"Oh, well, I don't know if I'm exactly a friend, but I'm definitely not a foe." "I'm a mild acquaintance." " And you are?" " Lacy." "I look after Heidi." "[Francis] Oh, we//, couldl see her?" "[Lacy] / don'!" "see why not." "Why don 't you come on in ?" "He/'0'/is just stepped out for a moment, but we can wait in my apartment'." " She won'!" "be long." " Oh, we//, /can come back later." "[Lacy] N0." "N0, no, no." "Come on in." "Come and have some tea." "All right." "So..." "Are you a married man, Francis?" "Yes, as a matter of fact." "26 years in November." "26 happy years?" "For the most part, yeah." "Local girl?" "No, she's not a Salem lifer like me." "She's a Venezuelan girl, actually." "Any children?" "No." "We never got around to children." "Well, that's understandable." "Children are a bit of a waste." "Most are a total loss." "So few have anything of substance to really offer us." "But... on the rare occasion a special child appears." "Mm." "Well, I never really thought about it that way." "I just didn't like the idea of changing diapers." "Is Megan spinning her little philosophies on the value of breeding again?" "Don't mind her." "She lives in her own little bubble." "So, Mr Matthais, what was so important that you had to rush over here and see our dear little Heidi?" "Well, it wasn't that important." "It was just a record that she played on her show the other night." "Oh, really?" "And what record would that be, Mr Matthais?" "Some record by a group called the Lords." "You know, don't take this the wrong way, but aren't you a little old to like that shit?" "Yeah." "I was a guest on the show, actually, if you can imagine that." "Sonny, darling, would you mind getting me the sugar?" "So, anyway, ljust had some information" "I thought she might find interesting." "Oh, I'm sure she would." "Mr Matthais, you strike me as a man who would normally mind his own business." "I do, do I?" "WW are you laughing?" "I'm not laughing." "Is something suddenly funny?" "Uh..." " You know, I think I'll come back..." " You know what I think?" "I don't have a clue." "I think you've come here to get inside my dear little Heidi's head." "Get inside her head and fuck her brain." "Have you come here to stick your nosey cock inside her head and fuck her brain, Mr Matthais?" " I think I should go." " Oh, no!" " Good." " That felt good." "Well, if it isn't my favourite fairy story." "The End of the American W/fc/1." "I'll bet there are all sorts of juicy stories of cunty witches and the heroic deeds of the fucking mighty Jon Hawthome." "It seems you'd love to tell our little Heidi all about these spooky little tales of judgement day." "Sonny." "No." "No!" "[Francis screams]" "[P Vic Damone:" "Sugar]" "I / call my baby my sugar" "I / never maybe..." "What a waste of a good man." "Yes." "Such a pity." "And he was never going to be able to stop anything." "Hey-ho." "Anyone care for a fresh pot of tea?" "Lovely, darling." "[distorted, echoing barking]" "Hello, Whitey." "Hi." "Going somewhere, are we?" "Yeah, I was gonna go up and get Heidi." "You look nervous." "Are you nervous?" "No." "Excuse me." "Why don't you sit here with us?" "We need to talk." "No, really, I should get going." "We've got this thing we're gonna do tonight." "Well, don't let us stand in your way." "Yeah, sure." "Take care of Heidi." "She means the world to us, you know." "[knocking]" "[knocking]" "[knocking]" "What are you doing here?" "I told you not to come here." "[sob$]" "[Lacy] It's OK, Heidi." "You can tell Whitey to wait outside." "Wait for me outside." "[whispers] What the fuck is going on here?" "Please just wait for me outside." "Just go." "Come on, Whitey." "Come on." "Come with me." "Ah, man." " You look like death." " Chill, man." "We'll talk about this later, OK?" " Later?" " Yeah, later." "Don't tell me to chill." "I wanna know what the hell's going on." "Just listen." "Let's just get through this tonight." "Tomorrow we can start dealing with this." "Bye." "[P Mozart:" "Requiem K 626]" "Lord, hear us." "We are ready to bring your precious child to this world."
