"The important thing is don't act like you robbed a bank.
Act like you have places to go and people to see.
Act like you love the police.
Act like you never did drugs.
Act like you love America so much it's retarded.
But don't act like you robbed a bank.
And don't run.
The important thing is don't run."
--from CHERRY (2018) by Nico Walker
