"You need to get your little red book of phone numbers He went and got it, then handed me the cordless telephoneI sat for a moment with it in my lap, not sure who to call firstBut there is one rule of modern life even more ironclad than the one which states that there's never a cop 844 around when you need one: when you really need a human being, you always get the answering machine That's what I got at Dario Nannuzzi's home, at Jimmy Yoshida's, at Alice Aucoin's "Fuck!" I cried, slamming the disconnect button with my thumb when Alice's recorded voice started in with "I'm sorry I'm not here to take your call right now, but-" "They're probably still celebrating," Wireman said "Give it time, amigo, and it'll all quiet down "I don't have time!"
