Chapter 3
?íma
restaurant update. I have found a place off Ponce that does a pork shoulder that made Ková? cry
Ková?
I did not cry. my eyes responded to the smoke
?íma
his eyes responded. that is what happened. the man was moved by pork
Novotny
the pork was good
Polá?ek
you had chicken
Novotny
I'm speaking generally. the establishment had good energy. the pork was part of the energy
Polá?ek
you can't review pork you didn't eat
Novotny
I was adjacent to the pork. the adjacency counts
?íma
the adjacency counts. Novotny has spoken. I am filing this under pork-adjacent testimony
Ková?
is the barbecue place open tomorrow? I want to go back
?íma
Ková? wants to go back. the man has been in Atlanta for ten days and has found three restaurants he would die for. I think he is moving here
Ková?
I am not moving here. I am appreciating the food while I have access
Hájek
training at eight. recovery at noon. film session at three. if you're going to the barbecue place go after five
?íma
Hájek with the schedule
Hájek
someone has to manage the schedule
?íma
Mare?. are you coming to the barbecue place
Mare??
Ková?
he's probably at the gym
?íma
he has been at the gym every night this week. the gym closes at eleven and I have seen him come back at ten fifty-five
Hájek
he's preparing. round of sixteen. you know how he gets
?íma
I know how he gets
Polá?ek
is he okay?
Hájek
he's fine. he's focused
Novotny
he's been quiet
Hájek
he's always quiet
?íma
he's always quiet but this is a different quiet
Hájek
?íma. leave it
?íma
I'm leaving it. I have left it. consider it left
Ková?
barbecue at six tomorrow. Novotny you are not allowed to order chicken
Novotny
I'll order what I want
Ková?
you will order beef and you will expand your horizons
Polá?ek
let him have chicken
Ková?
I will not let him have chicken. we are in the barbecue capital of the American south and this man wants chicken. this is a failure of ambition
Mare?
I'll come to the barbecue
?íma
he lives
Mare?
six o'clock is fine. I'll be done by then
Hájek
good. team dinner. all of us. I'll tell the rest of the group
?íma
noting for the record that Vě? replied to the barbecue question forty-five minutes after the question was asked. the previous Mare? response time in this chat was under four minutes
