Conversation · Cuno

"Why don't we go pester some other kids now?" he says impatiently.

Hmm... That's actually not such a bad idea. Kids do see stuff.

He just has no heart and no sympathy for the cause. It's not your fault.

Maybe you should ask these things from other, more well mannered kids the next time. Hmm...

"This isn't about me, Cuno, it's about the people I'm trying to help. It's too late for me anyway..."

"Stop shitting yourself in front of the Cuno. Cuno thought you were some kind of big shit, what is this..."

"If you don't tell me, I'll have to go ask other people, and that will take too long... The body is decomposing..."

"But you see," he says slowly, savouring every word, "Cuno wants for it to decompose. Cuno digs that cadaver shit."

"Go fuck off and ask someone else! Cuno's not gonna snitch, he likes corpses!"

This isn't working at all, you lied to me, Golden Mouth Man.

You just haven't done it long enough. You need to do it even longer.

The Golden Mouth Man is a liar. He can't be trusted, sire. He only wants to humiliate you.

Paranoid whisperings. He is not trying to humiliate you. He just doesn't know better.

See, I'm not trying to humiliate you. I just don't know any better. Say it!

No, it's the Face Blob who's trying to humiliate you. Why does he speak like that? Why can't he speak like a normal person?

So not sure about this. Asking for class solidarity seems naive in this case.

Can't you see his hair is red -- the colour of social democracy?

"That doesn't mean anything."

Just trust me. He'll sympathize if he realizes you could actually lose your job over this.

Aren't social democrats traitors?

Not all of them. Social democrats have their hearts in the right place. Some of them can be valuable allies if you turn them.

"Fine, Cuno... Don't help me then." (Back off.)

"Wasn't going to." He waves you off. "Cuno's not into bacon-charity."

"You can't turn Cuno into your little popo-man! Cuno's his own man!"

"Really? I don't believe it."

"Cuno knows all kinds of shit. Cuno gets around."

"Where can I find this perfect fridge, then?"
