in knocking him out. Soldier Ball,
you can be a Nazi all you want, but
if you were raised in the Milanese
suburbs, you’ve lost touch with the
earth, with blood, I don’t.
Soldier ball tonight I am your
Southerner.
With him out I can help out, I see
someone on the ground bleeding
stuck between two cars with a bald
head on top ready to open him up
again: wonderful kick in the ass to
clear the area and flying rescue:
come on dear, the world still loves
you! The Soldier Ball must have

DIGRESSION NUMBER FOUR: I was
right about Soldier Ball: he was in
fact their leader and obviously had
many more problems than mine: a

are not stupid. At the advice of the
old guard, I leave the car, since my
car is the one that was charging
