Come Back, Dr. Caligari 精彩片段:
The Joker's Greatest Triumph
Fredric went over to his friend Bruce Waynes house about every Tuesday night. Bruce would be typically sitting in his study drinking a glass of something. Fredric would come in and sit down and look around the study in which there were many trophies of past exploits.
"Well Fredric what have you been doing? Anything?"
"No Bruce things have been just sort of rocking along."
"Well this is Tuesday night and usually theres some action on Tuesday night."
"I know Bruce or otherwise I wouldnt pick Tuesday night to come over."
"You want me to turn on the radio Fredric? Usually theres something interesting on the radio or maybe youd like a little music from my hi-fi?"
Bruce Waynes radio was a special short-wave model with many extra features. When Bruce turned it on there was a squealing noise and then they were listening to Tokyo or somewhere. Above the radio on the wall hung a trophy from an exploit: a long African spear with a spearhead made of tin.
"Tell me Bruce what is it youre drinking there?" Fredric asked.
"Im sorry Fredric its tomato juice. Can I get you a glass?"
"Does it have anything in it or is it just plain tomato juice?"
"Its tomato juice with a little vodka."
"Yes I wouldnt mind a glass," Fredric said. "Not too heavy on the vodka please."
While Bruce went out to the kitchen to make the drink Fredric got up and went over to examine the African spear more closely. It was he saw tipped with a rusty darkish substance, probably some rare exotic poison he thought.
"What is this stuff on the end of this African spear?" he asked when Bruce came back into the room.
