Monkey in the Middle (2008)
“Captain Champliss is all sympathy, from his watery black eyes to the palms of his extended hands. At appropriate moments, he nods, cocks his head, draws long theatrical breaths.
Rumor has it that Champliss is gay, but Epstein’s not buying. Champliss is married with four children. But then again, Champliss does habitually stand with a cocked hip and his movements have a languid, feminine aspect. It’s undeniable. And his pursed mouth seems perpetually disapproving. He might be a fashion designer ...offended by the sudden appearance of a grimy, skid row drunk. Oh God, what next?
Bob Kasman wears a beautifully tailored suit, an overly starched white-on-white shirt and a lavender tie. The cuffs of his trousers fall exactly to the tops of his shoes. To Epstein, in his tweed jacket and rumpled Dockers, Kasman seems fabricated, as if somebody started with the idea of a big-time businessman, then designed a human to fit the image. Every strand of the man’s graying hair is in place.
‘Can I be honest with you, Captain?’ Kasman rushes ahead before Champliss can unwrap his pursed lips.MoreLess
