Marjie is too nice a girl to get involved with someone who fucked his brains out with someone like Elsa.

Not to mention doing the same thing with that Hungarian redhead in that whorehouse Sergeant Freddy Hessinger got us into in Munich.

And what did Tiny Dunwiddie have to say about that? That I obviously have a natural talent for that sort of recreation. . . .

You really ought to be ashamed of yourself, you oversexed whoremonger.

The Squirt is like a sister.

Even Mom was always saying the Squirt was the daughter she never had.

And—for Christ’s sake!—you used to go to Sunday school with her!

Well, it stops right here!

Cronley heard Niedermeyer as he said, “Clete, none of us”—he gestured around the table at Strübel, Frogger, and Ashton—“know what you’re talking about. What rendezvous points?”

Clete pointed to Jimmy.

“He found the point where we think U-234 made landfall. That’s what all this is about.”

I don’t want him to learn any more about what’s going on than I have to.

But if I throw him out, he’ll know it’s because I don’t trust him.

“I know who you are, you ugly gringo!” General Nervo cried happily as he went to Frade. “I saw your picture on the front page of La Nacíon. You were standing on the balcony of the Casa Rosada beside our beloved Coronel Juan Domingo Perón as he waved at the idiots.”

He picked Frade off his feet in a bear hug.

“Have you been a good boy, Cletus, or are you fomenting revolution again?”
