Discussion on Accountant's Earnings in America
Alex:
How much currency would a first-rate accountant receive in America?
Jonathan:
I don't know, a lot, probably, if he or she is good.
Alex:
She?
Jonathan:
Or he.
Alex:
Are there Negro accountants?
Jonathan:
Yes, there are African American accountants, but you don't want to use that word.
Alex:
And homosexual accountants?
Jonathan:
There are homosexual everythings. There are homosexual garbage men.
Alex: [shocked]
And how much currency would a Negro homosexual accountant receive?
Jonathan:
You really shouldn't use that word.
Alex:
Which word?
Jonathan:
The N-word. It's not the N-word, but...
Alex:
Negro?
Jonathan:
Yeah, that one.
Alex:
But I dig them all the way. They are premium people.

Securing Safety in Uncertain Times

(to Jonathan) Make sure to secure the door when I am gone. I do not want to make you petrified person but there are many dangerous people who want to take things from Americans... and also kidnap them. Okay? Goodnight!

Cultural Affinities and Personal Confidence
Alex:
I am especially beloved of American movies, muscular cars, and hip-hop music. I also dig negroes, most of all Michael Jackson, because he is such a first-rate dancer, like me. Many girls want to be carnal with me, because I am such a premium dancer.

The Light of Shared Journeys
Alex:
I have reflected many times upon our rigid search. It has shown me that everything is illuminated in the light of the past. It is always along the side of us, on the inside, looking out. Like you say, inside out. Jonathan, in this way, I will always be along the side of your life. And you will always be along the side of mine.

Grandfather's Dog and the Illusion of Companionship
Alex: [Referring to the dog]
This is Sammy Davis Jr. Jr... She is Grandfather's Seeing Eye bitch. Father purchased her for him not because he believes Grandfather is blind, but because a Seeing Eye bitch is also a good thing for people who pine for the opposite of loneliness. In truth, Father did not purchase her at all, but merely retrieved her from the home for forgetful dogs. Because of this, she is not a real Seeing Eye bitch, and is also mentally deranged.

Alex's Perspective on Height and Women
Alex:
I am unequivocally tall. I do not know any women who are taller than me. Women who are taller than me are lesbians, for whom 1969 was a very momentous year.
