Why?

OK we'll stop it there, OK.

Who here saw an eight month pregnant lady on the stage?

Uh... I saw a very constipated old man.

It did look a bit like you needed a poo.

Why do you think it looked that way?

Well, it was just a bit too much.

Yes Margaret.

I think it's harder for him.

Why do you think it's harder for him?

Because he's a man.

Why would it be harder because he's a man?

Well, we see a man on stage

and so it's harder for us to see him as a pregnant lady.

OK, forget the lady part. Did he look pregnant?

But he can't get pregnant.

That's not the point. Everyone here has done this exercise

and a lot of you haven't been pregnant.

In fact Sue can't have children can you Sue? No.

The point is, when you play a character it shouldn't matter that you share nothing in common with that character.

None of us are serial killers but to play one you have to become one,

you have to think like one, you have to

find the desire to kill and the belief that you have killed.

If you don't believe you're a serial killer neither will the audience.

I mean obviously you're not going to actually kill anyone

and obviously a man can't get pregnant but an actor can believe they're pregnant.

Did you believe you were pregnant? Did you truly feel a child kicking in your stomach?

Well I tried, but I couldn't manage it. I think maybe I was doing the physical actions

instead of letting the belief that I was pregnant give me the attributes,

or the the physical attributes, of actually being pregnant.

Exactly! It was a good try though. We're all still learning.

I'm not picking on him Margaret, these exercises are difficult.

But I truly think that he could make us believe he's a pregnant lady

if he believes it himself.

Right, everyone up. Next week we're going to be nine months pregnant.

We're all going to give birth and it's going to get noisy.

So let's practice our vocal warm-ups. Hands on your stomachs and breathe in...

Give me a nice deep laugh.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Haaaaaaaa!

Yeah mate. No, she was a right fucking skank.

Yeah, but she let me do her up the shitter.

Oh yeah, no, no, no, don't give me any of that "you've got a daughter" shit.

At the end of the day having a woman around like her you know,

teaches the kids a solid lesson right?

Stay in school, don't do drugs

And then you don't have to have someone fuck you up the arse for a couple of quid.

Yeah, yeah, all right, yeah, see you Monday yeah?

Fuck that. I could turn up pissed and still sell more cars than you.

Oh yeah, yeah see you Monday. Twat.

Thanks

It's not a particularly good one but it's all right.

I wouldn't know the difference, I could drink any old rubbish.

I think if a lot of people were honest they'd probably say the same.

Yeah probably.

Tastes all right to me.

I must say this is very relaxed, not quite what I was expecting.

What were you expecting?

Well I'm not sure really.

Something like a doctor's surgery perhaps?

Yeah perhaps um something more clinical maybe.

It's like that in a few places but I prefer a more relaxed approach.

I like to subvert expectations.

For example, to look at me you wouldn't think that I like to practice ballet, but I do.

I want you to feel as comfortable as possible and tell me whatever you like.

Don't hold back. I can assure you I've heard it all before, I'm not easily offended.

I don't know where to start, um...

I need your help.

Why do you need my help?

Because I'm gonna fucking kill myself.

I see

I'm gonna kill myself now or I'm gonna kill someone else.

Someone else?

Yeah I know I will, if I don't do myself in.

Who are you gonna kill?

I don't know, anybody. I don't fucking care. Everyone makes me sick.

I've met a lot of people in the same state as you John and there hasn't been one that I haven't been able to help.

I don't know Carl, I'm so fucked up.

I know.

I don't just fuck myself up, I fuck up everyone around me.

You don't need to worry about telling me the things that you've done.

I'm not here to judge, I have no right. I've done things that will churn your stomach.

What sort of things?

Trust me John. Think of the worst thing that you've done and mine will beat it.

I'm not so sure. You know, I've been so loaded up on whatever shit I could get a hold of and...

I've done unspeakable things.

It breaks me into a cold sweat just thinking about it.

I was homeless for a while. I lived in an abandoned warehouse with a few other people.

There was a girl in the group, she was in her 30s, looked about 50, permanently whacked out on glue.

One night, for no other reason other than we could, a couple of us raped her with a wine bottle.

Shit.

I still have nightmares about it now. Every time I wake up I have to run to the bathroom to be sick.

I can see why.

So you understand, you can tell me anything. I won't judge you.

* A noise of something being knocked over *

What was that?

What?

That noise.

I didn't hear anything.

It sounded like something fell over.

Don't worry about it.

Let's concentrate on your suicidal thoughts. See if you can put into words why you want to kill yourself.

Yeah, OK.

I want out. I want to go to bed for good.

I've had enough.

I've had enough of people, I've had enough of places and I've had enough of myself.

I've got nothing pleasant in my head. The only thoughts that hold my attention are dark ones.

Everything else bores me.

I try. God knows I try, but I just can't think pleasant thoughts.

I want to recapture that feeling of happiness, the happiness you feel as it as a child, you know, unthinking days.

You didn't worry about being alive, you just lived. Moment by moment.

Sure, you could be unhappy one moment but it didn't plague you. You just instinctively let that shit go and got on with having fun.

Shit just couldn't stick.

But I am no longer that non-stick kid and it is impossible to recapture how that felt.

It's the same for all of us, you're not alone with that.

We were all carefree once...

but you just have to grow up.

♪♪ Playful, classical music ♪♪

Nice throw Carl. Remember, don't let go the ball until your arm's fully extended.

I want to be able to throw as far as you.

You will when you're as big as me.

I don't think so. You're better than all the boys in big school and some of them are bigger than you.

You just need practice.

Come on, come on. Come here. Go on Max!

Oh my God! No one can throw as far as you!

Can I have a go?

Sure Midget, here you go.

Well that was shit.

Yeah, that was shit.

Do you know why parents live through their children?

Because they're trying to recapture that joy of childhood?

Absolutely. It's their way of getting through this life, to keep on going, you just haven't found your way.

So you think life's shit and we're all just trying our best to get through it?

Yeah most of us. I mean, some of us do have our own moments.

Some people do fall in love, some people get the big job promotion and for a while they're happy to be alive.

To be just who they are right there and right then, but for the most part they're just bored and miserable, just like you are.

But people have moments of happiness.

Yeah

I want moments.

Why?

Having moments is better than being permanently bored and miserable.

Maybe, maybe not. I mean those moments could make the rest of the time seem more painful.

Take your perfect childhood for example. If you never had that, if you only ever knew boredom,

you wouldn't spend time trying to recapture those happy days. You'd just continue with your miserable life none the wiser.

Are you wanting a cigarette?

Oh it's all right, I can wait.

See, this is part of your problem.

You've got to learn to just please yourself. Don't wait until you think it's all right, just do it.

Look after number one. Come on, we'll both go for one. We'll go out in the courtyard. It's lovely out there.

Bring your wine.

♪♪ Playful, classical music ♪♪

Will you do me a favour Carl?

What?

Kill me.

No I won't.

Why not?

I've only just started to get to know you. It would be a shame to kill you now.

Are you happy Carl?

Yeah, I've had my moments

Tell me about them.

Yeah all right, I think it'll do you good.

Yeah. I was in love once.

And she loved you?

Yeah she did eventually.

But I was pretty fucked up at the time, it was the anniversary of my brother's death.

Your brother died?

Yeah. We were really close, but I was young and the anniversary always hit me really hard.

In fact, that was the time that I met Julia in a bar, drowning my sorrows, thinking about my brother.

The first thing she said to me was "look at the face on you, you soppy bastard."

I was going to turn around and just tell her to fuck off but I couldn't do it.

There was no malice. No aggression. Just a big beaming smile and delicious rosy cheeks.

It wasn't a face that you could say fuck off to, so instead I just asked if she wanted to join me for a drink.

She said no.

No?

I don't blame her. She was with friends and I was a miserable git drowning my sorrows on my own.

So how did you get together?

We bumped into each other at the bus stop and we just started chatting. We got the same bus and we decided to go for a coffee together.

We shared so much in common and it was the first time I felt really comfortable with a girl. I mean,

I don't really have female friends. They make me a bit nervous.

Nervous?

Yeah.

I mean... not nervous but...

we obviously share more things in common with those of the same sex

and I just like hanging around people with the same interests as me.

So I've never really had any use for female friends and I've always been wary of men that have, you know?

Why do they have so much in common with women? I mean...

Gay guys I can understand having close female friends but straight men? Just seems a bit weird to me.

They're obviously perverts.

Or sad cases,

or they've had the shit bullied out of them by the other boys when they were at school, you know?

I didn't know it was a crime to be bullied.

No it's not, but then again most of the kids that were bullied at school were bullied for a reason.

They were a bit weird.

I mean, when I think back to my school, all the kids that were bullied, they were kiddie fiddlers in the making.

That's a bit harsh! I was bullied at school.

Well, I didn't mean you. You're the exception.

You know, probably wrong place wrong time.

But if you think about it, most kids that were bullied were just a bit weird.

...covered in jizzum

I was bullied at school. I didn't deserve it.

I was a rather talented girl but nonetheless I pretty much enjoyed all the same things all the other girls liked.

And I did my best not to stick out, you know, in spite of my talents,

but a group of girls just took a dislike to me.

I don't know why.

Probably jealous.

They made my life hell.

I don't dwell on it.

I know it certainly wasn't my fault and there was nothing I could do about it, it was just one of those things.

It hasn't done me any harm.

Anyway, what do you think of this barman? Quite charming isn't he?

If he buys me one more drink...

I'll let him fuck me up the arse.

Single or double? Double

And then it hit me. This is actually what love is.

Finding a female who can be your best friend and they have lived in their own female world and yet they share your feelings and your thoughts

and it's like you're the same person and bam! I was in love.

We hardly spent a day apart from each other after that day.

So that was your moment?

Yeah

But like all moments it didn't last?

Yeah

What happened to her?

We just got bored.

Bored?

Yeah, our moment had passed and we just went back to the mundane.

Let's get another glass of wine.

So, are you still with Julia?

No.

How come?

Well, one night I put a pillow over her face and held it there until she stopped breathing.

What?

I'm just joking, we just split up and went our separate ways.

You just split up?

Yeah

Nothing happened to make you split up?

No like I said, we just got bored. There seemed no reason for us to be staying together.

Are you Michael's brother?

Yeah

He wasn't at school today, is he all right?

Yeah he was at some National school athletics thing, he was running and stuff.

Oh was that today?

Yeah.

I bet he got Gold. Tell him Becky thought he'd get Gold.

Tell him Holly said Hi. Tell him Becky said Hi, tell him I missed him at school

Yeah, tell him I missed him too.

Tell him Holly will give him a BJ No don't say that.

What's a BJ?

Yeah Becky, what's a BJ? Why don't you tell him what a BJ is?

It's just a kiss on the cheek. Tell him we'll both give him a kiss on the cheek.

Tell him we'll both give him a BJ.

Becky stop it, he's just a little kid, it's not funny.

I know what you're trying to do here Carl.

What am I trying to do John?

You think you're so fucking clever but you're not.

I'm not following you.

You're trying to make me feel like everyone else. Like I'm not fucked up.

You put on your smart middle-class clothes, brush your hair all neat and tidy, make yourself all respectable.

I'm not buying it. You talk in your nice voice, in your respectable clothes and it's bullshit.

You know, when I come in here, one of the first things you tell me is how you raped a homeless woman with a bottle.

Trying to make out that I'm not sick and that we all think this stuff.

That you are like me. I'm not buying it.

The dead brother, the girlfriend you got bored of, it fits together all too nicely.

You want me to talk to you so you want me to think I'm just like you, but I'm not.

You expect me to see someone like you looking all respectable, but really you're as fucked up as me?

But you're not like me and this is just bollocks.

Am I supposed to believe that everyone is like me but they just carrying on pretending everything's just dandy?

Obviously I want you to talk, John.

If you want someone to open up to you then you've got to create a connection with them. That's simple psychology.

So everything you said is bollocks?

No, I'm just purposefully selecting things that I think that you'll empathise with.

So you're a rapist who can't connect with women?

No. I used to be a rapist that can't connect with women.

You've never been like me.

You've never been like me. You know when you said about the homeless woman that you raped with a bottle, do you know what I felt?

What?

Excited. Fucking excited. That's the kind of shit I think about all the time and I mean all the fucking time.

There's lots of people out there like me are there? I don't fucking think so.

You don't know shit Carl.

If you knew what was happening to me you'd encourage me to kill myself, I am a fucking monster.

You're right John, I don't know what's going on in your head, so why don't you tell me?

Bored, perverted, psychotic, neurotic, schizophrenic, addictive, angry, lonely, I am all of these things and more.

Which would be fine if I could enjoy being in any of these states, but I can't.

I would much rather be one of those serial killers you read about, at least they seem to get a fucking kick out of the things they think.

But I'm not so lucky. I'd just rather be dead, so fuck you and your bullshit stories, you can't help me. Your little word games aren't gonna work.

I'm afraid you've made a mistake, this is one person you can't help.

Everything I've told you, you've asked me to tell you.

I said I've done some terrible things and you asked me what kind of things so I told you about the homeless woman.

I said I've had moments and you asked me what kind of moments so I very kindly told you about Julia.

Now you seem to think that I'm purposely lying to you and trying to hide things from you.

I said that I met a woman and that we fell in love.

I then said that we got bored of each other and we split up. It's not an unusual story. Every other person you meet will tell you the same one.

Yet you chose not to believe me, which is fine.

Now, it's up to you if you want to believe everything that I'm saying to you, but I can assure you I'm not playing any games.

If you don't want to hear anything about my life, that's absolutely fine but if that is the case then don't ask me about my life.

I'm more than happy to hear stories about your life. In fact, that's the reason that I'm here in the first place.

Maybe your stories are true. They just seem strange you know, coming from you.

I thought you were trying to manipulate me or something. You know, with the thing about the bottle and all and...

I thought you were just trying to say it as a way to make me think we're the same. I dunno, I just...

I find it hard to believe that someone who looks and sounds like you has ever been that fucked up. You seem too normal.

You think I'm normal?

Kind of.

You know it's not normal for a therapist to tell his patients that he's raped a homeless woman with a wine bottle.

No, I don't suppose it is.

No.

I'm sorry I had to go at you, I just want you to realise I'm in quite a state.

I think I got angry at the Julia story.

I got jealous. You see, I couldn't have that connection you two had. I've never had it with anyone. I'm incapable of it.

That's something you can do and I can't and no matter how fucked up you've been you've still had that.

I was jealous.

It's understandable.

Sorry.

It's all right, there's no need to apologise. If you want to say something, just say it.

Am I right in thinking that you believe it's all right to say and do as you please?

No.

Would you mind telling me the name of your mathematics teacher?

Mr. Furrington.

Mr. Furrington?

Yes.

Is that difficult to pronounce?

No.

In which case I can only presume that what you called him today was a purposeful insult. What did you call him today?

I don't know.

I suggest you tell me or I am going to double your lashes.

We are up to six already, would you like me to make it 12?

What did you, purposefully today, on several occasions call Mr. Furrington?

Mr. Fucking Bum.

The trouble is, Carl, that you lack character.

You think it's funny to swear in front of your teachers and you're proud of yourself when the other boys laugh.

But they are only laughing at you. They are laughing because they know better than to do it themselves.

They are encouraging the weak to misbehave for their own amusement. They want to see you get into trouble.

And what reward do they give you? Nothing but their pathetic giggles.

And that is all the reward that this pathetic boy needs.

Your brother Michael has always been at the top of his class. He has always excelled, do you know why?

Because he does not allow himself to be manipulated by those with less character than himself.

You need more strength of character.

However, I will do you a favour. I will give you an exercise in strength of character.

I will give you the chance to have just the three original lashes I offered you before you lied to me.

If you do not flinch when I raise the ruler, then three lashes is all you will get.

If you flinch I will double it back to six, does that sound fair?

Yes, Sir.

Now keep your hands still and look me in the eye.

You really are a pathetic boy. Michael never flinched. Six it is.

You haven't enjoyed listening to anything that I've told you so why would you want to hear any more?

I'm sorry Carl, I shouldn't have said you were talking bollocks.

Don't worry. Like I said, I'm not easily offended.

Yeah. If you have my thoughts they'd bother you as well.

I don't think so. The fact that your thoughts trouble you mean that you're probably less disturbed than the rest of us.

What do you mean by that?

Your dark thoughts are sexual aren't they?

And violent.

I know.

Sometimes they're just sad, lonely and afraid. I don't mind those thoughts.

The sexual and violent ones don't make me want to cry, they make me feel sick.

They're the thoughts that tell me I should kill myself.

Let's talk about porn. Porn?

Yes. You do wank don't you?

Um... Yes John you do, we all do.

Yeah, I guess.

But it's that hardcore nasty shit that turns you on. Well it's...

Same for all of us. Look at the porn sites that you see on the internet.

It's damaged people being damaged by damaged people.

What?

Think about the sites that you see on the internet. It's not all beautiful girls in lingerie now is it?

There are millions of sites out there and they all advertise with the words 'bitch' or 'whore' or 'slut' or 'slag'.

If you look hard enough they'll probably be a site out there called "The Bitch Whore Slut Slags".

None of these sites are about making love to beautiful women.

They're not even about fucking them. They're about pain.

They're about damaging people, degrading them and leaving them used and abused.

And these sites relish that fact. They know what we want. They advertise the fact that they exploit people.

How is this supposed to help me?

I'm trying to show you that no matter how sick or diseased you think your mind is, your thoughts are no worse than anyone else's.

Anyway, back to porn.

Millions of men are logging onto sites to see women being hurt and degraded.

Every one of these sites has women being fucked in the arse and why do we want to see that?

Because we want to see the girl hurt.

Any soft-headed small-dicked bastard who tells you "it's the extra grip" thing, they're just talking shit.

We know it's uncomfortable to have something shoved up your arse and we want to see the girl uncomfortable.

And all the men always have huge cocks.

Is that for the lady's extra pleasure? No. It's for the lady's extra discomfort.

The larger the object shoved up an arse, the more painful it is.

Fisting! Also popular wanking material. We want to see men sticking their fists into women because that looks really fucking painful.

We want to see women covered in spunk, in their faces, on their lips and preferably in their eyes.

We want them to be uncomfortable, to look a mess and to be as degraded as possible.

And that's why there are websites dedicated to women fucking animals. Because let's face it, what's more degrading than fucking a pig?

Oh let's have a wank over this poor girl. A poor girl fucking a horse, even better!

Not only is there the indignity of fucking an animal, but an animal with a really big fucking dick.

Degrading and painful. What a mixture.

Not everyone gets turned on by this stuff.

You don't know that, they might do. Men wank over porn. That's not just a generalisation, that's a fact.

But not always women fucking horses.

No, but their thinking's the same. You see it's all about damaged people.

We know that the girls on these sites aren't happy little bunnies living their sweet little lives.

These girls are the used and the abused and we like it. These are the girls who didn't get enough love when they were kids.

The girls who turned to drink and drugs.

The girls who want money and attention and don't care how they get it.

They're willing to fuck any old stranger and swallow any old fucker's spunk and be referred to as cheap fucking sluts because that's what they think they are.

We know it's no little girl's dream to be gang-banged on film by strangers but that is part of the turn-on.

These are the girls that didn't get their fairytale happy ending.

There they are spread-eagled in front of us, degrading themselves for just a little bit of cash.

This is what we're wanking off over.

We may not be watching a woman fuck a horse, but we might as well be.

Maybe you're right.

I am right.

We're all damaged.

We feel so worthless that we wank over people that we feel are more desperate than us.

The fact that those girls were willing to do that and didn't even need to be forced it just makes it all the more tragic.

We're worse than rapists if you think about it.

You can't get turned on by somebody that you actually like. Try as you might, you can't masturbate thinking about them.

It has to be a girl that you think is just as damaged as you, because she'll be willing to do anything.

Even with a sad creature like you.

Yeah. The child in us is dead and all that's left is a damaged shell.

So whether you're a Peeping-Tom, or a flasher, or a self-harmer or an alcoholic,

or a crack addict, or a paedophile, or a rapist, or a serial killer, or just a plain old-fashioned wanker,

there's one thing that we all have in common. That sweet innocent little child is gone and what's left is a lot darker.

It doesn't make me feel any better to think that everyone is as fucked up as me.

In fact, it makes me feel that my life is even more pointless.

What's wrong with pointless?

It's no fun.

We don't all live in a continuous world of fun, John.

But people have fun.

What's stopping you from having fun?

I'm stopping me from having fun.

People have happiness because they have things they want and there is nothing I want.

I don't want a big job promotion, I don't even want a fucking job.

I don't want a girl. I don't even like people.

I drink, I take drugs and I think dark thoughts because nothing else interests me.

OK, maybe people spend most of their time bored and think sick thoughts, but at least they're capable of feeling more.

Some people spend their time trainspotting or birdwatching. They could be happy out in the rain with a pair of binoculars and I can't even be happy with a room full of naked girls and a bucket of cocaine.

Maybe no one can recapture that feeling of childhood, but...

I know they're having a better time than me.

Yes, you're right, some people are a lot easier to please than others.

Some people do actually have fun bird watching. Others need to climb mountains, some need to throw themselves off mountains and some need to smoke a shit load of crack.

They've found ways of dealing with their miserable lives. Unfortunately you just haven't found your way.

I've told you, nothing interests me.

What about your dark thoughts?

What about them?

They interest you.

What do you mean?

Your dark thoughts interest you.

You said that you drink and take drugs and think dark thoughts because nothing else interests you, so that must mean that they do interest you.

But I don't enjoy thinking them.

I think you should stop trying to recapture your childhood feelings and start learning to enjoy your new adult ones.

I mean, that is kind of why you're here.

How do you mean?

Why are you here?

Because I read your advert.

OK and what was it about the advert that captured your attention?

It described a lot of things that I've been feeling. It said you'd be able to help me.

How did you think I was gonna do that?

Because it fucking said you'd be able to help me.

The ad guaranteed you'd be able to help me, and that's why I'm here.

That's right it did, but how did you think I was gonna manage that?

Well I don't know. I thought maybe you'd talk to me and try and persuade me not to kill myself.

Why would I persuade you not to kill yourself if all that you think you're gonna feel is nothing but misery?

Maybe killing yourself would be a good idea.

I dunno. Yeah, maybe it is, but what is your point?

The point is I think you can have fun. I think you can feel more.

And I think that deep down you feel that you can feel more and that's why you haven't killed yourself.

But how can I feel more?

By enjoying the feelings that you have already.

What are you saying?

Your dark thoughts. You need to learn to enjoy them.

Not everybody wants to become a parent, not everybody wants to throw themselves off a mountain.

Not everybody wants to shoot up heroin but some people do and that's OK. That's their way of getting through this life

and living out your dark thoughts could be yours.

I don't wanna live them out.

I think you do.

Continue the conversation and answer the question or I will shoot you in the fucking head.

Why could you not have fun in a room full of naked girls and a bucket full of cocaine?

Because... because I'd want to take my aggression out on the girls and use the cocaine to block out my existence

Yeah? What's wrong with that?

It's sick.

I know it is, but so what?

Are you suggesting I go and kick the shit out of some girls?

Yes, if you want to.

You can't continue to be bored just because your interests are morbid.

You can't stop having fun just because you need a little bit extra stimulation compared to other people.

Nothing. The only person you've got a moral obligation towards is yourself.

I'm really sorry if it affects anybody but it's just unlucky. In the same way that it's unlucky that you were born the way that you were.

Are you suggesting that

I should attack and abuse people if the idea just pops in my head?

Yes.

Thank you for your time and all, but i'm just gonna go.

OK. Nobody's holding you here, but before you go I just want to show you something.

The moment that you leave I'm gonna shoot her in the head.

Why are you gonna shoot her, Carl?

Oh I would have thought that was obvious. If I let her go she's gonna go to the police.

What have you done to her?

Nothing. Well, nothing except knocking her out, kidnapping her, binding and gagging her.

OK good. Now I believe you, now we're getting somewhere.

What do you want from me?

I don't want anything from you. You're the one who asked me for help, and that's what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna help you.

I've been helping people for a long time now so why don't you just fucking let me help you?

Christ knows none of this is for me, this is all for you.

You wanted my help, now you're just spitting it back in my face.

You're just like my fucking brother. Too busy whinging and not busy enough getting the most out of his shitty life.

Even although he was brave enough to put a rope around his neck he was still too chicken shit to take what he wanted

and why? Because he didn't want people saying anything behind his back and he didn't want our mother getting hurt.

What a fucking pussy.

And now here you are, exactly the same. Whinging about how shit life is.

And how you wish you were dead instead of taking your share of the excitement.

You want this, you want that, but you don't want it happening to others.

Oh diddums. Poor little Johnny doesn't want to hurt anybody.

Poor little Johnny would rather take his own life.

Little Johnny would rather slit his own little wrists.

Let me tell you something. Little Johnny is a pathetic little cunt.

Sometimes I wonder what I do it for. Honestly I do.

Can I say something to you Carl?

Yes of course you can.

And you promise not to shoot her?

As long as you don't lie to me.

I think you need help as well. This isn't a normal thing to do.

Fuck normal. What the fuck is normal anyway?

Well it isn't kidnapping a woman and holding a gun to her head now is it?

But it is for some people. Me for example.

Bird watching isn't normal for you, but it is for some people.

I don't get bird watching either. Nothing on this planet seems more dull and boring. If you ask me you've got to be a bit fucking strange to do that.

But it works for some people and who are we to argue?

Jumping out of a plane, taking a shitload of drugs - these activities probably seem more understandably stimulating to you, like they do to me.

Yet you're one of the people who still needs more than even those activities, and so am I.

It may not be normal, but what is fucking normal? Not you, not me, not anybody.

But those other activities don't harm anyone else. This woman has done nothing to you.

Don't lie to me John or I will shoot her in the fucking head.

All right. All right, I have. But fantasising about it and doing it are two different things.

How are they?

One's real and the other's not.

I don't get what you mean

What is the difference between fantasising about something and doing it, except for the fact that one's real and the other isn't?

Nobody gets hurt in a fantasy.

But you have to believe that they do.

What?

For a fantasy to work, you have to believe that it's actually real. You don't get turned on by the concept of something, you have to believe it's actually happening.

When using a sex phone line, the people using the line need to know that the woman on the other end is who she says she is

and is doing what she says she's doing.

If you don't believe that your fantasy is happening then you don't get turned on by it.

Maybe, but I still don't get what your point is.
