"The incredibly intimidating and aristocratic people who still unaccountably sell clothes." "I've seen you in here before. I've seen you slouching around the place in your slip-on shoes and your motorcycle jacket, looking like a mechanic whose won the pools. I've seen you grinning [?] in your tin earring and your black market ear swagger. We've all seen you, and we all thought you were a turd."
