Laura ironically confirms: "I""m a happily married woman."Fred, dear Fred.There""s so much that I want to say o you.You""re the only one in the world with enough wisdom and gentleness to understand.If only it was somebody else""s story and not mine.As it is, you""re the only one in the world that I can never tell.Never never.Because even if I waited until we were old, old people and told you then, you""d be bound to look back over the years and be hurt...I am taking back what you stole").The dragon responded about his dominance:You will take nothing from me, Dwarf.I laid low your warriors of old.I instilled terror in the hearts of Men.I am King Under the Mountain.This is not your kingdom.As the dragon approached Thorin, the Dwarf King heir proclaimed revenge ("These are Dwarf lands.This is Dwarf gold.And we will have our revenge").He cut away the outer stone shell-cast of the Dwarf mold to reveal a newly-forged, giant, golden Dwarf King statue inside.The story is based on the book of the same name from Sally Benson""s memoirs of her life in St.Louis, Missouri from 1903-4 - they were recalled and written in multiple issues ofThe New Yorker Magazinefrom 1941-1942 (originally published under the itle "5135 Kensington" and eventually gathered together asThe Kensington Stories)." The "filthy, dirty old drunkie" taunts them and is severely beaten after masochistically bemoaning the state of affairs in the present society - "a stinking world" where the young show no respect for the elderly:Alex (voice-over): One thing I could never stand was to see a filthy, dirty old drunkie, howling away at the filthy songs of his fathers and going blerp, blerp in between, as it might be a filthy old orchestra in his stinking rotten guts.When Lecter found Lady Murasaki and walked forward to untie her, Grutas shot him in the back/spine.He then taunted Lecter, believing he was paralyzed: "You won""t feel it when I cut off your balls.(To Lady Murasaki) A present for you.A velvet bag." Grutas then began to forcibly finger-rape Lady Murasaki, as Lecter reached for his Tanto - it had protected him from harm when chipped by the bullet.
