1. Brutal accounting. Tragically bad movie.

2. Back rooms of Chinese restaurants. Anonymous hotels. Reagan-omics. Flash forwards to my past.

3. Sweet and sleepy hold-up.

4. Book tour roll-in. Murderous toys. The blue's too blue and the green's too green.

5. Hint at the past but never show it. Well, maybe show it a little.

6. Studying for CIA personality tests.
