Emily said four words I didn't know. Tell me if they catch. Brick?
The Brain
No.
Brendan
Or Bad Brick?
The Brain
Nope.
Brendan
Tug?
The Brain
Tug? Tug might be a drink, like milk and vodka, or something.
Brendan
Poor Frisco?
The Brain
Frisco? Frisco Farr was a sophomore last year, real trash. Maybe hit a class a week, I didn't know him then, haven't seen him around.
Brendan
Pin?
The Brain
Pin. The Pin?
Brendan
The Pin, yeah?
The Brain
The Pin's kinda a local spook story, you know, the Kingpin?
Brendan
Heard it.
The Brain
Same thing. He's supposed to be old, like 26. Lives in town.
Brendan
Dope runner, right?
The Brain
Big time. See, the Pin pipes it from the lowest scrapper to Brad Bramish himself. ...Maybe. I mean, ask any dope rat where the junk sprang, and they'll say they scraped it off that, who scored it off this, who bought it off so on -- after four or five connections the list always ends with The Pin. But I betcha you got every rat in town together and said show your hands if any of 'em actually seen the Pin, and you'd get a crowd of full pockets.
Brendan
You think The Pin's just a tale to take whatever heat?
The Brain
Hmm... So what's first?
Brendan
Show of hands.
