The scene

A captive is ordered to spell “Punxsutawney” with a gun in his mouth. Incorrect attempts are punished physically until the threatener knocks out teeth with the weapon and makes a joke about whether teeth count as part of the head. The section closes on the grotesquely cheerful line “Jesus Christ I Love What I Do For a Living.”

Register switch

The jump matters as much as the scene. A publication that has just argued that characters may be renamed by the reader suddenly produces bodily consequence that cannot be renamed away. The title converts torture into corporate lifestyle copy.
