"Well, they tried putting Mr. Crick out of business back in ’44, just after Nell’s opened. But John Law ran into a nest full of hornets he couldn’t do anything about because as soon as he turned one way, he’d get his butt stung, and by the time he turned back, the bug was ghosted and gone. John Law don’t like it when his life is uncomfortable. He learned his lesson and went back to his doughnuts and soykaf, looking the other way and letting life go on. Doesn’t hurt that Mr. Crick buys the occasional dozen of doughnuts, either. This place is a hole in the wall of society, kid. Be thankful it’s here for us to bolt through."
