I like the way you interpreted that! he said, about BB and TJ both getting their freedom from the same place. That. Felt. Good. And goofy Joe was into it, too. They even seemed, for a moment, to appreciate the idea of the power of language--the way you can be all civilized, rational and formal, and still be totally STICKING it to someone....
