Toga Quote by Milorad Pavić
““RENDGENOSKOPIJA SNA Unapred se zakazuje na sedam dana. Vrsi se generalna proba. Takođe se traze najuspesniji snimci snova svih formata u boji i crno-beloj tehnici. Posebno se honorisu uspesno snimljena sećanja, koja dolaze u obzir za emitovanje u TV mrezama. Magnetoskopski snimci dečijih misli biće otkupljeni po posebno povoljnoj ceni i distribuirani kolekcionarima i zatvorenim video-sistemima. Razin se zbuni, oseti se kao da mu je nesto spralo s lica obrve, brkove i usi, htede da spusti ruku na kvaku, ali tada opazi da je ispod neverovatnog oglasa neko olovkom dopisao: Radnja u najmanju ruku zatvorena.””
