Laurence Anyways Page #4

I need his forearms.

Everybody has forearms!

Mom?

Are you listening?

Damn it, it's important!

Can you still move the TV upstairs?

Do I put it on the floor?

Why do you react like that?

How do you want me to react?

I don't know,

you're not asking any questions...

You're not surprised.

I have no questions.

You throw something totally nuts at me.

So you're nuts. Fine.

But questions?

None.

I don't ask any, so don't ask me.

You want to tell me how to react?

Surprised?

Why?

You always dressed up, as a kid.

I thought you'd end up gay.

When your father

goes for his check-ups...

he stops at peep shows.

Yeah.

Every time.

That's why he doesn't want me along.

Am I surprised?

Am I surprised we left Europe?

Or that the roof is leaking?

Do I look surprised to you?

I'm not surprised!

Never let yourself be surprised. Ever.

I'm sure it's very serious,

and I'm taking you very seriously.

But should I torture myself

and think I'm a bad mother?

I don't care!

Why should I?

And your father?

What father?

Personally, I don't care.

You and I never bonded.

But if you are in trouble,

in any way,

deal with it.

Our door will be closed.

- Your father won't accept you.

- Did he ever?

So...

will you still love me?

Are you becoming a woman or an idiot?

Let's smoke.

Hey, it's me.

I'm coming back home tonight.

I'm coming back and...

Let's do this together.

Well?

What?

What the f***?

You're still wearing your old clothes!

Calm down!

What went wrong?

Ever heard girls wash their hands?

They started blabbering about...

hunks, Casanovas

and whatever jock they banged.

The grungy guy, the old guy,

the chemistry teacher

vs. the film teacher...

At some point...

and I'm not bragging,

they talked about me.

They said I was cute.

One even called me sexy

Did you get their phone numbers?

No! Listen to me.

I was struggling with my panties!

F***!

Can you picture it?

A guy in the stall

squeezing into a dress?

I could see their faces drop.

And then the silence!

The silence after.

It's cool.

You'll try again next Monday.

Mayday!

You'll do it another day.

You've been on hold for 30 years.

Who cares?

Come on!

Major Tom?

Still alive?

A**hole!

Was the transition...

an overnight thing?

Or a slow process?

And from a professional standpoint?

'Cause that will be the focus.

Strutting out in

a fabulous skirt wasn't enough

I had to go all the way.

Dive right in.

So you're diving, now?

Wasn't it about keeping

your head above water?

Didn't you have an appointment?

You'll be late.

Maybe we should wrap it up?

Let me make a phone call...

Use the big mirror.

It'll be easier.

Why not?
