“Well that is not good—”

“What we have is in many ways better we have a pig with a man’s eyeball stitched in to its head whacked-up on veterinary painkillers so that she is high as a weather balloon. So long as you do not sing, the system will read her transplanted eye as a happy human, so long as we can get her to the reader. She is not ideally proportioned for retinal scans.”

“…”

“…”

“…Charlie is that how it went down for reals?”

“Boss I can still smell pig blood and hear the sound of the saw do not make me answer that.”

“…”

“…”
