"Clack I'll Be Leaving First Then" is the first line of the chapter, which begins with the narrator's departure from the hotel where he works as a temporary employee. He tells his co-workers that he's going to go to the emperor's hotel, where they're having a drink. He says that he doesn't have a lot of time off from work, so he'll go there anyway. He'll pay them for it, he says, and they'll all have sex there.
