Dead Man: Locomotion

LOCOMOTION

Nobody: "Rise now, and drive your cart and plow over the bones of dead."

(quoting from William Blake's Proverbs of Hell)

PHYSICAL MOTION

(On the train, Blake explains why he is traveling)

Blake: "Well, I received a letter from the people at Dickinson's Metal Works assuring me of a job."

Fireman: "Is that so?"

Blake: "Yes. I'm an accountant."

Fireman: "I wouldn't know because I don't read, but I'll tell you one thing for sure: I wouldn't trust no words written down on no piece of paper especially from no Dickinson out in the town of Machine. You're just as likely to find your own grave."
