Al’s Been to Chicago Too
It’s one of my favorite exchanges and I often feel in my own life. The idea that one can chop trees with blistered hands in the mud and heat but can also be amongst the civilized and well-heeled. That’s my interpretation.
Upon the arrival of those Bella Union cocksuckers.
Al: Cocksuckers. Where were they when Dan and me were chopping trees in this gulch, hands all blistered, buck-tooth fucking beavers rolling around in the creek, slapping their tails on the water like we was hired entertainment.
Trixie: I'd have paid a nickel to see you chopping wood.
Al: Yeah. Don't think I wasn't blow for blow with Dan. I can play that sh*t when I have to. But I've been to Chicago too."
