Commandant has turned over a prisoner to Stevenson for examination. There are bleeding rectums on every Main Street in Anytown, USA.
"What we see here," Stevenson explains as he stitches the fingers back on, "is proto-tumors, the speciacide of the body. Tumors are the body's natural early warning system. These ones here, they could have come from any damn whore the boy ever fucked. You can tell by the length of his nails, by nicotine stains on the fingers, that he was a man of considerable ill repute."

Commandant is interrogating the deceased prisoner while his personal assistant stands behind, writing down what is said.
"You ever been to a house in Fair Oaks?" Commandant asks.
"You talking to me or the stiff?" the assistant shoots back.
"We can cover it up." Commandant turns to Stevenson and says, "Might you be prepared to autopsy this piece of shit?"
"He's a bleeder," Stevenson replies. "New money always bleeds. They lack coagulatory discipline and are full up of proto-tumors."

Kell emerges from the backroom of Stevenson's villa, sniveling and unbalanced, bleeding from the ears. He produces a ten pieta note and says glumly, "This will cover the damage to the closet that looks like a bathroom in the dark."
Stevenson becomes agitated and shouts, "Estrogen, estrogen! We'll shoot this corpse up until a chromosome's been changed!"
