ME (Mr. Amlan Satan): Moved from Algiers; immigrant-Catholic; moved from Boston-town to Churchill-Downs area ahead of my upstart-racer company for Derby reading (Arklow); seek 'wage' with Baron Ion for diamonds-insurance social media market to perfect grifter consciousness; been a grifter; recount the lessons from mother (Nina) in Algeria; never lose your hand lest you think you're showing for a dark game of grifter-corners, even in Kentucky (American Homeland).

BARON ION: Yes, me thinks this Derby-upstart company for hyperbole (Arklow) has Mr. Satan (Amlan?) poised as a natural diamonds-market social media PR-partner for my treasure-islands and black market savvy; and Esmerelda (my Kentucky whiskey-waitress) seems to take a shine to him; they want me to invest in Arklow together with them; Amlan wants to highlight why Ion-co. stones for Churchill-Downs flowery has a 'mark' for the cleats of capitalism race end zones (Facebook-like).

ESMERELDA: You want me to fly-away with you to Brussels (now?).

AMLAN SATAN: It's what my mom (Nina) would paint as grifter-sanity.

ESMERELDA: You're like Artful Dodger...uncertain.

AMLAN SATAN: What's to doubt...you prefer a life of an Ion-maidservant, Ezzy?
ESMERELDA: First, we're to showcase his jewelry watch on social media.

AMLAN SATAN: With you as model, me as salesman, and me hyping Arklow-win.

ESMERELDA: To draw (Interpol-relation?) eyes into Ion's black market hand-axes.

AMLAN SATAN: We make-off like heroes with commission and open a waffle-store.

ESMERELDA: Brussels sprout.

AMLAN SATAN: Selfie-like (certainly).

Did Amlan and Ezzy make it to Belgium post-heroics as grifters of Earth? They certainly did, and that bad-baron simply thought all the 'leviathan' chatter of examination-eye for Churchill-Downs created by a social media 'stir' about investor-company hand-axes in diamonds-hyperbole was the mark of some rival company or insider-game not worth any potential 'eco' field goals. Amlan Satan, our Artful Dodger, a natural grifter 'groomed' by his mother (Nina) in Algiers, made a Selfie-record image (for all!).

Amlan opened a Brussels waffles-venture (Checkers), and Esmerelda ('Ezzy') became an art-museum curator, and her museum featured a piece hanging to showcase her memoirs of life in the West (American Homeland) as ex-maidservant (waitress) of the Ion-co. and now an art-eye messenger of capitalism's more fruity arms. Had she stayed in Kentucky, she'd certainly have become a natural dark statistic of American football (wow).

Ezzy had prepared a very nice inventive curry-in-toast dish for Saint Patrick's Day for Mr. Amlan Satan, our once Artful Dodger, a natural grifter of Earth; it prompted our prince antihero of capitalism's arms to think more heartily (and with acquired taste!) why life as a grifter afforded photo-synthesis for the complexity and 'troubles' of Western human/social bread (for all!).
