Litachur frag

Part of a lost short I wrote several years ago and probably not to be replaced. Still, part, as reconstructed:

...as bars likely have policies against non-employees behind the bar, as such places usually and properly do to protect the employees and mostly the till from the sleazoid patrons which are every self respecting bar’s Major Benefactors as they say at museums, art and otherwise, and why else allow them into the establishment to threaten the profits and the employees and the other Patrons, except to channel their cash flow, in reverse and reciprocal motion like the water which may or may not be added to the bourbon and other potables more or even less appetizing, except of course for Government Inspectors who push themselves in anywhere they aren’t wanted as that’s their job and how else are poor hard working entrepreneurial type bar owners supposed to pay them off except with cash and liquor and sordid sex and excise taxes behind the bar when the fellow comes in murmuring “Up Against the Wall” as in Motherfuckers! and everybody ducks for cover and inconspicuousness as well they might, being downtrodden noble freedom seeking proles at odds with inspectors and malefactors in general of that extortionate ilk or ilks as proper usage may dictate? And when will the noble downtrodden proles bite the hand you may ask, which slaps them demanding a piece of the barkeep’s action in the name of protecting the sleazoids from the substances they have come there specifically to ingest but instead of said protection just takes their hard earned green which the keep has added to their bills in order to stay herself afloat and instead use it for their own nefarious purposes such as oppressing those ingesting other substances substantially less injurious and mayhap more so too and claiming most nobly to be doing it For The Children? Principles are principles but the Health Inspector or mayhap some purportedly other from the Government who is Here to Help You has guns and more of them and who in her right mind would commit the Big Goodbye to save the grease for her own principal by one night saying Nay?
