• The first movie I ever saw was a blaxploitation movie. It was called 'Monkey Hustle.' Like I said, just listen to the name. That's a blaxploitation movie. It had these incredible, bigger-than-life images of people who looked like I did. Or who looked like I wanted to look like.

• On that walk around the building, two sets of cops coming out stopped to tell our guys to hustle us inside so they could head back out on the road. Accidents everywhere.

• Eyeing the traffic circulating the lobby hung with bad art. Big invasive stuff unloaded on Stanley Bard in exchange for rent. The hotel is an energetic, desperate haven for scores of gifted hustling children from every rung of the ladder. Guitar bums and stoned-out beauties in Victorian dresses. Junkie poets, playwrights, broke-down filmmakers, and French actors. Everybody passing through here is somebody, if not in the outside world.

• I wouldn't care to speculate about what it is in Westlake's psyche that makes him so good at writing about Parker, much less what it is that makes me like the Parker novels so much. Suffice it to say that Stark/Westlake is the cleanest of all noir novelists, a styleless stylist who gets to the point with stupendous economy, hustling you down the path of plot so briskly that you have to read his books a second time to appreciate the elegance and sober wit with which they are written.

• You heard about, through word of mouth,
  Big Bird is out, he's in the house.
  He's turnin' up, with Snuffleup,
  They're really gettin' their hustle up.
  They stick together like Velcro,
  There Grover go, there's Elmo.
  And Cookie Monster there, look he likes
  To take selfies with his cell phone.
  They got a homegirl named Abby,
  Her last name is Cadabby,
  I showed her my report card,
  She said, 'Not too shabby!'
  They got all types of cool kids there,
  It's lots of fun if you live there,
  One thing I keep forgettin' about Sesame Street...
  How do you get there?

• The business of beauty isn't a natural model;
  It's built to be the opposite of the cultures we topple.
  These magazines got you caught in a hustle,
  Cause when you starve yourself, your body doesn't burn fat, it burns muscles.
