Dead Billy Page #2

from home for a while,

when I was a kid.

- Yeah, but you never

mentioned this Billy.

Who was he?

- Just this guy, a vet.

- From the Gulf?

- Vietnam.

- Jesus, how old was he?

And you lived with him?

Was it, was it a sexual thing?

- Roy...

- Come on, were you

f***ing the guy?

- What do you think?

I don't think I need

to apologize to you.

- Are you okay?

- Developing in

Germany, showing a frightening

new discovery at the

Kumps Nuclear Plant,

just days after the

earthquake in Poland

sent the reactor into

complete meltdown.

German officials have now

released data that shows

radiation levels around

Kunps have spiked

to levels much higher than

initial reports suggested.

Reports from both the German

environmental authorities,

and the UN health

organization, show that total

air release of iodine

131 and Cecil 137...

- Hey, look at me.

- Well, this is kinda f***ed up.

- There's nothing to

discourage the appetite

for divinity in

the heart of man.

That's Kabu, my dear.

- Lucian.

- Hmm?

Muse, I thought you were

staying with your mother.

- It's Tuesday, Daddy.

- Well then...

Well sit Muse, join us.

Would you like some coffee?

- I don't know, I

should get to school.

- Nonsense, sit.

Cali, this is Ashley,

she's my graduate student.

- Hey, sure.

I gotta get to class.

- Sit!

- Okay.

- Ashley, this is my

daughter Cali, my muse.

Ashley is quite the star in

our humble little bailiwick.

She's doing her thesis

on the age of reason,

very provocative stuff.

- I'm doing this third

way feminist view of it.

You know, breaking

down the relationship

between the mostly

male existentialist...

- I'm sorry but

this is bullshit.

- Cali.

- Not your thesis,

sorry, it sounds very,

you know, interesting,

or whatever, I gotta go.

- Cali, I'm afraid

you're being a child.

- Don't feel bad, I

know he's very charming.

- You buy it, or you

stop playing with it.

- You wouldn't like it, it's

all full of words and stuff.

- Made of Athens

air we part, give,

oh, give me back my heart.

It's Byron.

- Good for you,

you're a smart one.

This lad was known as

Nicholas the Galant,

making love in secret

was his talent.

That's Trosser.

So how does a useless

truant like you quote Byron,

what's your deal?

- Like you said,

I'm a smart one.

- Yeah, I can tell.

You know, I ain't your daddy,

but aren't you supposed

to be in school?

- I'll go when they

can teach me something

they haven't learned

in their ignominious

little community

college educations.

- Jesus Christ, how old are you?

- 18.

- Uh huh, what's your name?

- What do you care?

- What's your name?

- Cali, Calliope really, but

only my dad calls me that.
