big holes. I get the point. Put these on. Behind you. Your pretty little mate. Where is she, inside? She's gone, man. I didn't realize you were so tired of living. What the fuck? Don't! Don't kill me, man. Whaќs the magic word? -Please. -Please. Please, please what? Please don't kill me. Oh, I do like a boy with manners. You beckon the doorman and you keep your hole shut. -Your girlfrienпs close, isn't she? -You got me. Can I help you? Just conducting a little inquest here in your beautiful, beautiful Kosk parlour. You're no cop. Colt? Colt, you down there? Colt! Have a seat. I'll stand if you don't mind. Please! Okay. Cuff yourself to that bar. Give it a nice little tug. Cigarette? Yeah. Oh, so sorry. I don't have any. You're a spook, man. You know that? You need some serious fucking therapy. Oh, but iќs so much fun to watch, isn't it? I guess so. I have unusually sensitive skin. We must guard continually against infections. They do cause complications. I knew Pinwheel was cutting costs, but they must be really desperate to bring you in. Where do you hail from, Mr. Ricks? New Orleans. Have you ever been to the magical Far East? No, I haven't had the pleasure. You really should get out more, Mr. Ricks. Travel really does broaden the mind. Now... Are you going to tell me where she is? I told you I have no idea where she is. Little boy Colten has lost his mate and doesn't fancy a look. But, Master Bench and his bloody henchmen must hang his head on a hook. What the hell is that? Thaќs the third eye. They say to me that it does help you see far into the future. Shit. No, no, do not cover it up. Iќs a liquid crystal base, very very sensitive to the light. You see? Otherwise iќs going to burn a furrow deep, deep, deep into your corpus colossus and then you're going to be in a desperate state. All this fun has just left me limp with excitement. I believe I'm going to join you in your peaceful slumber. You have pleasant dreams, Mr. Ricks. I think we're coming around, yes? Hello, my name is Tea. Would you like Miss Chen with your cream? Re-code logical and pattern back. Entry first subject. Who... who is you, greeting me? And I am? -Miss Chen. -Who has offered you...? Cream... for my tea. And if you don't like cream? I'll take it black, thank you. Well, it doesn't appear to be any serious damage. Now, VEM replication. I want optical memory playback. You've been a naughty girl. Iќs in my program. It appears as if Pinwheel has planted a bomb in you. Yes. Can you remove it? I don't think it can be removed. Your entire system appears to be suffused with it. This is the detonator. Iќs still active. Not necessarily. There. The detonation clock in your field of vision will gradually run its course to zero and stop. On the other hand... No! Oh, yes! Make it stop! Well, whaќs it worth? Anything. Just make it stop. I know you have a partner. A cyborg. Tell me where he is, and I guarantee safe passage out of the country. All right. They say the happiest people have no memories. None. You've been contacted by a tapper. Just stay in the dark and don't reveal any landmarks. Geography always tips them off. -Are you all right? -Yes. I just hope Mercy contacts us soon. Yeah. Mercy. Iќs not what you expected, is it? What? The world. Topside. I thought it would be beautiful. Yeah, well, it ceased to be beautiful a long time ago. People just screwed it up. How could they let it get so bad? Because people aren't programmed, Cash. They're not schematics and they're not circuitry. They're flesh and blood. They learn by trial and error. Some errors are worse than others. Some of the trials, too. Now you're talking about cyborgs. Man's puny attmept to play God. A fucked concept, I mean... I hated you all and Pinwheel, you know? I mean when I first started working ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Бермудский треугольник на английском - текст Хрусталёв, машину! на английском - текст Детсадовский полицейский на английском - текст Жидкое небо на английском - текст Легион на английском |
