The Hopfather Speaks — for the record, and against his lawyer's advice
The Hopfather Speaks
The swamp doesn't remember what I did. It remembers what I said while I was doing it. Here's the whole book of it — every line I've dropped that a reporter wrote down and a prosecutor read back to me. Steal one. Say it like you mean it. That's how a swamp gets a legend. A work of parody.
Snitches get sewers.
The first thing every new frog on the payroll learns, and the last thing three of them ever said.
Yeah, I did it. What of it?
My answer to every count on the sheet. The stenographer stopped writing 'the defendant declined to comment' about halfway through.
I don't launder money. I give it a bath and a fresh name.
For the jury, who kept using the ugly word for a beautiful process.
A clean record just means you weren't ambitious yet.
Advice to a young toad who bragged he'd never been booked. He's been booked now. You're welcome.
I've got a relation across the water who pays his taxes on time. We don't speak.
The only apology you will ever get out of me — and it isn't one.
Loyalty in my swamp runs exactly one direction. Down.
Etched over the door of the storm-drain casino. Nobody's asked for a raise since.
I never stole a thing. I relocated it somewhere it appreciated me.
Sworn testimony, later struck from the record for being 'too smug to enter as evidence.'
They put a bounty on my head. So I bought the bounty. Now I hunt myself for the payout.
The WANTED poster is technically my most profitable holding. Print it. I get a cut either way.
My tongue is faster than your lawyer and cheaper than your judge.
Said to the judge. The judge, to his credit, laughed. To his discredit, he was already on the payroll.
Rules are just crimes nobody's been brave enough to commit twice.
The closest thing the swamp has to a founding document.
I didn't climb to the top of the pond. The pond sank down to meet me.
On the subject of 'how it all started.' The origin is messier. The line is better.
Everybody in Croaktown ends up with a file. The lucky ones end up in mine.
The recruitment pitch, the threat, and the compliment — all one sentence. Efficiency is a virtue down here.
Every line above was allegedly said by a frog who is not real, about crimes that did not happen, in a swamp you cannot find on a map. Quote him freely — he'd want nothing less. A work of parody.

Lost? Good — a frog who can't be found can't be served. Every trail on this map is a work of parody; follow at your own risk.
