Weekend Page #5

- or some flat-pack wardrobe from Ikea.

- Mmm.

And now I've got

it, and I like it.

- It's a very costly mug.

- What do you mean?

To be able to buy a Wii...

or an Xbox.

I don't even know how

much those things are.

Do you want milk, sugar?

Yeah, one of those.

OK.

Just got to wait for

the kettle to boil.

Are you hungry?

No.

I've got some nice pitta bread.

I'm fine.

Well, I'm starving, so I'm

going to have to eat.

OK.

I've been thinking about this

morning and your tape thing.

Mm-hm.

- It's for an art project, yeah?

- Yeah.

So is that what you want to

be, you want to be an artist?

Kind of.

So, and you really

don't have to tell me,

how is your tape art project

just going to be an art project

and not people talking dirty?

You think talking

about sex is dirty?

You know what I mean.

It's just I'm not sure if...

(Grunts)

...people want to hear about the

random sex life of strangers.

You just don't want people

hearing about your sex life.

That's true.

Imagine if everybody

was just open

about what they did and

that everything was normal.

- Yeah, but people are open, aren't they?

- Are they?

There was this guy

in work today,

I'm just sat there

having my lunch,

and he starts talking about how many

fingers he can put up a girl's fanny.

But was he gay?

- No.

- Well, there you go, then.

You like a lot of

condiments, don't you?

I love my condiments.

Gay people never talk

about it in public

unless it's just cheap innuendo.

I think it's cos

they're ashamed.

Maybe it's just they're a

little bit embarrassed.

Isn't that the same thing?

It smells of spunk.

(Glen) Anyway, that tape thing

isn't really about sex at all.

(Russell) Really?

But I know what artists sound like

when they talk about their work,

so I'm not going to sit

and sound like a c*nt.

Well, it's a good job you're not

an artist yet, then, isn't it?

Ooh, very funny!

Come on, tell me.

I'm interested.

All right.

Well, you know what it's like when you

first sleep with someone you don't know?

Yeah.

It's... You, like,

become this blank canvas

and it gives you an opportunity to project

onto that canvas who you want to be.

And that's what's interesting,

because everybody does it.

- So, do you think that I did it?

- Course you did.

Well, what happens is,

while you're projecting

who you want to be,

this gap opens up between

who you want to be

and who you really are,

and in that gap, it shows you

what's stopping you becoming

who you want to be.

And all of this from

talking about sex?

All of that from

talking about sex.

Interesting.

I like it.

I'm not sure that I totally

understand what you're saying, but...
