"Lucky for me, I'm not big on tears." It might've counted as a sob story, but Waxey doesn't remember a whole lot of blame being flung. Doesn't remember her looking after pity, at all. She'd been well the fuck past that. (It'd been a little bit pathetic. Almost lamentable, not that Waxey'd really given a shit.) When she'd named Warden, it'd seemed more like stating a fact: Warden Rankin is a vicious sack of shit. Which is the truth.
He almost smirks at the vicious sack of shit's reference to 'the eternal dope'; it ain't a bad name for Mickey. And Warden's got a fair point about Doyle: who the fuck knew why the shithead had stayed? He'd always been more of a jump ship type of guy. Maybe he'd gotten sick of running. Maybe he'd gotten to the point of thinking some sleazy boardwalk club was enough. Maybe Nucky Thompson'd been sucking his prick; doesn't fucking matter. Mickey's a whole lotta nothing now, just another corpse in the ground.
(Almost true. Not quite. Because it's pretty clear Mickey's also a memory for Aramat Drawdes. And thanks to her, Waxey ain't entirely forgotten the prick, either.)
And all right, all right, at least the broad isn't entirely immortal. It could be worse, right? "Good to know you got options.
"And that you ain't coming into Philly with those bombs."
