And for some reason, I'm seeing in my minds eye an intro to some strange movie.
The camera shows the scene before a moving figure. Rats and human rats shrink back before the oncoming presence. Doers of evil suddenly rethink their plans.
Ladies of the evening brazenly thrust out their chins and other accoutrements as the hidden figure proceeds past them.
A change of camera view, and we see a well-dressed gentleman emerge from a dingy alley. Confidently, he turns toward the brighter lights.
