Quote preview background for Jim Thompson
I sat down in a booth, and the waitress shoved a menu in front of me. There wasn__ anything on it that sounded good, and anyway, one look at her and my stomach turned flipflops_ Every goddamned restaurant I go to, it__ always the same way_ They__l have some old bag on the payroll _ I figure they keep her locked up in the mop closet until they see me coming. And they__l doll her up in the dirtiest goddamned apron they can find and smear that crappy red polish all over her fingernails, and everything about her is smeary and sloppy and smelly. And she__ the dame that always waits on me.
