Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ Our JOE in Europe, No. 1: "Deep Cover."
...The PRESIDENT (USA) "Timothy" -on "secure" Skype-inter-net-connection...with head of C.I.A., Dick Head, Langley-Virginia:
"U telling ME that our entire EURO operation to balance/eradicate the US-CHINESE DEBT now relies solely upon ONE man!?"
"Yes Sirree!"
"DON'T call me SIRREE!"
"Sorry; er, Sir!"
"WHO the hell is he!?"
"Delacroix, Sir. First name, Davide."
"We WORKING with the FRENCH!!!?" (Molto-exasperation)
"Holy Cow! -Oops! - No Sirree! He's from HOLLYWOOD."
"OUR MAN IN HOLLYWOOD? -do we need one?"
"Everyday, Sir. The last one converted and defected to Israel!"
"...That bad, eh?.. Was he a Catholic?"
"Ah ah! I actually don't have his personal file in front of me, but...?"
"And "our Man in Hollywood?""
"EUROPE, Sir: 'OUR MAN IN EUROPE'".
"HIM! -Is HE a Catholic?"
"We're not sure, Sir. Ev3en his personnel file is marked "Deep Cover", a legacy of the previous administration?..."
"So what do we KNOW about 'Our Man' upon which the whole world's financial situation rests (or rots)?"
"Well, Sir; he's VERY GOOD?"
"How? What?"
"He has single-handed RE-DEFINED the Espionage code; the whole frickin' language!!!"
"Enlighten me...?"
"...Mr President? This IS a secured 'Comm-line'?"
"Don't be STUPID. We're on Skype!"
"...Well? OUR MAN (Delacroix) sends an E-mail. He firstly rambles...sights of interest/the Leaning Tower of Pisa, women he's met; the name "FI-FI" crops up a lot, then - we acknowledge - he goes for the MEAT."
"I'm listening?"
"For example; in one Ultra-secret E-mail on AOL Chrome? -he says: "I got dem blues again!"
"Uh uh?"
"Then he EXPLICITLY requests a loan of TWENTY BUCKS!"
"Meaning?"
"Meaning?... Meaning! Meaning the Conservative faction in the UKRAINE is in position but they are under-financed!... U see?"
"I think so... And how does C.I.A. respond?"
"We send him 200,000 dollars (US) and stay on-line!"
"THAT seems appropriate..."
"There then," continues Dick H., "usually follows - as U understand, Mr President - DEEP COVER/ a considerable silence?..."
The PREZ: " Ya-know? I've passed up on 3 important Select-Committee hearings to hear this crap, but it's the funniest thing I've heard since the U.S. dollar hit bottom! -Continue!"
"YES-SIRREE!/Sir!" (pause) "...So 3 months go by. Delacroix (Our Man) is DEEP - U know what?... In our dealings with him he single-handed exposed - for OUR eyes only - the new FAKE Hitler Diaries, almost published by that German magazine: STERN."
"Stern? -Sounds foreign!"
"German magazine, like "TIME". We covertly finance it. Keeps the Krauts from invading their neighbors. It saves us a bunch in Military hardware."
"Ah ah! C.I.A. at work! -I'm impressed!"
"Indeed, Mr President. The "Gutenberg" affair exposure was totally Delacroix. He got drunk with him at the OLD SIMON in Freiburg!"
"In Freiburg?"
"Yes Sir!"
"But, Dick? You're NOT telling me anything about OUR MAN IN EUROPE/the DOLLAR crisis?"
Dick raps: "58, we think. White boy. Good Anglo-Saxon stock. Keeps a low profile. Wears other people's cast-offs (deep cover) and..."
"And?"
"Rumor has it he cocks a MEAN Indian/Pakistani Curry!.. Again: DEEP COVER. Throws the foes off the scent!"
"Anything else?"
"He claims 5to be a MUSICIAN - deep cover - again/the FI-FI thing?... CLEVER JOE... His new "intelligence includes total elucidation on SPOOK hot nests of which we - at C.I.A. -. were totally ignorant!"
"Goddamn, Dick WHERE!?"
"Portofino, Pisa and Piacenza!... The subversives are EVERYWHERE."
(Pause) ..The PREZ: "The DOLLAR thingy, Dick?"
"OK. Excuse me, Mr President? PING! PING! PING!"
"Wha?"
"Operation PING, we call it. GENERAL TSO... I'll spare U the details: 'Started up as a dishwasher in Shanghai then was rapidly elevated to a member of the Chinese - Commie - Select Committee, but being a PLAYER, still opts to front... Mr President, are U SURE this is a SECURED COMM?..."
"DICK!!!?"
"OK. His name - apparently - is GENERAL TSO, Mandarin class/spying on the West is his personal safari. He floats a dozen Chinese bar-take outs, loves his gig; come fall? -he's back in Beijing wearing a TUX/tuxedo!"
(pause)
The PREZ: "Our Man in Europe, Dick; eh? We only have one?"
"Actually, TWO, full time, since the Russkies gave up."
"GEN TSO?" -Prez.
"BIG STUFF." Dick Head: "Apparently, he's - pay attention, Mr President? - he's STILL LOOKING FOR THE FIRE EXIT, according to 'our man' Delacroix?"
"Meaning?"
"My CODE folks at Langley are presently deciphering...but we are inclined to interpret as: "The rain IN Spain falls mainly on the plain."
"DICCCKKK!!!???"
"General TSO is a 'Take-out?. He's OURS. He'll write off the USA-CHINESE debt. HELL!? Maybe later, he'll defect to Israel? We'll buy him a (motel) HOWARD-JOHNSON!"
"A little rash there, Dick? I can authorize nothing more than a MOTEL 6.!"
"Agreed."
(pause/convivial chat atmosphere now becomes semi-official:)
The PREZ (to Dick Head, C.I.A. chief:) "I will advise the appropriate Senate Committees to increase your funding. I'm impressed."
"..Thank U, Mr President."
"U guys in Langley hurtin'?"
"Yes Sir. Indeed. OUR MAN IN EUROPE just sent us a new - deep cover - E-mail (on Modzilla).."
"Sayin'?"
"I'm looking for the FIRE EXIT!!!"
"TAIWAN!?"
"We think so.
"...And..."
"AND!?"
"Can U lend me TWENTY BUCKS!!!"
