Grifters-Main

A Story by Abishai100
"

A Homeland prince, a natural grifter, makes 'wage' for some eco-capitalism 'line' yielding a Romanticism-retirement view for (all) things...dialysis.

An adaptation of The Grifters (John Cusack). Thanks for reading!

Mr. Amlan Satan had become a special Algerian-American 'natural-grifter' and sought a blood-diamond 'wage' with a Kentucky derby-investor chess-tied with rogue-finances for labor exploitations (Ion-company) and effectively cast himself as a deep-thinker of the Artful Dodger variety, perchance for an 'incomplete-distances' reading of Earthling capitalism/consumerism (insurance) 'confidence' for superstitions in the 21st-Century post-9/11 era of invasion-and-displacement paranoia destabilizing globalism-rhetoric in his age of social media (and theater!).



ESMERELDA: I can't just deviate from Ion, pal.
SATAN: Do you 'doubt' my sense(s) of capitalism-race 'chess' dialysis, Ezzy?
ESMERELDA: This upstart-racer company (Arklow) has a million-dollar value?
SATAN: Baron Ion will go for the co-investment with me; I'll hype his gems!
ESMERELDA: And thereby draw (Interpol-relation?) insurance-eyes.
SATAN: Churchill-Downs on YouTube from Brussels with our antiques, Ezzy!
ESMERELDA: You're a natural-grifter, a prince of fortune-readings and lines, eh?
SATAN: I learned everything (in Algiers) from my (departed) mum, Nina, Ezzy.
ESMERELDA: That's sweet...you've got the tones of innocence, despite life.
SATAN: Everyone likes antiques, no?
ESMERELDA: Oh, shoot (bureaucracy-arts).
SATAN: You mean the world to me, Esmerelda (know that).
ESMERELDA: I guess (good).



BARON ION: This guy's a self-made Artful Dodger...dreams of James Bond.
ASSOCIATE: This Arklow-company may be a millionaire-chip, boss!
BARON ION: I guess there's 'play-space' for racer-insurance interest/rates.
ASSOCIATE: What's with the racer-gem chess-link, for Mr. Satan, boss?
BARON ION: Sounds like some bureau-division 'line' for horse-diamond news!
ASSOCIATE: His commission's handsome, and he's handling some of your gems?
BARON ION: He better not turn out as a grifter, for Churchill-Down's journals.
ASSOCIATE: It's a magazine-universe, and Mr. Satan's got celeb-dialysis eyes.
BARON ION: Good for eco-capitalism nonsense (cool).



Did Satan and Ezzy make it all the way to Belgium? You bet they did, and it's thanks to Amlan's natural gift of language-arts and bureaucracy-arts, as Esmerelda would note (for us!). If Amlan Satan failed, you can bet the Ion-company would make 'mark' of him as an Artful Dodger of the tragedy-variety, but that's the 'consciousness' of grifter-science, and it's unforgiving and requires a thinker or a prince to simply be a sort of 'master' of doubts (wow).



EZZY: You learned everything from Nina, eh?
SATAN: All good sons and bad sons have something to say about Oedipus, no?
EZZY: You loved her.
SATAN: I love you now, and you can know that, Esmerelda (wow).
EZZY: We got lucky.
SATAN: Talent is luck, Ezzy, but you're right (too!).
EZZY: Good (bureaucracy-science)...for the soul of fiction.
SATAN: Don't write about me, Esmerelda (please).
EZZY: Why not (fiction)?
SATAN: That's the real science of grifter-chess...it's fiction (damn).
EZZY: Alright...I'll be your art-angel (thanx).
