OK. I want you to tell me
what these fellas look like.
- The little guy was kinda funny-Iookin'.
- In what way?
- I don't know. Just funny-Iookin'.
- Can you be any more specific?
I couldn't really say.
He wasn't circumcised.
- Was he funny-Iookin' apart from that?
- Yah.
So, you were having sex
with the little fella, then?
- Anything else you can say about him?
- No.
Like I say, he was funny-Iookin'.
More than most people, even.
- What about the other fella?
- He was older.
- He looked like the Marlboro Man.
- Oh, yah?
Yah. But maybe I'm saying that
cos he smoked a lot of Marlboros.
- Like a subconscious type of thing.
- Oh, yah, that can happen.

Come on.
Come on!
Fuck. Fuck.
Fuck! Fuck!
