Saturday morning, store packed:

LOST DUDE: D'you have Fear & Loathing?

CJB: Sure...a used copy...right down there.

LD [holding entirely different book]: So that's...uh...$22.95?

CJB: That's the new price. Mine is inside, in pencil.

LD [checks]: $13.95?

CJB: Yup.

LD: I can almost afford that...I already bought some shit! [Waves drumsticks clutched in hand] Can I put it on hold?

CJB: Yes, for a day.

LD: Aw man! No longer?

CJB: No longer.

[LD's name and phone number recorded]

LD: Do you have mythology books?

CJB: Down the center aisle...about half way...top shelf on your right.

LD: Do you have werewolf books there?

CJB: Which books?

LD: No, man. Werewolf books. Not witch books.

PULPFICTION'S ACE MANAGER, CHRIS C.: He was asking what you meant, not "witch books."

LD: Yeah, man, like I said, not witch books. I'm past that shit now!

[LD's "hold" promptly filed back out the moment his drug-addled brain and drumsticks left the premises]
