TRANSCRIPT
I gotta go.
It is my job to do everything I can to make my children a part of a normal world.
A world of school and friends and lovers and families of their own some day.
Dad?
What she means is that she prefers the senseless
pain we inflict on each other to the pain we would otherwise inflict on ourselves.
I know.
But I’m not afraid of that solitary pain. In fact if I don’t strip myself
of all this clatter and clutter and ridiculous ritual I shall go out of my fucking mind.
I’ll be there if you need me.
The rightful masters are jealous. Watching mankind with a hatred that is as
boundless as the stars with a plan for the destruction of man that is beyond imagining.
Are you really my mom and dad?
Human life doesn’t have great truths. We are born in doubt.
We spend our lives persuading ourselves we’re alive and one way we do
that is love each other, like I love you.
All right, well, let’s have a sign, like a bird outside my window,
or the wind.
I think you deserve something better.
That’s a fancy word for what you really want.
Did you see that?
I don’t know.
