Second Cat: Hey Mezzie, lay some of that hard-cuttin’ mess on me. I’m short of a deuce of blips but I’ll straighten you later. Mezzrow: Righteous, gizz, you’re a poor boy but a good boy—now don’t come up crummy. Second Cat: Never no crummy, chummy. I’m gonna lay a drape under the trey of knockers for Tenth Street and I’ll be on the scene, wearin’ the green.
