“We need no runners here. Booze is law
and all the Indians drink in the best tavern.
Money is free if you’re poor enough.”

Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
