Brown asked Polack recognized the condescension"I'll get along," he said shortlyLike the flick of a lash, he remembered his family and grimacedWhat a dumb Polack his old man had beenAaah, it makes you tough, he decidedA guy like Brown could shoot his mouth off, but when you knew the way to make a pile you kept quietIn Chicago you could do it; that was a townWomen and lots of noise, lots of big operators"They can keep this goddam jungle," he saidThe water was a little deeper and he felt it tickling against the back of his kneesIf he hadn't got in the Army he'd probably be workin' right under Kabriskie now"A-a-ah," Polack said And Brown was dejectedHe did not know why, but the oppression of the air, the resistance of the current, had exhausted him alreadyHe felt an unreasonable catch of fear"Boy, I hate these goddam packs," he said
