"[The city's streets] tell this tale of its foundation: men of various nations had an identical dream. They saw a woman running at night through an unknown city; she was seen from behind, with long hair, and she was naked. They dreamed of pursuing her. As they twisted and turned, each of them lost her. After the dream they set out in search of that city; they never found it, but they found one another; they decided to build a city like the one in the dream. In laying out the streets, each followed the course of his pursuit; at the spot where they had lost the fugitive's trail, they arranged spaces and walls differently from the dream, so she would be unable to escape again."[Italo Calvino.]

When George stops by Jerry’s apartment one day with a bucket of chicken and grease stains all up and down his tank top, Jerry is immediately disgusted. “Blech!” he cries from behind his sunglasses. He tries to give George a makeover, but nothing, nothing at all, can help the ugly George. Depressed by this revelation, George wears nothing but trash bags, but continues roaming the city with buckets of fried chicken. Jerry deems this “an improvement.”
