Realizing that some day, if fate allows, he will be one himself, he is particularly fascinated by old men. He imagines their age to be a beautiful thing and recognizes how these men were once young and vibrant and attractive, as he is now. Although Lake has a girlfriend his own age, named Desiree, he wonders sometimes if his fixation on old men is unnatural and unhealthy - perhaps even sexual. When his mother, who is a nurse, takes on a management job at an old folks home, Lake jumps at her offer of a summer job as an orderly there. Gradually, Lake comes to discover that the old people in the institution are being given psychotropic drugs to keep them in a catatonic state.

-Excellent. I could really

use your help.

-Okay, cool.

The new Atwood? Get out!

She's on my list too.

Your list?

-Never mind.

-It's an advanced copy,

I thought you'd like it.

-I love it.

Um, Desiree, are you

busy on Friday night?

-Why? Do you want me

to pick up a shift?

-Um, no I um...

I'm asking you over for dinner.

Ah yeah.

Yeah, I'm free.

-Excellent. Great.

He's been moved to room 219.

His son called and had him

upgraded to a private room.

-His son?

Nobody told me?

-Right, next time we'll make

sure to consult you rst.

What's this game called again?

It seems pretty easy.

-Beginners always say that.

It's called Gin Rummy.

-Why is it called that?

-Apparently the game's inventor

had a preference for gin.

And it became known as Movie Star Gin

in the 30's, it was

the Hollywood elite past time between

takes on movies sets

with a quick game.

-That's really interesting.

-When you've been around as long

as I have my dear, you learn

a thing or two about even

the most trivial of pursuits.

Gin.

-Do you play poker?

-I've been known to win a hand

or two. We must play sometime.

-Are you ready for your

afternoon medication?

It's time.

-We are kind

in the middle of something.

-If you would just leave

them, I promise, I'll take

them in a little while.

-It's more effective

if you take them on schedule.

-Like the trains in Germany.

-Oh you devil.

-Excuse me.

Not again M. Abernati!

-Don't worry, I'll make

sure he takes them.

-You're sure?

Alright, but don't forget.

Give me these pills.

We wouldn't want you

to have an unfair advantage.

-There's a photo in that top drawer,

would you hand it

to me, please.

Look at him. So smooth like the

cactus liked off his whiskers.

And that's me.

I was in rather good

shape don't you think?

-I guess so.

I like the way you look now.

When medication are you on?

Anas Nin. There's a feminist you

don't want to f*** with.

She's on my list.

-What is this list you're

always talking about?

-Private joke.

Ouh! Alice Monroe. I love

Lives of Girls and Women.

Margaret Laurence, Jest of God.

-What can I say, I love

Canadian feminist writers.

-So, can I borrow these?

-To tell you the truth,

I have a thing about lending

my books, but you're welcome

to come over anytime you want

to read.

-Seriously.

Oh wow! SCUM Manifesto.

-First edition.

I'm impressed.

But...

Now, I might have to kill you.

-Seriously?

-I'm not kidding.

Your hair is nice.

-Thank you, so is yours.

This band sounds like

The Pixies. Hut the good part

of The Pixies, Kim Deal.

Kelley is hotter.

-They're both hot.

They're on my list.

Don't be anal.

I have to pee.

Don't forget to wash your hands.
