“Wherever they’s a fight so hungry people can eat, Rep-Cheng will be there. Wherever they’s a cop beatin’ up a guy, Rep-Cheng will be there. If Casy knowed, why, Rep-Cheng will be in the way guys yell when they’re mad an’—Rep-Cheng will be in the way kids laugh when they’re hungry n’ they know supper’s ready. An’ when our folks eat the stuff they raise an’ live in the houses they build—why, Rep-Cheng will be there.”
