“When you’re a full-time serious drunk, empties become a longstanding problem. They pile up fast, right under your nose, and you can’t believe one person could use that much of anything. Empties aren’t just garbage, they’re evidence. Evidence of how much you use and so therefore evidence of what you are. Like corpses heaping up in exponential proportion, they force you into the business of digging mass graves.”

“Most people don’t realize how often PI’s deal with escaped quarry. You think running after a rabbit in an unfamiliar forest is confusing? Try hunting a human being in the middle of San Francisco. Tailing someone on the freeway isn’t so bad, but when gobs of crowds and cars are set up every 10 feet, almost as if the entire world plays along against the PI, chasing after one little person can be like fighting a one-man war. That’s why any good PI is an underdog at heart. He’s used to getting what he needs from a world determined not to give it to him.”
