The Zero Years Page #2

Nope. I know those. They're

these blond little kids...

with little white coats.

- Little black coats.

- Little black coats, yes.

They wear little white coats

in the summer,

little black coats

in the winter.

And they have little

blond heads.

- What are you doing?

- I'm pissing myself.

- Don't leave me when I pee!

- You're squirting me...

You can't leave!

Hold me, like this.

What's the favor?

It's that you go to the

theater in my place.

Only for tonight.

Fine but that eye thing you do

when you come. Can't do that.

I don't come. I fake it.

It's an act.

Yeah, but sometimes...

Sometimes, when I'm bored,

I come.

Okay, but I can't do

the eye thing.

Especially the part

where you...

What eye thing?

The way you cross them a

little, sort of like this.

And then the lips.

My fingers keep going

up my nostrils.

I'll screw it up.

We'll practice till

you get it right.

And tomorrow we'll go

out shopping.

Really?

I want to buy baby clothes. I

saw some nice ones in a shop.

Can I tell you a secret?

Tell me a secret.

I'm stealing some of the money

they give us...

and hide it under the sink.

For my baby clothes.

Something like this?

That's ridiculous.

Pay attention.

Wait.

Again...

Fine but you cross only one

eye. How does that work?

I can't.

Fill it up a bit.

Yeah, fill it up a bit.

What do you mean

"fill it up?"?

Pretend you're coming,

fool, like this.

Is it that hard? Fill it up.

Fine, I'll fill it up.

Good, now add the eyes.

Right?

We should try something

else, huh?

- It didn't work did it?

- No.

Cross only one eye...

but both of mine go.

- The lips?

- What about the lips?

You can't tell up from down

and you want lips?

Great, let's go.

Oh, that's how it starts!

Let's go.

Now... step by step.

One:
Forehead. Two: Left hand

goes to the mouth.

Three:
Fingers slowly

enter the mouth,

wet tongue.

Gently, gently.

Gently.

Gently.

The water is here!

The water is here!

- Go to the bathroom...

- Bathroom...

Yes and fill up the tub

with water.

Water...

- The doorbell...

- Who is it?

What are you asking me for?

She's right.

Why don't you tell us...

You're the one on the

binoculars all day.

I saw no one, except those

two across the street.

Doorbell...

Come on!

I'm gonna answer that.

It could be the mailman...

My paper.

A mailman at this hour?

Stall them...

Binoculars...

- Stop it!

- No, I won't.

They came to get me, didn't

they? Why should I stop?

Inspection, a woman in black

asked for you.

Listen, tell her I'm okay

and with the customers too.

I mean now. I have my own

customers! Okay?

Relax... everything's fine.

Everything's fine and those

people downstairs left.
