Career Of Evil

"Sonny boy, before I came to town, nobody feared time. Not even the elders on their deathbeds looked at their emptying hourglass quite like how everyone who owed me looked at every clock. Punctuality is everything, especially when delivering consequences. They feared my name, even if it's on every check they cut. When those clocks hit the times they signed off on and I didn't get my due. Well, it ain't just a river of water that runs through town, my boy. Don't look at me like that. I'm building a future where you can send your kids to college and buy mansions. When I'm done, you can call me what you want, but you can't call me lazy or stupid. The ones you can...those are the ones you should thank for giving me good business. Who knows, maybe you'll grow up and harvest that same field."
