That bundle of raw nerves, Max, and a dead monkey upstairs. And the wind wheezing through...
Something wrong with the clip?
Quote
Joe Gillis (as narrator):
She sat coiled up like a watch spring, her cigarette planted in a curious holder. I could sense her eyes on me from behind those dark glasses, defying me not to like what I read, or maybe begging me in her own proud way to like it. It meant so much to her. It sure was a cozy setup: that bundle of raw nerves, Max, and a dead monkey upstairs. And the wind wheezing through that organ once in a while.
