"I'm supposed to be doing that for the rest of my natural life, I intend to sin very thoroughly in this narrow period of reprieve."

"Ah, then have you been stealing from the collection place?"

"Yes, I can hear that through the ceiling."
"-- gluttony, self-abuse and fffffornication. Sodomy. That sort of thing."
