It seems that Algren provides Graham with a overly descriptive illustration of hos to take a scalp... after which, Graham is pleased to be off.
ALGREN
How soon can you translate those
books?
GRAHAM
(recovering)
Right away. I'm delighted you're
taking such interest in the
Samurai.
ALGREN
I don't give a damn about the
Samurai. I want to know my enemy.
GRAHAM
I shall not sleep until it is done.
(stands; woozy)
Ah, sake...
GANT
(after Graham leaves)
You'll be all right?
ALGREN
Leave the bottle.
