Life During Wartime Page #5
You scream.
Avi Fleischer said
that pedophiles are terrorists...
and that they stick their penises
into your... tushy.
Avi Fleischer doesn't know
what he's talking about.
There are other things.
Your father may have been a pedophile,
but he was also a man and a father...
- and some things -
- Oh, Mom.
I don't want anything ever
to go inside of me, not ever.
Oh, Timmy. Timmy, don't worry.
Don't worry. Nothing -
Nothing will ever get inside you!
Not so long as I'm around.
[ S.U.V. Departing ]
[ Lawn Mower Whirring In Distance]
[ Door Clattering ]
[ Lock Snaps ]

Mind if I join you?
Please.
Forgive me. Please tell me you're straight.
- I am.
- Oh, thank God.
So what are you doing here all alone?
Work.
- You like your work?
- It pays.
Good. Then we don't have
to talk about it.
- Are you alone?
- Married.
Alone. The same thing.
No. Alone is alone.
I'm good at reading people, you know.
What do you read now?
Well, I see a man...
and he's alone, and he's straight.
That's good enough for me.
You are good.
My husband was a fag.
Must have been hard.
Only man I ever loved.
What happened to him?
Stuff.
- Any kids?
- Not anymore.
Just a pack of wolves,
and they're out for blood.
How so?
They've decided I'm the villain.
- I'm a monster.
- Why do they think that?
'Cause I am a monster.
People can't help it...
if they're monsters.
They can't be forgiven either.
Have you asked for forgiveness?
[ Scoffs ]
I'm not a fool.
If I were them,
I wouldn't forgive me either.
In my family,
there are only winners and losers.
And only losers ask for forgiveness.
The world out there...
it can be harsh.
What the hell do you know
about the world out there...
that I don't already know... twice over?
The enemy's within.
Your room have a view?
No.
Same here.
Who the f*** needs one anyway?
Why do you feel that way?
What are you, a shrink?
I need more than a caress.
[ Grunting, Gasping ]
How much do you need?
- What?
- It's okay.
I understand.
It was hard work.
I'm old.
There's a stash in the Chanel -
the zippered pocket. Take it all.
What are you looking at?
Don't start pretending like you care...
like I'm not a monster...
like I still have a heart that -
Forgive me.
F*** off, prick.
[ Trish ] What do you want, honey?
Let me just make it simple for her.
She's got some food issues.
Let's just get a mesclun salad, no pepper.
Just very simple.
And I'll have the Salade Nioise
