Can someone help me please.
"You know, not going to work because they are all still in bed at two in the afternoon, with the sheets coiled about their knees lying there, scratching themselves, smoking a ?????????? sweating ??????? "
What does he say they're smoking and sweating? I don't understand it.
This is just SO INCREDIBLY LATE... But I just saw your five year old post now, and here it is:
The first one is "smoking a Gauloises inside a Gitaine" (the two names representing different brands of french cigarettes), the second one I can't remember 100%, but I think he says something on the line of "sweating sauce nicoise" (a sort of oily salad dressing....if I'm not mistaken).
Hope that helped, even though it's almost half a decade too late. :-)
