He gazed up at the enormous face. Three years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the pasty white skin that had not seen sunlight for weeks. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved law school.

For once Spackler consented to break his rule, and he read out to her what was written on the wall. There was nothing there now except a single Commandment. It ran:

ALL DOODS ARE EQUAL BUT BOOMERS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS

'Actually it would have made no difference,' he said.

'Then why are you sorry you didn't do it?'

'Only because I prefer a positive to a negative. In this game that we're playing, we can't win. Some kinds of failure are better than other kinds, that's all.'

He felt her shoulders give a wriggle of dissent. She always contradicted him when he said anything of this kind. She would not accept it as a law of nature that the bottom 1/3 is always defeated. In a way she realized that she herself was doomed, that sooner or later ITE would catch her and pwn her, but with another part of her mind she believed that it was somehow possible to inhabit a secret world in which you could poast as you chose. All you needed was luck and cunning and boldness and an internet connection. She did not understand that there was no such thing as happiness, that an upper-middle-class lifestyle lay only in the far future, long after you were destroyed, that from the moment of declaring war on your lot in life it was better to think of yourself as a corpse.

'We are the dead,' he said.

"I betrayed you," he said.

She gave him another quick look of dislike.

"Sometimes," she said, "they threaten you with something you can't stand up to, can't even think about. And then you say, ‘Don't do it to me, do it to somebody else, do it to So-and-so.’ And perhaps you might pretend, afterwards, that it was only a trick and that you just said it to make them stop and didn't really mean it. But that isn't true. At the time when it happens you do mean it. You think there's no other way of saving yourself, and you're quite ready to save yourself that way. You want it to happen to the other person. You don't give a damn what they suffer. All you care about is yourself."

"All you care about is yourself," he echoed.

"And after that, you don't feel the same towards the other person any longer."

"No," he said, "enjoy DLA Piper."
