"It's easy for me to turn one down."	3
The surprising thing is that I was.	3
"Good.	1
My last show --"	3
" --was glorious!"	1
Tasha said.	3
" --was kindly received,"	1
" --was kindly received," he said.	1
"Oh?"	2
I hoped no one would bring up my last three plays.	0
No more urchins, dopers, vagrants, or whores.	3
He spoke quickly, prepared to be rejected.	2
"Would you permit me to do one of you?	1
I would pay --"	0
"Never,"	3
"Never," I said.	2
"Ah."	0
He shrugged lightly.	0
"Nardo!"	2
"It's an honor --"	1
"Of course," I said.	3
"That's why I cannot take payment."	3
"Oh?	0
Oh!	2
Thank you!"	1
Malaquez turned to Tasha.	1
"And you as well?	1
Perhaps the two of you together?"	2
Her eyes became circles at the idea of being, as she undoubtedly thought it, immortalized by Emil Malaquez.	1
There's only one city: called Nuevo Acapulco in La Enciclopedia del Empirio de la Humanidad, it's N'apulco to the locals.	1
Catching herself, she said casually, "Oh..." And then she smiled, laughed loudly at herself in the way that always made me think how much I loved her, and said, "My God, yes, yes, yes!"	2
"Oh..."	0
"My God, yes, yes, yes!"	2
For a perfect moment, Emil and Tasha and I were one entity, laughing until our lungs hurt.	1
This is torture.	2
I had not considered that I might not write to learn, but to punish myself.	2
Let me abuse the playwright and dismiss the penultimate scene in a few sentences: After giving Emil full rights to a sculpture of Tasha and me, we had a good dinner of curried clam chowder, lobsters boiled on Terra and unstopped still steaming on N'Apulco, and cinnamon custard for desert.	0

She had studied it in school, so she thought herself as an expert.	1
I once had a neighbor who played it constantly, loudly, and badly, so I thought I knew it better.	0
So, I think, did she.	3
The subject shifted from music to Tasha's obsession with fame, undoubtedly by a leap that I made.	1
She had no choice but to follow.	0
(I do not remember any of this well, just now, nor do I care to.	0
The N'apulcans are mostly emigrants from Polaris II; the only difference between them and their Carribbean ancestors is that the ancestors fleeced NorAm tourists.	0
Those who are truly curious may look at the last act of "Captured Moments."	1
Malaquez glanced away, embarrassed.	2
"I will."	1
She said, "I feel sorry for you, Nardo.	2
"I feel sorry for you, Nardo.	2
I'll see Emil home."	3
"Yes,"	1
"Yes," I said, "Do that," and did not care what she did, or why.	2
"Do that,"	3
Emil asked, "You're all right?"	2
"You're all right?"	2
I muttered something he must have interpreted as assent.	0
They both walked up to Emil's home while I watched the scarlet moonlight ripple on distant waves.	0
Disgusted with Tasha but more disgusted with myself, I finally realized she would not return that night and went into The Sleeping Flamingo to drink myself to sleep.	2
She had not come home when I woke in mid-morning.	2
I waited, and drank a glass of MorningAfter and three cups of coffee, and wondered whether our affair could survive the events of the night, and whether I wanted it to.	2
Perhaps I should have invited Emil to stay, but even then I knew that sex was not the problem between Tasha and me.	2
The problem was that I have trouble distinguishing between compromise and capitulation, between symbols and substance.	0
Shortly before noon, I climbed the sandy path to Dream's End, rehearsing my apology, slowing only to pluck burrs from between my sandals and my feet.	2
Malaquez answered the door in blood-red pajamas and a black silk robe.	3
Sixty years ago in a similar situation, I had broken my knuckles on someone's face.	2
I merely said, "Is Tasha here?"	2
"Is Tasha here?"	0
Now the N'apulcans profit from their Hispanic siblings.	2
He pursed his lips slightly, then nodded.	3
"Yes."	0
"May I see her?"	2
When he hesitated, I said, "Last night was my fault.	3
"Last night was my fault.	2
I hold it against neither of you.	0
Let me talk to her."	3
"I --"	1
"Please."	1
He looked me and at last said, "Very well."	1
"Very well."	1
We walked through his house in silence.	0
If that was Malaquez's work, it was a very minor effort.	3
But then, I was in no mood to consider art.	3
That was easier than despising myself.	3
I don't mean to sound cynical.	3
He paused before a bedroom door.	0
"I should go in first.	3
I smiled.	1
"What would it hurt?"	3
"True.	3
Go ahead.	3
Tell her..."	2
I shrugged.	3
"Tell her I love her."	1
I suppose I wish to show that I'm still capable of a certain authorial distance, a semblance of dispassionate observation.	3
He studied me, then said, "I'm sorry things happened this way, Bernardo.	2
"I'm sorry things happened this way, Bernardo.	2
"I'm very good at making things happen this way.	3
But if Tasha will forgive me --"	2
He nodded, repeated, "I am sorry," then slipped into the next room.	2
