Bedazzled Page #5

but combined as well with this

almost preternatural strength.

Doesn't it make you sad to see

animals caged up like this?

Well, in a way, but, uh...

quite honestly, they're really

no worse off than most of us.

How do you mean?

Well, metaphorically speaking...

and in a very real sense...

society creates its own cages.

You know, cages of the mind.

Yes. Yes.

A curious kind of

cerebral captivity.

Buy a flower, madam?

Oh! Um, what's it for?

Depraved criminals.

You see, civilization...

has had the effect of...

inhibiting our deepest...

natural animal instincts, you see.

Mmm.

The conventions of an

ordered society...

have made us lose what Freud calls

our urmenschgefuhnaturlichkeit.

Well, it's a bit of a

mouthful, isn't it?

Must have been a marvelous man.

Oh, yes. One of the seminal forces.

Um, as Rousseau said...

we must learn to unlearn...

because only by unlearning

can we really learn to be.

Your ideas are so exciting!

Oh!

What a...

fabulous room!

It's marvelous!

Do you like it?

Oh, I love it.

It's so right.

I mean, it's you!

The moment I walked in,

everything about it says Stanley.

Well...

This room is you.

It's a bit untidy, bit of a mess...

but we bachelors have to fend

for ourselves, you know.

Brahms! I can't believe it!

You too?

Mmm.

Ohh.

Absolutely adore him.

Mmm.

He has a...

virile romanticism that

I find irresistible.

Oh, Brahms is just so fantastic!

Whenever I feel tense or anything...

I put him on, just sprawl on the

carpet and let him flow all over me.

- Would you like a little

taste of him now then?

- Please!

Not that I'm tense or anything.

It's just that it would

make me even less tense.

Mm-hmm.

Mmm!

Go on.

Lie down.

Oh, uh, I didn't mean...

Whew!

Let it happen.

Oh.

Mmm.

I love the way he brings

the flute in there.

That is a French horn, actually.

Oh. How silly of me.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Goodness gracious.

The French horn can sound

incredibly like a flute, you know.

In fact, not many people notice...

the flute-like qualities

of a French horn.

It's so sensual and evocative.

Mm-hmm.

One can almost see the trees...

and the sunlight dappling through.

And a little brook.

Mmm.

And what's that?

A powerful, young stag...

darts into the clearing...

raises his antlers...

and edges closer to his doe.

Oh, that record was

new this morning.

Where did you get

that fantastic thing?

It is nice, isn't it?

Oh, it's beautiful.

Mmm. I got it off a stall, actually.

Just saw it there

and had to have it.

I'm rather like that, you know.

I see something I want...

and that's it, boy-o.

Have to have it.

Me too.

Yes, you too.

Mmm.
