        Guy Carpenter was a lout.  Not a good, likeable kind of lout either; 
 just a big lug who enjoyed drinking beer and watching TV.  He was rather 
 skilled at making people (especially women and the elderly) pity him though, 
 so he wasn't completely useless.  As a matter of fact, he got more then his 
 reccomended daily allowance of sex (from the former) and money (from the 
 latter).  He managed to spend all of his money as soon as he got it... 
 didn't matter though.  That was life.  That was hustling. 
   
        Nybar wanted to be left alone.  But stories had to be written, h0e's 
 had to be made.  He had mostly moved on to other things, hung up his 'zine 
 making hat...But Mogel thought he was ready for one last story, to go out 
 with a bang.  He didn't have the energy to write, but he and a few of his 
 buddies had a different, entirely more dangerous idea. 
    
        Keith Velasquez was a stereotype come alive: a 20-something Latino 
 crackhead, ready to do anything for money.  He had no idea what he was 
 getting himself into. 

        Mogel was always on the prowl for a submission to h0e.  Little did he 
 suspect, Nybar was in desperation as a writer.  Nybar was ready to push it 
 past the limit of even what Mogel was willing to endure for a new 
 submission.  So it begins: 

        Mogel: "Nybar, you don't have to go through with this.  Why don't you 
               just write something?" 
        Nybar: "Wait a sec-- COFFEE YOU FUCK!...Such shitty service."  
 The Waitress: "Could you please not scream obscenities? The 
               elderly folks that come in for the Crazy Al's Sausage Special 
               get riled." 

        She smiles sweetly, hoping to placate Nybar with this move straight 
 from the Waitresses' handbook. 

        Nybar: "Look, don't smile at me, don't make demands of me, just do 
               what I say.  That's the quickest route to me getting OUT of 
               here, which is what you want.  Kind of like blackmail.  And 
               remember this" he wags his finger in her face "don't try to 
               evict me, for though it might be your resteraunt, the world 
               is MINE, or at least my lack of social inhibitions is such 
               that this is the de facto truth." 
 The Waitress: "Fuck you, sir." She sickeningly smiles again and then walks 
               back to the kitchen. 
        Nybar: "And don't forget the coffee!"  

        "Why don't you leave her alone? She's just doing her job!" This is 
 from an elderly man with an old NY Jewish type accent in the next booth. 

        Nybar: "Stop eavesdropping you fuck.  I'll drop you like a stump, and 
               any the rest of you that fuck with me!" 

        Nybar waves his cane menacingly at the elderly.  They don't really 
 seem to care, but then again most elderly are drugged up, especially those 
 in resteraunts at 4 AM. 

        Mogel: "Er, back on the subject of the project--" 
        Nybar: "What project?" 
        Mogel: "THE ONE WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT.  I think it's a good idea 
               if you must... and if you're sure you can avoid the <ahem> 
               consequences." 
        Nybar: "Oh yes, the defences will be no match for me... I'm well 
               prepared.  As you know, my experience in international 
               espionage, catburglary and my knowledge of Aztec religious 
               texts is unmatched.  Plus, I've enlisted an elite strike 
               force." 
        Mogel: "You mean the crack head and the washed up loser?" 
        Nybar: "Careful, they're listening over a wire I'm wearing." 

        Mogel cracks a smile against his will, and eventually nervously, self 
 conciously laughs... a pathetic display. 

        Mogel: "You take an idiot beer-guzzling loser and a crack head and 
               make them into the CIA." Mogel laughs 
        Nybar: "Skills, eh? Now, all we need for this, uh, project--" he 
               coughs nervously  "--is a girl to lure them out." 

        The Waitress returns with the Coffee 

        Nybar: "And I think we know how to find that."
