Chapter Seven: The Bite

Stop!!

Stop right there!!

What was that?

I told them they should have sex.

They have not had sex?

And why all this?

If I just turn the keys-- it's like turning off a car.

But then the car still works, does it not?

Yes.

And do you want the car to still work or do you want it to explode?

I want the car to explode.

Good. Then do this.

Just make sure you are nowhere near it when it does. It is not pretty.

Turns people into dust.

And then...

It's over.

And I become an American citizen and join in the fun, yes?

Who said you had to be an American to join the fun?

It doesn't get more American than this, my friend--

Fatty foods, ugly decadence...

rigged games...

They are rigged, these games?

Yes.

They do not look rigged...

That's just it, my dear Alexei.

They have been designed to present the illusion of fairness!

But it's all a scam, a trick,

to put your money in the rich man's pocket.
