A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III Page #2

---

It's personally very gratifying.

I don't know what else to say

except thank you.

Thank you, Charlie!

- Hey. Am I glad to see you.

- Hey, you look great.

I thought you were gonna be pale white

with drool and a paralyzed claw hand.

Talking out of the side of your mouth.

- I didn't think you were gonna make it.

- Oh, thanks.

I'm double-parked

in an ambulance zone.

It shouldn't be a problem.

It is really good to see you.

Thanks for coming by.

- Can I ask you something?

- Of course, man. Anything.

Do I have tits?

Do you have tits? What are you

talking about? Of course not.

She said I was getting tits.

Are you being honest?

- Heh.

- I gotta get in shape, man.

I'm so busted up.

Oh, zing.

Rewind. Did you guys break up?

What did you do?

She didn't want to be in

the drawer with the other girls.

Well, obviously. I totally agree with that.

I have no idea

what we're talking about.

She found some old stupid snapshots.

Of your ex-girlfriends?

Oh, my God, man, that's beginner stuff.

That's a dumb mistake.

Here's what we tell her. The photos...

She refuses to talk to me.

I'm so mad. I just hate her.

And then all of a sudden I'll remember

something that makes me love her again.

You know, an image will flash

into my mind. Like Halloween.

Right.

I remember I was Carmen Miranda

She was an Indian.

Tell me everything. Favorite food. Color.

Where you grew up. First car.

Pizza. Um, blue. Kansas City.

- More.

- More?

In high school

I went to the state finals.

The only I was good at was running

and then I started smoking pot.

- Heh, that's great. That's perfect.

- Ha, ha.

Come on. Dig deeper. More.

When I was 7 and my toothbrush

would get old and worn out...

I would make a little hole in the ground

and I would bury it behind my house.

I've been dreaming about you

my whole life.

Heh, I'm just a small town girl.

But you, you're the intriguing one.

- Did you always do art as a kid?

- Well, I always liked to draw.

My mom encouraged me.

And then I started taking pictures.

I did an album cover for Kirby.

And before I knew it, the thing just

took off, turned into a whole business.

I thought I was going to do my paintings,

but I did advertising instead.

Welcome to Swan Design.

- Heh.

- This is where it all happens.

That's Lance, this is Hicks.

Come back here.

I want to show you where I work.

Right this way.

Wow!

You're lucky.

I'm still trying to figure out

what I want to do.

- Is acting stupid?

- No, you should give it a shot.

So did you always

know what you wanted to do?

I've always been a daydreamer.

I know that much.

Like when I was young,

say, on the bus...

I'd talk to myself in my head
