Is that kid smoking a pipe?
“Pipey? Yeah. It’s his thing, man.”

Why’d you call him Taxicab?
“Ears.”
Sure.
“Next to him is Pipey.”
We’ve been introduced.
“And there’s me, and another guy, and on the other end is Joe Strummer.”
Time Sheath?
“Yeah.”
You skipped a person. Who’s the kid standing next to you?
“Don’t worry about that, man.”
Why not?
“Well, you know how it’s 1958 and all?”
Uh-huh.
“And, as you can see, the cat’s a bit darker than the rest of us, right?”

Oh, God, you just called him “N—-r,” didn’t you?
“No.”
Oh, good.
“We called him ‘N—-r Pete.”

The past is cancelled.
Pipey XD
