Because of our splendid past, I felt I owed it to Bob to re-create our relationship. I’m sad to say it didn’t work. He didn’t understand Victor and his artistic tendencies; in fact, to my incredible embarrassment he attempted to beat him up on two separate occasions. This made me look unpeaceful, and I just couldn’t take the chance of blowing my new cool. That I had once considered this macho greaser anything but a passing acquaintance made Victor look at me very, very suspiciously.
