He was touchy1 about my independence, what he called my indifference2. If I was obliged to ask him for a little dough3 he was delighted. That gave him a chance to deliver a little sermon on friendship. "So you have to have money, too?" he'd say, with a big satisfied grin spreading all over his face. "So the poet has to eat too? Well, well... It's lucky you came to me. Henry me boy, because I'm easy with you, I know you, you heartless son of a bitch. Sure, what do you want?

Huh! Lucky there's guys like me around that understand you. You need to get wise to yourself. Henry. You're dreaming. Everybody wants to eat, don't you know that? Most people are willing to work for it - they don't lie in bed all day like you and then suddenly pull on their pants and run to the first friend at hand. Supposing I wasn't here, what would you have done? Don't answer... I know what you're going to say. But listen, you can't go on all your life like that. Sure you talk fine - it's a pleasure to listen to you. You're the only guy I know that I really enjoy talking to, but where's it going to get you? One of these days they'll lock you up for
