"As soon as I got to Borstal they made me a long-distance  cross-country runner. I suppose they thought I was  just the build for it because I was long and skinny for my age (and still am) and in any case I didn't mind it much, to  tell you the truth, because running had always been made much of in our family, especially running away from the  police. I've always been a good runner, quick and with a big stride as well, the only trouble being that no matter how fast  I run, and I did a very fair lick even though I do say so myself,  it didn't stop me getting caught by the cops after that bakery  job."

"...ce parfait crétin est arrivé avec mon rasoir et un cutter qu'il avait trouvé dans la cuisine. Puis il a déclaré qu'il devait nous emmener avec lui, car nous étions des terroristes."
