[Randall Flagg visits Lloyd in his prison cell.]
Can you let me outta here, mister? I'll do anything you want.
You poor guy. You look like ka-ka! [giggles] Tell me something, Lloyd—
How do you know my name?
Lucky guess. How'd you stay alive so long?
I saw it coming down, and I saved up some food, that's how.
[Flagg points to Lloyd's cot, and the mattress pulls itself up, revealing a partially-eaten rat.]
Brer Rat, how'd he taste?
[snivelling] Poke should be here, not me! Everything was Poke's idea!
And you got stuck with nothin' to eat but Rat Tartar.
. . .
Oh! I never even introduced myself, did I? Pleased to meet you, Lloyd. Hope you guess my name.
Huh?
Oh, uh… nothing. Just a little classical reference.
⇒ "Pleased to meet you / Hope you guess my name" are two lines from the chorus of The Rolling Stones' song "Sympathy for the Devil".
