that perfect game." "Don't spend it all in one place," says Thompson, wandering off. "Hey John." "Yeah?" "I got to get some papers straightened out, and make some long-distance calls and stuff like that. So I can get back to Korea, like I told you. Could you lend me a few dollars until payday?" "How about five for seven," says John Henry. "Until payday." "I need about twenty." "Make me out an IOU for twenty-eight," says John Henry, taking out his wallet. |
