'Fuckin' first time, innit, eh? Fuckin' never been in the jile afore, huv ye? Ahhh, fuckin' shitin' it I bet, fuckinun. Ahh-haa.Fuckin'... Fooaltiyeman, I don't fuckin' like the look o' your fuckin' chances man, ne'er I don't. Fuckin' sideyways for you, pal, mark my fuckin' words. Fuckin' daft cunt. Fooaltiye, I've been inside a few times, man, fuckin' seen it aw afore, man, fuckin' awyit, an' fuckin'. fuckin' cunts like you, naw, man, hahaha, don't fuckin' fancy ye, altiye. Haha. Fuckin' sideyways. Fuckin' twirly sheets job, man, altiye. Ahh-haaaah. Fuckin' waaank.' Parlabane, even in his embattled, embittered and em, just-hit-his-head-off-an-iron-bedframe state, retained suf- ficient presence of mind to appreciate the significance of the moment. As a man who scornfully disapproved of inappropriate superlatives, he could honestly say he was now in the presence of the least charming person he had ever met. Given that he worked in the journalism trade, and that through his wife he had unavoidably met a number of surgeons, this was saying something. 'Fooaltiyeman, I've seen your type afore, many a time. Many. A. Fu. Kin. Time. Fooaltiye, fuckin' easy meat, man, that's you, fuckinnn ah-haa.' Parlabane felt an enormous temptation to point at him, narrow his eyes and say: 'Gordonstoun? No, no, no, that's that he had precipitated the previous torrents merely by being in the same cell. Actually upsetting the cadaverous bastard was, as Sarah might put it, contra-indicated. He winced at the phrase, the remembered sound of her voice in his head. It was like pouring Tabasco sauce on to his injured scalp. Daft cunt right enough. Fuckin' wank. Ahh-haaa. Fuckinnrm. Without warning or apparent explanation, something evidently occurred to Sliver (or 'Fooaltiye', as Parlabane was beginning to think of him). He softened his expression and leaned that bit further forward. The effect on his face was to make it look like merely a death-mask, as opposed to an atrophied skull, but the intention was clearly solicitous. 'Nah mate, just kiddin ye oan like n'at, know? Just a fuckin' wee joke, man, fuckinnn. I mean, ye awright like? Ye awright? Banged your heid? Fooaltiye, looked~fuckin' sair, man, so it did. Ye awright?' what, Parlabane wondered, could possibly have caused this impromptu volte-face (or volte-skull if he was being pedantic)? what pacific thought could have tamed the rage in this tormented and misunderstood young man's heart? 'Ye any fags?' That would be it, then. |
