Jack. It’s no fault of yours that this town belongs to lapsing moralists, their imaginations constrained within white-picket banality.

None of them, Puppy, are worthy of what you are.

None of them have seen what you are, or else they never could have given you over.

This town is rotten with myopia.

Jack. I don’t believe there’s a circumstance in the world that could take my interest from you. (I don’t take to surface shine. I don’t pursue what lacks lasting potential.) And as for any potential or hypothetical ‘shittiness’ on your part— Don’t forget, Puppy, that I’ve seen some measure of the brat that you can be. I’ve sensed flashes of your fangs. And as it happens, I believe both rather suit you.

Or in any case, it suits me. I don’t trust a person who won’t let loose at least a little trouble, hm?

I speak all of this because I know my own mind, and my own habits. But if, Jack, I chase too far ahead of myself, if I chase too far ahead of you, know that I am a man possessed of infinite patience, even in regards to what I most would like.

Certainly, I can wait seven days, or fourteen days, or three times as many for the asking of that collar.

Between this day and then, I have plenty of ways to show you that you're mine.
