"Tragedy has shattered this peaceful Thanksgiving eve." "Pacific Airlines flight 7-6-6-6 from San Francisco inbound to Burbank has just crashed in the hills of Glendale." "There's no confirmation as to the number of survivors, but we do know that the aircraft was overbooked carrying massive number of passengers." "BREAKING NEWS" "I understand we are now going to some exclusive videotape." "My God, that poor boy." "Jesus Christ!" "You see it?" "Take this." "I'm told that child has not yet been identified." "He's been treated at Glendale Memorial Hospital and is said to be in stable condition." "I believe I speak for us all, when I say our hearts go out to that poor child and his family." "Of course we'll be standing by to bring you all the updates of this terrible event as they unfold." "For KVLA, I'm Erica Lawson." "Be well." "And we're out!" "That was cool, Erica." "I don't know what came over me, I'm so sorry." "Listen give me your car, I wanna go down to Glendale Memorial." "Absolutely not, the whole town is gonna want to hear the rest of the story." "And they're gonna want to hear it from you." "Well, then give me a crew, I can do it from there." "All right listen, your boy's in the field anyway." "Scott's not supposed to be working." "He said he'd quit if I didn't put him on the schedule." "But the doctor said..." "Listen I don't know what you're bitching for, the guy's gonna win a Pulitzer Prize with that stuff." " Scott shot that?" " Yeah, he shot it." "I don't know how the hell he shot it, he was supposed to be in Santa Monica shooting place for the weather." "I'm looking for a little boy, from flight 7-6-6-6?" "Erika Lawson?" "I just saw you on TV!" "That is so cool!" " Thank you, what room is he in?" " Two doors down to your right." " Hey, great report tonight." " Yeah, I've never seen it before." "I just don't understand how you guys got down there." "I don't know, somebody just told us to go down there and shoot tonight." " How is he?" " He seems fine." " What did the doctor say?" " He's got no internal injuries." "Just like minor cuts and scrapes." "I mean his burns were like first degree." " They'll release him tomorrow." " To who?" " Whatever he belongs to, I guess." " Unless they were on the airplane." "Sorry guys, Steve wants us to wrap up and call the night." "Hey, what's the story?" "Any news from the family?" "Really?" "He's an orphan." "...of this terrible events as they unfold." "For KVLA, I'm Erika Lawson." "Be well." " Oh you look good, babe." " Did I keep it together?" " Very professional." " Come on, seriously." "Yes, you're right in the zone." "A moment there I thought you're being real." " Networks..." " All they care is our ratings." "You'll be fine." "Now come here, sit down." "Let's get high, watch some Charlie Brown." " I want you rub me." " Oh, kinky!" "He needs a home." " Who does?" " Donald." " Who's Donald?" " The little boy." "Don't tell me you forgot." "I didn't forget, I don't remember his name." " We could adopt him." " Honey, we've been through this." "We're on that list for like two and half years." "They want parents with regular hours." " I'll call my sister." " God no, please." "Any handouts from her highness Mary Lou is the last thing we need." "Honey I know we always talk about making it on our own." "But this isn't about us." "This is about that little boy." "He needs a home." "We'd give him a wonderful one." "You know that as well as I do." "Something compelled you to go out there and work tonight." "He's our boy." "Come on guys, that's bullshit, get the camera in there." "What's up?" "I hate jumpy shoot and everything with long lens." "So careful they can't even get out of the van." "Maybe if you'd were more careful you wouldn't have some shrapnel in your leg." "Here, watch something educational." "Of course you should only use the very very best organic Granny Smith apples." "A good father should know the answer to any question." "You're right, I should be prepared for when our kid asks us:" "Dad, where does apple pie come from?" " She's our savior." " She's the devil." "She has power in influence." "All right, she's your sister and she's helping us out." "What you're gonna do today?" "Take it easy on that life?" "I'll be working in guest house." "Get that ceiling fan right." "Your dad can live with that ceiling fan for a few weeks." "I mean man's been six months in the POW camp." "He's gonna remind me of it every day if I don't get that air moving in there." " Just take it easy." "I love you." " I love you too, babe." "May the good Lord guide the hearts of some loving couple." "So that this child and others like him at the orphanage may find the loving home he so richly deserves." "I'm indebted to the good people of this hospital and especially to news cameraman, Scott Lawson for rescuing this poor child." "Yeah, I'm watching it now." "Your sister better pull miracle, cause it looks like the entire town is gonna be after this kid." "What?" "You're kidding me!" " It says here, Mr. Lawson..." " Oh please, call me Scott." "Mr. Lawson, it says here that you have spent the considerable amount of time overseas in highly dangerous environments." "Hardly the best arrangement for a father and son relationship." "He's not doing that anymore." "Ever since my injury I took that job locally here with Erika station." "A far less dangerous, far less hostile." "Unless you consider the boss..." "Conscientiousness I can appreciate, Mr. Lawson." " It's the dead parent I have trouble abiding." " Oh, me too." "Me too." "Mr. and Mrs. Lawson, here at our "Lady Of His Blessed Blood", we take great care and pride in the selection of parents for our children." "We would much rather that they remain here in our good care than end up in the hands of less than suitable guardians." "Typically, those who work in the world of entertainment make very poor candidates." " Have you seen Mommy Dearest?" " A good movie." "Good cam, no hangers." "I would never hit a child." "However the entertainment industry wields a mighty sword in this town." "And your sister Mrs. Lawson, is not one to be trifled with." "Trust me, I know." "I made five of her episodes once," "I swear should I have hit squad coming after me." "Be that as it may I have great respect for Mary Lou Conroy." "She is the only performer besides Celine Dion, to carry moral responsibility in that perverse business of yours." "Present company of course excluded, my dear." "I thought your reporting on little Donald was remarkably moving." "Now, having said all that, and with the caveat that you both promise to cut considerable time from your busy work schedules to spend quality time with the boy." "I am prepared to release little Donald into your custody." " Congratulations." " Thank you." "Thank you so much, thank you for keeping the faith." "No pun intended." "Now I'm sure that the suddenness of this has prevented you from locating a loving and reliable nanny..." "No actually his father is coming to stay with us, and he's a great to take care of Donald." "Really?" "I would have thought an elderly gentleman might not have the stamina." "Oh no, dad's great." "He used to be a fighter pilot." "I mean he's tough as nails and he's Catholic as all hell." "Oh, indeed." " Can we go see Donal now?" " Of course you can." "The boy has already been told." "Sister Agatha, would you introduce Mr. and Mrs. Lawson to their new son?" "Sister Agatha will escort you to the boy's room." "Good luck to you both." "Thank you very much, thank you." "Oh and remember, God is always watching." "Donald, it's time." "Hi, I'm here." "Don't cry, mom." " We have to go." " Let's go." " This is it." "Donald, here's your home." " Go ahead, check it out champ." " Why do you call me champ?" " That's just an expression." "You know like body, or pal." "That's from boxing, you know, heavy weight champion." " Champ." " I don't like fighting." "Neither does your mom." "Kids at the home used to beat me up." "The orphanage in San Francisco?" "Did you tell your father that?" "I didn't have to." "He punished them." " Ah, you mean he." " Punished them all." "You know, that's okay." "To be a winner gets some sparring." "Your grandpa Jake was a Gold Gloves champion." "He'll be here tomorrow." "He's not gonna teach him how to box." " What?" " You're guys hungry?" "I can order in." "Pizza." "I vote for pizza." "You want some pizza?" "So what do you think of my artwork?" "Would have been better if I had more time." "I can draw." "That's wonderful, Donald." "Finally a real artist in the family." "Will you draw me a picture?" "I can hardly wait." "But first come help me set the dinner table." "Watch out, next thing you know she'll have you taking out the garbage and mow the lawn." "Make sure you get paid well for that." "That was my mistake." "You're sure you don't wanna stick at your new action guy?" "This looks like Father O'Herlihy's office." "I'm sorry about that, champ." "This used to be my old dark room." "We're gonna make it so nice for you." " Anything you want." " Anything you want." "Lover lamps, disco balls, bikini girl posters for the wall, anything." "Sweet dreams." "We will be just down the hall if you need us, okay?" "You know I shot a few of those." "Girls in bikinis." "I'll tell you about it, 1986." "Almost forgot." "I got one of these in my room too." "Keeps the monsters away." "Good night, son." "Wow, these are really good." "He should enter some art contest or something, cause he would kick ass." " He seems really happy." " Give him a few more days of dad." "I'm kidding." "Would you look at dad." "I wish he was that animated and excited when I was Donald's age." "Good flying, Don." "You make a great pilot." "That's a fine kid you guys got yourself there." "I really like him." "I mean you could have been settled with some crack pipe monster!" "Thanks, dad." "You're sure you don't mind taking care of him?" "What else I gotta do?" "At least I can do to pay my room and board." "How do you like the digs, dad?" "Well, it's a rest home." " You put that ceiling fan in?" " You betcha." "Yeah, I thought so." "What are you doing with your tools these days?" "Wow, look at the time, dad." "I gotta go." " I gotta shoot protest at the zoo." " At the zoo?" "What's wrong with the zoo?" "I've been thinking about taking young Donald there myself." "We'd rather that you didn't." "That's a terrible place." "Look dad, you have our cell phones in case you need anything, okay?" "Bye sweety." "Bye, you go shoot yourself a monkey, son." "The boy's safe with the marine." "All right champ, I'll see you later." "See you later tonight." "Thank you." "I gotta run too." " All right." " Bye." "Love you forever." "And one day longer." "Come on Don!" "Time you're gonna need to catch a fly." "Like Big Jake." "That was nice, all right." "Here comes." "High fly." "Okay, it's all right, son." "Just wanna see what's going on inside there." " What's boy's name?" " Donald." "Hello Donald." "I'm doctor Loring." "For a moment or two I just wanna take a look inside there, okay?" "I was just trying to teach him how to catch a fly ball." "Donald, I'll tell you a little secret." "It works better if you try to catch it with your glove, instead of your mouth." "All right, let's take a look inside there." " You're the boy's father?" " Grandfather." "Step grandpa." "My son just adopted him." "Listen, grandpa." "It's pretty obvious that Donald's upset." "And he probably feels embarrassed to do it on your eyes." "Can't tell you how often I see this kind of thing." "Listen, why don't you do yourself and him a favour and wait outside?" "I guarantee it'll help, he'll loosen up and we'll get some work done." " If you think that's best, doc." " I do." "Donny, I'm just gonna get out of these good folks away so they can make you well again son." "And don't you worry, you'll be fine." "And when it's done, we'll go get some ice-cream, okay?" "Now you do what the doc says, and I'll see you later." "All right, let's cut the crap." "Open your mouth, now." " Are you fucking nuts?" " Hey, you watch your mouth." " You're gonna throw baseball through him?" " His teeth are fine." "Who gives a shit about his teeth?" "How much death does this boy have to go through?" "It was an accident, the cops even said so themselves." "How was I supposed to know such terrible thing's gonna happen?" "You could have called one of us, dad." "Before you even took him in there." "I never said that I was child expert." "Your mother now, she always..." "You're the one that wanted me to look after him." "No, I wanted a professional nanny, dad." "Erika was the one that wanted it!" "Guys, keep it down." " I see." " Dad." "I'm sorry." "How's he doing?" "He's calm." "The psychologist said that he's handling it quite well." "Apparently surviving the plane crash has made death more tolerable." "I just hope..." "Shh." "It's okay." "Well, kids..." "It's been a long hard day." "Erika, darling..." " I am so, so sorry." " It's not your fault, dad." "I still think it would be a good idea to get some professional look after Donald." "Don't be silly." "I'd feel a whole lot better if you'd at least consider it." "You won't hurt my feelings." "There's just no room for them, when it comes to caring for a child." " Dad, we'll talk about it in the morning." " Okay, son." " Good night." " Good night, son." "Good night, Erika." "Donald?" " Good morning, champ." " Hey, dad." " Where's your grandpa Jake?" " I don't know." "You know how to make your own breakfast already." "I still don't even know how to make my own breakfast." "Why don't you make a few of those for your grandpa Jake?" "I don't think he's very hungry this morning." "I installed the ceiling fan before." "What a fucking idiot, I read the fucking instructions!" "Mr. Lawson, there's no need for that kind of language, okay?" "I think the time like this is the perfect time for that fucking language." "Settle down." "Tell me again exactly what happened." "I was taking off the trash." "I was walking by the window." "I just looked at it." "What happened to grandpa Jake, mom?" "He had an accident, baby." "I know that, but what kind of accident?" "Something fell on him." "But he didn't feel a thing, he was asleep." "But I saw all the blood." " So what are you drawing?" " Grandpa Jake." "That's nice." "He'd like that." "I'm gonna go check on your daddy, are you okay?" "I'm okay, mom." "How could I be..." "I'm so sorry." "Goddamn it, what is it Steve?" "No, we've had a disaster over here too." "Oh, Scott's father was killed." "A fire on Santa Monica peer is not exactly 9/11." "I need to be here with my family." "It's okay, just go." "It's fine, we'll be okay." "Just go." " You're sure?" " Yes." "Okay." "Fine, I'll be there in an hour." "Let's just make sure this hair make-up..." "Yeah, what's her name?" "She's got bad breath and she makes me look like a 20 dollar hooker." "Thank you." "He's losing it." "The Santa Monica peer, it's gonna fall into the Pacific." "Just look at that." "You can see the selflessness in the eyes of those men and women." "So willing to sacrifice their lives for the lives of others." "It makes you value." "Fireboats and planes have now joined the operation." "Stay tuned for our continuing coverage of this catastrophic fire in the gulf of the famed Santa Monica peer." "Reign of blood has just begun." "How the hell did you get in here?" "It is upon you, Mr. Lawson, not I. Your father was only the first." "You and your wife will fall prey to the most horrific..." "Daddy!" "He is the source of all the pain in the world!" "Donald, go back to your room, it's okay!" "Laid my eyes on you once, once was enough." "Flames of black seed is upon us!" "Demon child revealed be shall!" "Get out of my house!" "Get out of my home!" "I don't know what was wrong with her, son." "You can't let anything she said bother you." "She's obviously really sick." " She seemed pretty strong to me." " Oh, be careful with that." "What is it?" " This is the fireplace poker." " Where's the fireplace?" "We don't have one." "Your mom doesn't like construction in the house." "It's belonged to your grandpa Jake." "He used to take us up to the cabin up in the mountains." "On Christmas morning he'd wake up and make a really big fire." "We'd open our presents and roast marshmallows." "I like fires." "You know I will always protect you, right?" "You're always gonna be safe when I'm around." "What do you fucking mean she was just standing in a house!" "I must forgot to lock the door." " She picked it or something." " Obviously you forgot!" "God, with all this child has been through, that's the last thing I need to worry about!" "Hey!" "I took care of it!" "We're getting an alarm system, just like I asked for six months ago." "And we're also getting a professional to look after Donald." "God, I may be relaxed a little while away." " You're going somewhere?" " The networks wanna talk to me." "It's just a meeting greet." "I'll be there three days." " When were you gonna tell me this?" " I just did." "This is really big news you're interviewing for network anchor." "I guess my reporting on the plane crash was a hit with the audience." "I don't know, it seemed like you knew exactly what you're doing tonight." "What is that supposed to mean?" "I'm saying come on, you're crying over fire fighters!" " Are you saying I was acting?" " No, I'm saying you were embellishing." "... was pronounced dead at the scene." "The woman has been identified as sister Margaret McNulty." "Formally of "Lady Of His Blessed Blood" orphanage in San Francisco." "For now closed facility after it was consumed by fire in March of this year." "According to out sister station, KQEC in San Francisco, sister McNulty had mysteriously abandoned her duties at "His Lady" shortly before the fire." "SISTER MARGARET McNULTY HIT AND RUN VICTIM" "She was questioned and released by SFPD and have been officially reported as missing by her church until her whereabouts were discovered earlier this evening."

"Sorry about that, man." " Dude, where were you?" " I became a father, you know how it is." "No, I don't know how it is." "What do you want?" "I need you to look up Father Dennis O'Herlihy from San Francisco." "That'll be hard." "I'll get it." " Get back to me as soon as you can." " All right, everything for a friend." "She's done a number on you, how can you eat that soy shit?" "She's not even here." "Man, the shit's good." "You should try it sometime." "Hey Donny, let me know when they cut to the cheerleaders." "Dude, what you're doing?" "He's nine years old." "What?" "Kids are more accelerated nowadays." "My sister's kid's eight and he's got Kaligula on PSP." "So you're guys thinking of moving to New York?" "If she makes network one of us will have to make a decision." " Meaning you." " Meaning her." "I don't know what I'm doing yet." "We haven't talked about it." " Grab that." " All right." "I'll drop." "Here you go champ, soda." "Your meat sandwich." "Enjoy it while you can, you're going veggie by spring time." "Oh man, come on!" "You guys suck." " You suck." " You suck." "You suck." "Hello, can I help you?" "Good afternoon, Mr. Lawson." "I'm Lucy, your new nanny." "The agency sent me." "Here are my references." " Hi." " Hi." " You couldn't be Donald." " I could be if you want me to." "Please, come in." "Lucy, was it?" "Father Francis at the orphanage called my superiors as soon as he heard you needed assistance." "My wife will be so happy to know..." "I spoke to her on the phone this morning." " Very inquisitive, your wife." " Yeah, she can be that way." "Don't get me wrong, I respect that." "I'd be the same way." "There he is." "It's okay, you go ahead, shake her hand, body." "This is Lucy." "She's gonna be staying with us for a while." "I've waited a long time to meet you Donald." "I can't tell you how happy I am to be kneeling here before you." "Dude, shh!" "Apologize!" " And get miss..." " Fir." "Like the tree." "Nice." "Get miss Fir something to drink." "Ice tea?" "Very nice, thank you." "But there's no need for apology, sir." "I've been around." "You wanna show me your room, Donald?" "I hear you're quite the artist." "I was hoping you'd show me some of your drawings." "Yeah body, go ahead." "Show her your room." "She spanks." "These are very good, Donald." "But where are the others?" "Come come, you know what I'm talking about." "I wanna see your special drawings." "Be not afraid, little one." "Search thy heart." "You know who I am." "Thy humble servant, thy sword and thy shield." "Exquisite." " Hey, what are you doing tomorrow?" " Probably working." "I was thinking about calling in sick." "My legs been kinda hacking up on me." "Really?" "Because it looks like you're getting around..." "Oh, I get it." "You wanna spend a little quality time with a new help?" " Little hookie and some nookie." " No man, it's nothing like that." "I would just really appreciate if you were here." "I mean Lucy seems great and all, but..." "You know it's not cool to keep a big scoop away from your partner." "It's nothing like that." "It's not a scoop, I promise." "Are you talking about the waitress from that inn?" "Cause I know you're threw it in, but that doesn't mean you're the father." " I know where you can get a free DNA test." " It's nothing like that." "It's just..." "It's something I gotta do." "You know you don't have to stay in here." "It's perfectly fine considering everything that happened." "This will be just fine." "I'm not afraid of ghosts." "Besides I've slept in a lot worse." "When I was in a punk rock scene, we didn't care who or what we slept on when we slept." " Wow, you were in a punk scene." " Mullhawk and everything." "And then I went to the Peace Corps." "And that was dirt floors and bugs a size of beemers." "Nice." "I have a small TV I can bring out to you." "The one we had in here before that one that... dad used." "Thank you." "Well if you need anything, don't hesitate." " Good night." " Good night." " So what do you think of Lucy?" " She's nice." "Could be a lot worse." "She's nothing like the ladies at the orphanage." "Ladies?" "You mean nuns." "They used to hit us with their rulers, sometimes even with their shoes." "So you got beat up by the police and the nuns." "That sucks." "Remember how you were telling me that the police got punished?" "If they were mean." "Did the nuns get punished too?" "It's okay, I don't like mean nuns either." "They freak me out." "So how did they get punished?" "They got burnt." "Most of them got burnt." "How do you think they got burnt up?" "Are you glad they got burnt up?" "Glad I'm not getting hit." "Me too." "You have fun with Lucy tomorrow." "Uncle Tony will be there too." "They'll take you to the park and the movie." " Rated R?" " PG-13." "I'll make Lucy pick it out." "I have to work late tomorrow night, so I'll probably be home around bed time." "Thank you." "Good night, dad." "Good night, champ." "Be careful." "You too." "Hey, it's me." "Just calling to see what you're up to." "It's pretty late there." "You're either asleep or up with those network guys." "Be careful there, kind of wild." "I was thinking about you." "So I wanted to see how the meeting greet went." "I love you." "I'll call you tomorrow." "Okay." "Bye." "So Tony, Scott tells me there's a nice little park not too far from here." " Yeah, St. Francis Green." " St. Francis?" "That's over by the church." "They keep those grounds really nice over there." "Wait, we should have a picnic!" "You're sure you two are gonna be hungry enough for a picnic?" "Oh, yeah." "Hey, what did you do with that frisbee I got you?" "We could throw it around the park." "Nah." "Come on, frisbee floats." "It's not gonna come crash down on you like a baseball." " Trust your uncle Tony." " It's in my room." "In the basket." "Perfect." "I say we get cracked." "We can go do the park thing and then we'll go over and watch Party Poopers 2." " Is that PG-13?" " I think so." "It's comedy." "Hi, it's Scott." "Hey Scott, what's up man, it's Tony." "I just saw some weird shit." "Just come back here as soon as you can." " Hey, you." " Hey." " Where's the frisbee, uncle Tony?" " Oh yeah, shit." "I mean... sorry." "Bad word." " There are worse." " Right." "Hey listen pal, maybe we should forget the frisbee today." " Play it safe." " But you said..." "I know, but I think I slept on my neck..." "Let's just catch the flick." "What, no picnic?" "I made sandwiches." "Wow, that was fast." "I hope you weren't just giving me a lie about my cooking." "No, of course not." "Because the man who likes my cooking, always wins my heart." "Why don't you go fetch us a picnic basket?" "Scott says there's one back at the garage." "Right." "Cool, I'm on it." "Don't you guys ever play music in here?" "We used to." "But not all the patients like the same thing." " They caused some problems." " Really, like what?" "Throwing excrement." "Beating their heads against the walls." "Father O'Herlihy is gonna be so glad to see his nephew." "You know nobody's come to see him in months." "I'd have been here sooner, but I was overseas." "He's really badly burnt." "Doctors did what they could, but..." "I understand." "Father, your nephew's come to see you." "I'll be near if you need me." "Father O'Herlihy?" "Father?" "Sir?" " Nephew." "I have no nephew." " I know." "But I had to come." "Why have you come?" "To kill me?" "No, God forbid, no." "God forbids only that which is forgivable." "I'm getting weaker with each passen minute." "Father, do you know this boy?" "He's my son." "No, no son of this earth." "A black seed whose true father God cast out of heaven." "But has returned through the child." "Do you know sister Margaret?" "Woman who was foolishly thought mad." "She's dead." "She had eyes when the rest of us were blind." "She knew the child would bring down the raft of the father in our house." "Everything she forsaw went to pass." "Are you saying that Donald brought down your orphanage?" "And brought down the aircraft too." "All part of his father's plan." "His delivery into your arms was no accident." "The boy is the beast." "He bears its mark." "I haven't seen anything on him." ""And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should doth speak." "And as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."" "Let understanding count the number of the beast." "Which is the number of the men, that is number 666." " This is bullshit!" " I'm not lying my son!" "The time is nigh." "It is the eve of the 6th day of the 6th month, in the year of our Lord, 2006." "Tomorrow is the beginning of his reign." "The dying of the light, unless you do what must be done." "I can't kill my own son." "The act is not against any child, but the poison of serpent's." "Reason to strangle out any goodness left in this terrible world." "Can't be." "The farthest next strike at parasite's fangs." "Look there, and search what you seek." " Hey Tony." " Hey, Scott." " Can you hear me?" " Tony." "I can barely hear you, speak up." "Hey, I found some really messed up drawings." " You found what?" " I think Donny did them." " Breaking up, Tony." " I think Donny drew them." "They're all bloody and guts and it's pretty messed up." "I can't hear anything." "Call me back." "Hey, it's Tony." "Tony, pick up your phone." "How was your trip?" "It was good." "Did everything go okay with Donald?" "I tried to call house a few times on Tony's cellphone and I couldn't get through to anyone." "We all went to the park." "We had a terrific time." " Tony went with you?" " Sure." "Donald really loves him." "He's quite the cut up." "Did Tony mention where he was going tonight?" "He left us after the movie." "He said he had a date." "I'm gonna go check on Donald." "Oh, have you eaten?" "I can fix you something." " No, I'm fine." "Thanks Lucy." " Then I will retire for the evening." "There's mini series about the life of Christ." " I didn't know you were religious." " Oh, hardly." "This is good for a laugh." " So you got TV hooked up okay out there?" " Yeah, thanks for leaving it outside my door." "Oh, and how about some drapes for the windows?" " Sorry about that." " That's my fault." "In the punk scene walking around naked never meant anything sexual." "Then even less in a Peace Corps."
