Attenberg
Did you like it?
I've never had something wriggling
in my mouth before.
How does my tongue feel?
Like a slug.
It's disgusting.
You have to breathe, or you'll choke.
Should I open again?
Half open.
That's it.
Okay, get in there.
You're all slobbery.
If it's not wet in there,
it won't work.
Stick out your tongue.
Rub it against mine.
Breathe through your nose.
How do people do it?
Do you want to learn, or not?
No.
Open.
No.
Open.
No.
What do you mean, no? Kiss me.
Leave me alone. I'm all out of spit.
Some other time.
See, you had spit after all.
Check the tires at the gas station.
Pump them up if they need it.
You've got a passenger today.
An engineer.
Arrives at 10. You'll drive him
around for a while.
Sure thing.
Your dad, is he doing okay?
We started his treatments.
They admitted him?
No, we go back and forth.
Something like huge prickly-pear trees.
Except instead of prickly pears,
they were hung with pricks.
What do you mean?
Big, small, medium-sized...
wrinkly...
erect and milky and juicy ones.
Some bent to the left,
some to the right,
some with foreskins, others without.
Trees with pricks. Prick-trees.
Some were small and shriveled,
but swayed slightly...
as if they were breathing.
Did you taste them?
The hard, juicy ones.
A strange taste.
Like bitter almond.
And an intense smell of spunk.
What is "spunk"?
Semen stink.
What's that like?
Like a thousand men jerked off in
the same spot.
And you like that?
You know, it's one of
those things you like,
but at the same time
makes you feel guilty.
I don't know...
Seeing genitals in your sleep
is a bad omen.
It terrifies me.
Because you're ignorant, that's why.
They're like those animals you love,
in those documentaries by
Sir Attenberg.
Sir David Attenborough.
They're like little animals too.
They act with a mind of their own,
it's just that they're
attached to men's bodies.
Do you ever imagine me naked?
No, never.
A father's mind represses such
thoughts about his own daughter.
Is it taboo?
There's a reason why we
mammals have taboos.
It ensures the propagation of our
species, without defects.
I have imagined you naked.
Shame on you.
It bothers me as an image,
but I don't reject it.
I prefer to think of you...
as a man without a penis.
You're right.
Some things should stay taboo.
- To the hotel?
- Right.
Can you be here tomorrow
morning at eight?
I don't work tomorrow morning.
Only the afternoon.
Four o'clock at the factory, then?
- Okay.
- Bye.
Bye.
You smell like bleach.
And you smell like gasoline.
Eat your pot-roast, mommy's girl.
I'm not a mommy's girl.
I don't have a mom.
Daddy's girl, then.
How's Spyros?
You mean Mister Spyros.
It annoys me when you
become so familiar.
Bella, you little slut.
Do you want more bread?
There's a lookout sitting
on that tree...
and he's already seen me.
There is more...meaning, and...
mutual understanding, in
exchanging a glance with a gorilla,
than any other animal I know.
And so if ever there
was a possibility of...
escaping the human condition,
and living imaglnatively...
in another creature's world,
It must be with the gorilla.
You still have her photos.
You were good together.
Keep this.
And this.
And this.
And this, and that's it.
If I drive too fast, tell me.
Okay.
Eye to eye
Hand in hand
My heart will be happy
Without fear of tomorrow
There will be a day
When my soul
Is without sorrow
The day when
I will also have
Someone who loves me
Like the boys and girls my age
I will soon know what love is
Like the boys and girls my age
I wonder when that day will come
Eye to eye
Hand in hand
They head off in love
Without fear of tomorrow
Yes, but I walk the streets alone
My soul in sorrow
Yes, but I walk alone
Because no one loves me
My days, like my nights
Are the same in every way
Without joy and filled with boredom
With no one to whisper
"I love you" in my ear
All the boys and girls my age
Make plans together for their future
All the boys and girls my age
Will know what it means
to love someone...
Goal.
You know babifoot.
"Babifoot"?
Foosbal .
Goal.
Goal.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Will you ever get married?
I don't think so.
Don't you like men?
Not particularly.
I don't blame you.
You don't like them either?
- I prefer women.
- Me too.
Not that way, not like you.
I don't desire them.
I have never desired.
I've never done it with anyone.
I find it disgusting.
Repulsive.
A thing inside me, moving in and out
like a piston...jamming me...
I refuse to imagine you've got
one of those things too.
I don't have one of those things.
Never did.
You really are an extraterrestrial...
just as I thought.
Nutless.
Gutless.
Heartless.
Fartless.
Snotless.
Spitless.
Witless.
Have you ever desired anyone,
since mom?
Yes.
Have you done it?
What?
You know...
That. The "piston."
Yes.
You disappoint me.
- A little compassion.
- I hate compassion.
I'd like you to start living
along with others.
That's not how you taught me to live.
Why are you asking me to do it now?
What are you doing here?
I had a passenger.
Want to come up?
For a beer?
I've got to take the Volvo back.
Just for a little bit.
What's your name?
Marina.
You like Suicide.
Yes. A lot.
Me too.
Alan Vega's a god, right?
Yes.
You're too young to be
listening to Suicide.
What's your favorite song?
"Be Bop Kid."
"Surrender"?
It's good.
A little melodramatic, but good.
Want to sit down?
Here.
Beer?
No.
- Can I kiss you?
- What?
- Am I doing it right?
- Fine.
Do you like it?
Very much. You?
I've never done t before.
With a man.
With a woman?
With my best friend.
She's very experienced.
- You don't smoke.
- No.
You taste nice.
You too.
Keep going.
I met someone.
Who is it?
Someone.
Someone you like?
I think so.
- Do you want me to meet him?
- No.
Then why are you telling me?
I don't have anyone else to tell.
- You have Bella.
- She'd flirt with him.
She flirts with you too.
Haven't you noticed?
Bullshit.
Don't swear.
I'm not.
You are.
Fine.
You want to fight.
Your problem is Bella, or the
guy you met?
My problem is your swearing.
I hardly ever swear.
And I feel awkward about all this.
All what?
Do I know him?
- He's not from here.
- You like him?
I already said. Yes.
Does he like you?
- No.
- How do you know that?
I'm guessing.
But does he know he likes you?
No.
- Are you going to tell him?
- No.
I think you should.
I don't agree.
Fine.
Don't tell him, then.
OK.
I like women's breasts.
The way they bulge under blouses.
I can't take my eyes off them.
It must make the women
feel uncomfortable.
But I don't lust after their breasts.
I admire them.
If I had dreams like yours,
I'd dream of breast-trees
instead of penis-trees.
Tit-trees. Prick-trees.
Keep on correcting my Greek...
idiot.
Do you like my tits?
Yes. They're very beautiful.
