We didnt do anything wrong hardly

I mean, it isn’t like we swiped anything. We maybe borrowed a couple of things, like. But, gee, we put everything back like we found it, pretty near. Even like the compressor we got from Stinky Brinker that his old man wasn’t using and I traded my outboard motor for, my old m … my father made me trade back. But it was like Skinny said … You know, Skinny. Skinny Thompson. He’s the one you guys keep calling the boy genius, but shucks, he’s no . . . Well, yeah, it’s like Skinny said, we didn’t need an outboard motor, and we did need a compressor. You’ve got to have a compressor on a spaceship, everybody knows that. And that old compression chamber that old man . . . I mean Mr. Fields let us use didn’t have a compressor. Sure he said we could use it. Anyway he said we could play with it, and Skinny said we were going to make a spaceship out of it, and he said go ahead. Well, no, he didn’t say it exactly like that. I mean, well, like he didn’t take it serious, sort of. . . .
