Slaughterhouse-Five Chapter 8, Section 13

By Kurt Vonnegut

Chapter 8, Section 13

Maggie asks if what Kilgore described really happened.
Maggie is not bright, but she's really hot.
Trout says of course it happened: he can't be guilty of false advertising—it's against the rules. (He's lying, of course.)
Trout claims that he puts everything that happens to him into his books. And, he adds, he's not the only judge: there's also God, who will decide whether or not Maggie will burn in hell forever.
Trout starts to laugh while Maggie looks terrified.
