The Games People Play
“General” Josiah Warren: There’s something like this that just, just…legitimate. It’s just no way to make a living. What beomes of the joy of preparation, the excitement of selecting the sucker, the tension as he smells the trap, the gratification as you play him and reel him in, and that supreme moment when you close the trap and you hold the money in your hand? What becomes of all that?
Roseanne Warren: Ask your friends in jail.
“General” Josiah Warren: Oh, the child’s right
