America 1982

It's best to get straight to the point when talking to white trash. They are not interested in listening to polite greetings from outsiders. If they are not interested in the first sentence, they will probably close the door directly.

The young man was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his face vigorously, became more interested, and asked in an obviously excited tone: "Physician's certificate? Can you get a doctor's certificate? Really?"

A medical certificate is necessary for students to ask for sick leave from the school. Basically, a medical certificate is equivalent to three days of vacation. If there is no medical certificate and you insist on asking for sick leave, then wait for the university to contact the student's parents.

"I thought the graduation ceremony was coming soon. Maybe your association would like to have a long carnival party before some members graduate and leave school. As for the question of authenticity, I guarantee that it is of course true. Sir, you can verify it after you get it. Then pay." Tommy Hawke showed a decent smile to the young man and said.

The young man seemed to have no intention of inviting Tommy Hawk in for a chat. He nodded: "Wait here, I'll go inside to discuss it."

"Well, a warm reminder, the minimum purchase price is ten tickets, and each ticket is thirty dollars." Tommy Hawke added to the young man who turned around and walked inside.

He is not worried that the price of thirty yuan a piece will scare away customers. You must know that although these Virginia white trash are discriminated against by northerners, many northerners are actually quite jealous in their hearts. In front of them, these white trash who come to college are at home. Most of them have large farmers and vineyards covering dozens of hectares to grow tobacco or peanuts, and they may even hold shares that are compensated for the land occupied by local coal mining companies for mining coal mines.

Don't look at these white trash who are sloppy all day long, behave vulgarly and wildly, they may be richer than many families in northern states who look glamorous, and they can pay their college tuition in full without loans, and then take out extra money every year Those who pay a few hundred dollars in membership fees to join the fraternity are among the best.

Why does God favor you, a Virginia fool? This popular saying among people in northern America is basically equivalent to the Chinese saying that the other person is stupid and rich.

Thirty dollars for a three-day vacation, an average of ten dollars a day, is not expensive for wealthy fraternity members, and things are rare. Tommy Hawke is sure that these guys are in Providence and even the entire Rhode Island, if you are not really sick, will never get a real doctor's certificate. The reason why it is so strict is because of the outbreak of AIDS in New York State. Americans have not yet understood its infection mechanism, so they can only strengthen medical treatment. manage.

Soon, another companion with short brown hair followed the young man to the door. He looked Tommy Hawke up and down:

"Boy, are you a student of our school?"

Tommy shook his head slightly: "I'm a salesman, from Rhode Island Community College."

"Is that the school that only local idiots with hopelessly bad grades go to?" The young man curled his lips disdainfully, but then added to Tommy Hawke: "Sorry, I didn't mean to scold you, can you?" The thought of selling products shows that you finally learned something in college and are not stupid."

"So..." Tommy Hawk spread his hands: "Both of you, do you need anything? I can provide a doctor's certificate and prescription drugs. They will be delivered as soon as the afternoon. Cash on delivery."

"What's the price of Adderall and Quaalude?" The short-haired young man, obviously the leader of the fraternity, asked about the prices of the two prescription drugs.

Tommy opened his mouth and gave the price: "The price is the same, fifty cents a piece, starting at fifty cents."

"A bottle of Adderall with 45 pills in the drugstore only costs five dollars." The short-haired young man frowned and stared at Tommy.

Tommy said in a calm tone: "If you can buy it from any pharmacy in Rhode Island without a doctor's prescription, and you won't ask me about the price, believe me, if you want to bypass doctors and pharmacies, It is not easy to get a large amount of prescription drugs. I think this is not the first time that you have bypassed pharmacies and doctors to buy prescription drugs. The price should be clearer than mine. This is a reasonable price. Since doctors in Rhode Island are required to be sworn in, , it is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain prescription drugs privately.”

"If you can make it cheaper, I will consider getting goods from you for a long time. You should also know that the fraternity often holds parties and the demand is great." The young man thought for a while and said to Tommy: "We are indeed planning a graduation ceremony. I’m going to have a big party in front of you, and if the price is reasonable, I can purchase all the prescription drugs and drinks needed for the big party from you. That’s a big deal, kid.”

"There is an old saying in Virginia that trust begins with obeying the rules." Tommy Hawk smiled and said a proverb that white people in Virginia have often talked about since the slave trade: "I deeply believe that discounts often It will only happen after we abide by the rules. The price will not change this time, but if you need it during the big party, I think there will be a discount that will satisfy you."

The young man stared at Tommy for a few seconds and laughed: "I like you, kid! I like you! That's how it should be! This is a trustworthy salesman! Tim Kane, North American brother Vice President of the Johnson-Weeden College Chapter.”

"You two can call me Carlo, Carlo Leon, so what can I do for you?" Tommy also laughed.

"I think we need twenty doctor's certificates, a hundred Adderall pills, and a hundred Quaalude pills for the time being this time." The young man discussed with his companions in a low voice, and then said to Tommy.

Tommy nodded: "No problem. Please provide me with twenty names and basic information for issuing medical certificates. By the way, I can borrow the driver's licenses of at least six of you."

"Of course...boy, you seem to be much more reliable. There was an idiot before who didn't even ask his name and told me that he could get a medical certificate. It turned out that he was a liar." The young man was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and said Inviting his companions to go in and get relevant information, he said to Tommy himself.

Tommy took out cigarettes, handed one to the young man, and lit it for him:

"There is a difference between a salesman and a fraudster. I am doing business, not committing a crime."

"If you can get good goods, boy, you will be the most trusted salesman of our brotherhood in the future." The young man took a puff of the cigarette and said with a hearty smile: "You should know what I mean, good goods."

Tommy Hawke smiled modestly, took the paper with names written on it and several driver's licenses from his companion, bowed slightly towards the two of them, turned and left:

"The Bible says that whoever believes in me will receive forgiveness of sins, become a great saint, and share the inheritance. Therefore, you two, I will keep your faith and God will bear witness."
