I mean.

What exactly are you doing?

I am vacuuming at May Company by day.

Uhmm...

Impressive.

... I know.

And chasing our beloved, feral, mad dog by night.

And where is Dean?

What's the schedule?

So, I got off work a half hour ago.

At that time, Dean is screwing Marylou at the hotel.

At one sharp, he goes from Marylou to Camille, the new girl.

Of course, neither knows what's going on, but he screws her once, giving me time to arrive at 130.

Then we go out for our unfinished business until 6 in the morning.

"Unfinished business"?

Dean and I are trying to communicate with absolute honesty and completeness everything in our minds.

We do it on Benzedrine.

And then at 6, he goes back to Marylou and spends the rest of the day

running around trying to sort out the necessary papers for the divorce.

All that he wants to do is go back to San Francisco and marry Camille.

It's sick !

And I bet she's incredibly ugly.

Like Helen of Troy with a f***ing brain.

What are you doing?

(whispers)Camille really hates me right now.

Why, Sal !

(laughs)Yes, you've arrived !

You finally got on that old road, didn't you?

I did.

Look here, Camille, it's my good buddy Sal from New York.

Sorry for not getting up, Sal, but I wasn't expecting company at this hour.

I'm sorry.

I should leave.

It's Sal's first time in Denver and I think it's absolutely necessary for me to take him out and fix him up with a girl.

Right now?

I should be back no later than 314 for our hour of reverie, darling.

Works all day, runs around all night.

He never eats, he never sleeps...

Ain't she something?

The man thinks he's Superman.

Yeah.

As I said, not 3 but 314.

Now are we straight in the most wonderful and deepest depths of our soul, dear darling?

Is he offering me a choice?

I don't think he's offering you a choice, no.

Hee-hee !

Yes.

You look like a smart guy.

I bet you're wondering what he sees in me, huh?

Respectability?

Very good.

I'm impressed.

Let's go to work, babies.

So now that you're sleeping with half of Denver, are there any girls left for me?

Well now listen here, Sal.

I know a girl named Rita and Rita cannot wait to meet you.

We'll go there at once !

I thought we were going to talk.

Yes, yes, after.

If you want to know my true nature, at this moment?

I'm one of those people who goes around showing his cock to juvenile delinquents.

(Sal laughs)Oh, these Denver doldrums...

Isn't he the finest, smartest fellow in the world?

You know that old guy?

I thought it was my pops.

Carlo, wait up !

Voila.

Darling.

Bless me father, for I will sin.

Yum, yum, yum

It's nice to have you boys.

What's so funny, my boy?

I'm checking my pulse.

Jack Kerouac

Jack Kerouac (; born Jean-Louis Kérouac (though he called himself Jean-Louis Lebris de Kérouac); March 12, 1922 – October 21, 1969) was an American novelist and poet of French-Canadian descent.He is considered a literary iconoclast and, alongside William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg, a pioneer of the Beat Generation. Kerouac is recognized for his method of spontaneous prose. Thematically, his work covers topics such as Catholic spirituality, jazz, promiscuity, Buddhism, drugs, poverty, and travel. He became an underground celebrity and, with other beats, a progenitor of the hippie movement, although he remained antagonistic toward some of its politically radical elements.In 1969, at age 47, Kerouac died from an abdominal hemorrhage caused by a lifetime of heavy drinking. Since his death, Kerouac's literary prestige has grown, and several previously unseen works have been published. All of his books are in print today, including The Town and the City, On the Road, Doctor Sax, The Dharma Bums, Mexico City Blues, The Subterraneans, Desolation Angels, Visions of Cody, The Sea Is My Brother, and Big Sur. more…
