One of the things he's learned during his time in Duplicity: there are certain transgressions against the local system that can pass, just so long as you don't go around flaunting them too loudly.]

It might sound at first like a brag, but he's not bragging.] 'Cause for a lotta years I had to be. I wouldn't 've managed to eat--probably wouldn't be standing here talking to you now--if I wasn't.
