"literally"
I suppose if Pynchon didn't use the word "literally" here, I'd just assume the Professor was feeling a little queasy in his tum-tum. But by using the word, I now know the Professor is on the verge of ralphing all over the Penthouse because he's just realized how evil the man he's doing business with is.
