Candy Page #2

Synopsis: This story is a narration from an Australian man who falls in love with two kinds of Candy: a woman of the same name and heroin. The narrator changes from a smart-aleck to someone trying to find a vein to inject, while Candy changes from an actress, call girl, streetwalker, and then a madwoman. Starting in Sydney, the two eventually end up in Melbourne to go clean, but they fail. This leads them to turn to finding money and heroin, while other posessions and attachments become unimportant.

Here is the deepest secret,

that nobody knows / i.

Here is the root of the root,

and the bud of the bud.../ i

...and the sky of the sky,

in the tree called life / i.

which grows higher than soul

can hope, or mind can hide / i.

..and this is the one that is

keeping the stars apart. / i

I carry your heart.

I carry it in my heart.

Will you marry me?

We will be man and wife.

One flesh.

sports journalist.

Well, Dan, you're laughing mate!

Financing this love

as a married couple.

You get the first one under your belt,

you pour everything into it.

After that, the minimum equity is

what you're after.

You get into as much debt

as possible.

It gives you some focus.

I'm not just talking about

real estate.

I'm talking about a philosophy.

Would you mind...

if you excuse me for a minute?

No! Sure!!

Where are you and Dan going

for the honeymoon?

Yeah, thanks!

You're so tight!

but, it's mom and dad...

Jenny, could you come and help
