The chapter opens with a quote from the Book of Job, in which Job warns his readers not to judge people based on their outward appearance, but on their inner character. Job tells the reader that he is not afraid of the "face of man" and that he will hear what he has to say. The chapter ends with a soliloquy from Job in which he tells his readers that he himself is much more real than they will ever know. He tells them that he has a family, two kids, and a wife. He says that he cannot abide sports fans, and that the subject of military reform is to begin. He promises to meet him at the car and discuss the matter "like men chocolate." He tells Job that his vendetta is beyond his understanding, and he will meet him back at the farm with a report in 24 hours.
