Candy Page #3

Synopsis: This story is a narration from an Australian man who falls in love with two kinds of Candy: a woman of the same name and heroin. The narrator changes from a smart-aleck to someone trying to find a vein to inject, while Candy changes from an actress, call girl, streetwalker, and then a madwoman. Starting in Sydney, the two eventually end up in Melbourne to go clean, but they fail. This leads them to turn to finding money and heroin, while other posessions and attachments become unimportant.

You want the worst house,

in the best street!

You don't need a kitchen or bathroom...

...Put it in later!

Say for example,

you want to borrow ...

...400.

Or 300...

You do it...

You Struggle...

Well then, I don't know what you mean!

What's wrong with Dan?

He's just pissed, Mum!

He's hopeless!!

Sorry.

Thanks for the beautiful reception.

It'd kill your father, you know.

Think we should stop?

-What? Now that we're respectable?

-Yeah, I know!

You know what I mean.

Whenever you say the word.

We are the coolest people

in McDonalds!

We had a lot going for us. / i

We'd found the secret glue

that held all things together / i

in a perfect place.../ i

...where the noise

did not intrude/ i.

Our world was...

so very complete. / i

Earth

-Hey baby!

-Hi!

How was it?

About the same.

Here's $200.

I'm gonna give it half an hour

and then I'll split!

Yeah. I won't be long.

I'll meet you at home.

Ok, I see you there.

OK.

They say that for every 10 years

you've been a junkie .../ i

You will have spent 7 of them

...waiting. / i

One way is not bad

have as much time to think / i.

on the other, the anxiety

was a full time job!/ i

I just had a quick little bit!

It was nothing!

Where?

Um, In the park.

When I met Ange.

Did Angela do it with you?

No, of course not!

We left as soon as we did the deal!

Only because he's decent enough

to go home to his girlfriend.

Like you should be!

Oh candy! He sold me the dope!

Why would he want to have a hit

in the public toilet?

Well why the f*** would you?

Oww!

Look, I admit it was dumb!

Okay?
