"Come on, give me some dough." "I'm broke." "I'm not just hungover." "I have no money." "Listen, Stan, I already gave you 10,000 dollars in advance... and instead of the script I only got three lousy pages." "I'm not your Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, sweety." "Think cause you crashed your car, you can shove your shit onto me?" "I don't have a penny to my name, look what I'm banging on." "You're banging your whiskey on the table, I see that alright." "Do you suck ice cubes?" " It's not about that." " It's not about that." "Have you tried to check how much alcohol is in your blood?" "What are you talking about?" "Come on!" "Shut up and listen." "You'll be stunned." "Abigail has fallen into a habit of sitting down on my bed every day... eating crackers or a biscuit... at night I felt the crumbs rolling on my skin... falling out of her child's teeth, they sharpened my criminal desire... and inflamed my sleepless nights with convulsive erections." "I showed her how I could draw sewing needles with just one line... and the smaller the eye was... the harder she laughed with her silent and nervous laughter... and clapped her hands leaning back on my bed." "Not bad." " This is great, isn't it?" " What?" "This is great!" "An arthouse film." "Of course." "One night she cuddled up to me with her body full of goose bumps... like a chicken in the polar cold of the large living room on the folding bed in the empty pool where battered stars were falling down," "the only loving words that I've said in my life." "whispered in the ear of this mute deaf girl." " In the ear of this mute deaf girl." " Not bad." " I'll continue." " What?" " I'll continue reading." " What?" "I'll go on." "Unconsciously, I uttered unbelievable scabrous words... that came out like ventriloquisms from my clenched teeth... when under me, writhing in euphoria... and instinctive orgasmic attempts, little Abigail screamed in silence!" "I couldn't come." "Afraid of the explosion that seemed inevitable... that was tormenting my insides, at the exact moment... when I was ready to give up my soul, crying, I suppressed the orgasm... and tore myself away from my prey." "And these few grams and milliliters of semen... hit into my brain and caused an inflammation... the consequence was like a dazzling flashback." "With many idle attempts, I tried furiously masturbating to lance this abscess... burning my skull, but never that warm serum... that came to light was the same that came out that memorable night." "On the next day Abigail was sent to the boarding school." "What am I supposed to do with it?" "Honestly." "If you think I'll give you another ten grand... for what you just read, you are sadly mistaken." "Oh, you're here." "Charlotte, give Uncle Herman a kiss." "Fuck you, "uncle"!" "There was a time when you were jumping on my knees you even wet my pants once." "What shoots at the heel but gets in your nose." "Remember?" "Yes, yes, shut up." "Charlotte." "See, Herman?" "Charlotte, my dear Charlotte, I feel so sorry for your mom." "You know, I loved her a lot." "I'll never forget her bright eyes... her beautiful hands." "Stan, think about your daughter." "She's a miracle." "You're killing yourself - you drink, you smoke, you fuck around." "While this girl lives for your sake." "First, her mother died, and if it's going to be like this, you won't last six months either." "I'm not dead yet, you old fool." "I forbid you to nag at Charlotte." "Understood?" "Forget it." "You're afraid to object aren't you." "The past has only taught me one thing:" "the only way to stay alive is to go with the flow... and see what happens." "Relationships between people should change from time to time... just like shedding skin... because something else, something bigger, is showing through it." "Maybe, to save the relationship you need to set them aside sometimes and see if they take another form... and if they don't it means they shouldn't exist anyway." "Cool isn't it?" "It's Elia Kazan - that nutcase... who ratted on all his friends under McCarthy." "Here, honey, give it to daddy." "This is the last time I'm lending to you." "If I don't have this lousy script in a week... .. it's over." "And your "intellectual" quotations... you can shove them right in your hole if you know what I mean." "Herman, please, she's only fifteen." "Dad, I'm in ninth grade, I know what a hole is." "Really?" ".." "What is it then?" "Answer me!" "What is a hole?" "I don't know." "I don't know." "I don't know..." "It's an exhaust pipe just like on "Yamaha"." "Philosophy is nonsense!" "I'm sick of it!" "Spinoza!" "Schopenhauer!" "Bergson!" "Sartre!" "I see you're not good with math." "Our teacher is crazy, she sticks her finger in her nose up to her elbows... and then rolls her boogers on the table." "She's like this all the time." "Smokes cigarettes too." "She smells terrible." "She can't stand me at all;" "I don't know what I did to her..." "Maybe she doesn't like your cute little face?" "Dad, where is mom's picture?" "It was too striking." "And a reproach in the eyes. *" "You killed her." "Little girl, you can't say that." "You don't know anything about it." "You don't know anything about this story." "You don't know anything about it." "Don't touch her, you fat pig." "It's between me and her." "I want my mom." "I want to see my mom!" "Why did she die?" "Damn it, I want my mom." "Honey, go grab some ice." " You're going to get wasted again." " This is a good time." "Dolores Haze is wanted." "Distinctive marks: red lips, brown hair." "5300 days old, will be fifteen soon." "Occupation" " A starlet." "Where are you, Dolores, what magic carpet is flying you away." "Which star are you?" "What carriage - moped, motorcycle - is waiting at your door?" "Who are you dancing with, my darling, in your blue jeans and old shirt,.." "I'm watching you out of the corner of my eye." "Lolita..." "She didn't close her grey eyes when I was kissing her closed lips." "Do you know the "Green sun" perfume?" "You're French, I suppose?" "It's over Lo, I'm dying from remorse and hate." "But I'm raising my hairy fist again and I'm crawling at your feet." "Hey, sergeant!" "There she is." "Cuts the shine of shop windows sweeping away by the storm." "It's her..." "Sergeant, give me my Lolita back." "With her fierce look and softlips." "She weights no more than 90 pounds." "My car broke down." "The last step is the hardest one." "I will die on the side of the road, Lolita." "The rest is literature." "Nabokov." "That's right." "Have you read it?" "Stole it from the library." "I've read Miller too." "Tropics." "Listen, baby, it's too early for you." "It's plain porn." "It's never too early to not be an idiot." "I also got through Apollinaire's "11 Thousand Virgins"." "Prince Vibescu." "Countess." "Isn't that cute of you!" "Adelaide told me." "She is very interested in sex." "I thought you didn't see each other anymore." "I see her when she comes out of here." "Isn't she pretty?" "Such tits at her age they'll be hanging down soon." "I give her two years tops." "Did you feel her up or something?" "She has no talent for Latin or Greek." "But it's money for us." "But there should be money left from mom." "Yes." "Cash." "Dad, you're just an alcoholic, and I'm not in a rush to become an orphan." "You think I'm a pyromaniac and a murderer." "What can I say?" "You were driving the Porsche." "That's it, I'm fucking done!" "Maybe I was driving but I was sober that day." "That's what you're saying." "I haven't showed you police records just because it's hyperrealism... you can't stand it." "Take that!" "Mom." "Mom." "You crashed into a tank truck!" "It exploded because of you!" "Admit it if you're not a complete asshole!" "Say it one more time and I'll send you to boarding school." "Good and I won't see your ugly face anymore." "Shut up!" "Your hand." "I'm sorry." "Yes, it's burned." "You understand now?" "Do you?" "I tried to drag mom out of pile of metal and burned my hand." "You understand?" "You don't understand anything, stupid." "Don't call me stupid, damn it." "Give me a kiss." "No, you're not stupid." "You understand now, I don't know." "Well, children, I got to go." "Charlotte, remember, time heals and washes away your grief." "Stan, you're the man as far as I know." "You've got balls." "Write the script." "Charlotte, I added ten bucks for your candy." "Does your hand still hurt?" "It's fine." "Forget it!" "It could be worse." "I have to get up early tomorrow." "Have to write an essay." "What's the subject?" "Edgar Allan Poe "The Murders in the Rue Morgue"." "Translated by Baudelaire." "I know." "Well written." "The one with the orangutan." "That's why I need to analyze stylistics... and the detective plot." "Not bad!" "Why do they teach children such horrific things?" "All right, come here." "Dad, he's not home." "I know." "Let's play." "Hey!" "Becassine, would you help?" "I don't get what you are doing here." "Where the hell are you?" "Come here." "Watch it!" "Take the helmet." "Whoever knocks down the most - wins." "Come on." "Shut up." "It's moto-bowling!" "Your turn." "Get to it." "A game for fools." "I wonder who came up with it." "You lost - now you have to moon." "This is driving me crazy." "How long are you going to bug me like this?" "Who did this?" "It's Therese." "A friend of Becassine." "Oh, Becassine..." "Charlotte came up with it." "Interesting." "She was sitting by the radiator she's a repeat student." "So what?" "Stop it." "All right." "Go to the store, otherwise they'll be closed." "Come on, Therese." "No..." "My leg hurts."

"But there's something about you." "Are you scared?" "Why?" "It could be worse." "Look at me." "What's wrong?" "Ashamed?" "Dad." "What?" "I was given a task at school to answer the Proust Questionnaire." "Proust Questionnaire?" "I thought it's studied later." "You're in middle school, aren't you?" "Do you want me to help you?"

"All the plans I offer with shyness and trembling... as the fear freezes my heart - all of them are impatiently denied by you." "The best I've reached - is your silence." "Such cruelty doesn't fit your nature." "You are kind, your actions are noble and filled with devotion..." "But what actions will erase your words?" "These merciless words are heard everywhere." "I hear them at night." "They haunt and devour me, they pervert everything you do." "Do I really have to die?" "Then you'll be happy."

"She'll die." "You'll be walking alone in the crowd..." "You'll meet people that today you're grateful to for their indifference."

"Beautiful, isn't it?" "That is wild, terrific and crazy." "There is just one problem - it's not his." "What do you mean, not his?" "It's Benjamin Constant's." "Who the hell is he?" "Are the rights of authorship available?" "He kicked off in 1830." "That piece of shit!" "Who" " Constant?" "His constant is the inconstancy." "What do you want, my dear?" "He's killing himself for this broad." "And in between drinking, he's stealing wherever he can." "Intellectually, of course." "Tell me, doctor!" "Are you a pedagogue, by chance?" "*" "Though I don't have anything against queers..." "I'm asking you, did your grandma like to ride bicycles?" "Pardon me, I not understand." "It's simple." "Bicycle - pedal - pederast!"

"Now, I have something to tell you." "Hurry, I don't have much time." "Why are you acting so nervous?" "A red day?" "What is a red day?" "Period." "What the hell else would it be." "A holiday?" "I'm fed up with you!" "Listen carefully, stop telling him about the accident." "You'll kill him." "Who?" "Me?" "Dad?" "That's exactly what I said." "And don't play fool, you understood me clearly." "Ok, Aunt Leona." "So I won't see Stephen anymore." "I know you had an eye on him." "He was hansome; he was tall and smelled like scorching sand." "I take the truck, you take the Porsche." "Why not..." "I don't care." "Watch out, I'm starting up." "You're doing it on purpose." "What's the matter?" "Did I scare you?" "What happened?" "Goodnite baby." "This is just a nightmare." "Think about mom." "Forget about me." "Dad, I got "F" in math." "What are you doing here?" " I just." " What you just?" " Well, I'll explain." " Go on, I'm listening." "Maybe, you won't believe but..." "I only believe my own eyes." "I got hot." "Of course, you got hot!" "So this is what you're learning from him!" "And you're not in love with Stan?" "Of course, I am!" "You have no right to fall in love with him!" "He's mine!" "He's not yours, he's mine!" "I hate you!" "He's mine, hands off!" "I hate you!" "You bitch!" "You'll hear from me." "And you get out!" "Out!" "Get lost, I said." "You're all crazy here, I'll tell dad, you'll see." "You're a murderer and a monster." "Murderer because you fucked Adelaide." " And a monster because..." " Because?" "because you fucked Adelaide." "You want to say I'm the murderer because I killed mom, right?" "Is that what you wanted to say?" "Yes." "How can you throw something like that at me?" "That's what I think." "Leave me alone!" "Go ahead, what are you waiting for?" "I don't have anything else but you." "If I lose you" " I lose everything." "You need to remove the safety first." "It's really simple." "Elementary, my dear Watson." "You should learn;" "I've already learnt my lessons." "You're right, my angel." "I'm the monster and the murderer." "Murderer without an alibi." "A loser!" "A cheater!" "Worthless piece of shit!" "An alcoholic!" "A smoker!" "A dog!" "No, not a dog!" "I'm sorry; this is not what I wanted to say." "My poor doggie." "You were my only comfort." "Now you don't need your bones anymore." "Remember, we were playing poker together?" "You would always lose." "Even holding all the aces." "You're in dog heaven now." "And I'll be burning in hell." "Burning till I die!" "Damn it, I don't feel well." "My heart." "This pump." "Damn pump!" "I think that's what it is." "Who is dying, me or you!" "Ah, damn it, you take care of it yourselves now!" "I'm sick of dealing with your crap!" "Where is my baby?" "Damn it, where is Charlotte?" "God, it hurts!" "Mom!" "I'm sorry!" "Now you're calling me mom?" "I'm sorry!" "I did it on purpose." "I knew it wasn't you." "What are you talking about?" "I knew it wasn't your fault." "I just wanted to make you mad." "What a little shit you are."
