他走出来，然后我们拍了他的照片。拍照的时候，他一直唠叨个没完。“你们太浪费闪光灯了。你们太浪费胶卷了。”然后，他又说：“对了，你们不许把照片登到封面上。”

    我们开始讨价还价。最后照片还是上了封面。我写了一篇沃尔玛的长篇报道，接下来差不多三年的时间里，我一直跟着他飞来飞去，坐车东奔西走，差不多免费跑遍了整个美国。

    He came out, and we took the picture. He complained the whole time. "You're wasting a lot of flashbulbs, you're wasting a lot of the film." And then he said, "Oh, and by the way, you can't put this picture on the cover."

    We negotiated. We got the cover. I wrote a long story about Wal-Mart, and then over the next three years or so, I was flying in planes with him and driving around and basically hitchhiking across America.
