De vierde Man Page #2

---

As you like.

You could also stay with me.

Depends on the number of questions.

If I can catch the train.

Exactly.

You always write in first person :

I this... I that...

Are you at all interested

in your fellow man?

I...

Fellow men are so vague.

A writer, like anyone, is involved

with only a few people.

Yet even them I can't encompass...

... and I project things into them

that don't exist. Next question.

You always call yourself

a Roman Catholic.

How can a sensible person in this day

of modern technology be a Catholic?

How can you be sensible

and not be a Catholic?

Catholic doesn't equate with stupid.

Being Catholic means

having imagination.

Scientific discoveries are

the product of imagination.

So all science is Catholic.

Next question.

Do you agree that every creative

artist is basically a bit disturbed?

The questioner wonders if

I'm a bit crazy?

Not me, I'm very normal.

My madness is limited to

reading the paper.

For when it says "boom"

I read "doom".

And for "flood" I read "blood"

and for "red"... "dead".

Is that crazy?

Just poor eyesight, that's all.

Next question.

That was the last question.

DONATE YOUR BLOOD

TO THE RED CROSS

SPI DER:

The sign's on the blink.

Has been for a while.

They're slow at fixing things

nowadays.

What is it?

I know nothing about perfume,

but this is sublime.

- It's my own brand.

- Delicious.

Life is great!

Come.

Look at the moon.

You can always see it

beautifully from here.

Not it.

- She.

- She?

Moon is feminine.

The moon is our mother.

She protects us, guards over us.

You really believe that, Gerard?

- Whiskey?

- Just a drop, with lots of water.

Nice.

Shall we sleep together tonight?

Of course, Gerard.

Well...

...you seem to have a thing

about my bra.

Take off the robe.

Lovely.

- You look a bit like...

- Like who?

The way you're standing there,

you resemble...

Resemble what?

A very beautiful boy.

A boy?

So slim and delicate.

Do you think?

And these?

They're not a boy's, are they?

No...

... but when I do this...

Then I'll have this.

Alright this way...

or will I lie down?

No, stay where you are.

He slipped out...

I guess I'm a bit awkward.

Come.

Aren't you married?

I was, it didn't work out.

Is this okay though?

It's like skating,

you never forget how.

...through Mary to Jesus...

What did you say just now?

That you're marvelous.

What's wrong?

Had a bad dream?

A nightmare.

What was it about?

I can't remember.

I was afraid.

Come here. No need to be afraid.

Come.

SPI DER:

Sphinx Beauty Salon.

Yes...

... if you come right now...

... it's a date.

Shall I do upstairs, Madam?

Forget about upstairs.

Do the bedroom next time around.
