Get in the shaft, stupid!
You unscrew the ventilation grille with the extra-long fingernails you grew out during your trial after you found out they wouldn't let you bring a screwdriver into prison. As you set the shaft cover gently on the ground, you hear bickering voices approaching. It sounds like Eddie Murphy and Whoopi Goldberg! You'd better hurry, or they might see you and alert a guard.You face away from the wall and slip into the shaft feet first, keeping control of your descent by applying pressure outwards. Soon, you are entirely in the shaft. You reach out to pull the grille back into place, but the door opens and you slip just out of view instead.
You hear footsteps approach. It's Eddie. "'bout time they installed a garbage can in here," he says. Old banana peels, damp coffee grounds and used condoms rain down on your head. "I been carrying that crap aroun' since they pinched me while I was takin' out the trash. I kep' tryin' to put it down, but they say they don't have no budget for no garbage collection fac-silities!"
"You poor thing," says Whoopi. "Come here."
"Shut up!" Eddie yells. "Your shitlocks should go in there next!"
Climb out and give Eddie a stern talking-to.
Swallow your anger and make your way down the shaft.
