I wore white cos I wore black when I got
here, and I thought you'd like this.
But if you like red, I'll wear red.
I like red.
Look.
Looks like blood!
I haven't the slightest idea.
Yeah, I remember.
It really doesn't matter, anyway.
- It's a good-looking saddle, Luther.
- Glad you like it.
It's good leather and it's comfortable.
Good morning.
I'll see you around.
What would you like
to have for dinner?
Cook whatever you do best.
Give me a suggestion.
Doesn't matter as long as it doesn't
have a lot of grease in it.
- Hess?
- Yes?
Did I hear you say
you didn't believe in marriage?
No, I never said any such thing.
Archie, you forgot the wine.
Madam! Dr Green keeps
a very good wine cellar.
Good. Where is it?
for the doctor to return.
He doesn't allow anyone in the cellar.
The only time I go... is with him.
Archie, I need the wine.
OK, I'll tell you what we'll do.
You tell me where the wine cellar is
and I'll go and get the wine,
and I won't tell Dr Green
that you told me.
- But Mrs Meda...
- Archie!
I said I need the wine.
Do I make myself clear?
Very well... madam.
Thank you.
My pleasure.
Hey, I'm sorry.
You did make a special effort
for dinner tonight, didn't you?
Archie cooked.
I couldn't get it together.
Are you all right?
I just couldn't fix dinner.
The soup's very good.
I know you killed my husband...
I beg your pardon.
...because you have his body
in the freezer in the basement.
Will you clear the plates, Archie?
We don't seem to be very hungry.
When I was
about 10 or 12 years old,
my favorite time of the year was winter
because of the snow.
And I made the best snowballs
in all of Boston.
I was in the best snowball fights,
and I always won.
This particular clay,
it was just snowballs flying,
it was all you could see,
that was all you could feel.
Some hit hard, some hit soft
and fell down behind your collar.
You could feel it in your muffler.
And I got home... about 6:30 or 7:00,
cos I'd been fighting
since 3:
00 in the afternoon.And my mother said,
"Where have you been?"
I said, "I've been having this tremendous
snowball fight, it's really fun.
"And I beat everybody, and everybody
beat me. It was a tremendous day."
And she slapped my face and said,
"Where have you been?
"Someone said they saw you
being chased by a boy."
I said, "We were all
chasing each other,
"because we were having
a snowball fight."
And she said,
"You are a liar... and a slut."
And I said, "I swear to you
that I was having a snowball fight."
And she didn't believe me.
It was as though I was a disease.
I have a brother that's ten years older than
I am and a sister that's eight years...
...older than I am.
So that I was obviously an accident.
And it was, "Ganja, I came down
with Ganja," you know?
And I think that day, I decided
that I was a disease.
And I was gonna give her
a full case of it.
That whatever it was that I was,
she was gonna have it.
Maybe because she hurt me so badly.
All that time up till then,
I really worked
for her to say, "I love you.
"You're a wonderful girl, Ganja."
She could never, ever say that.
The only thing she could ever bring
herself to say was that I was beautiful.
And I loathed my beauty for that..
...because she found it appealing.
But that was a very decisive clay
in my life,
because that day I decided
that I would provide for Ganja always.
Do whatever had to be clone.
Take whatever steps had to be taken.
But always take care of Ganja.
Dearly beloved, we are assembled
here in the presence of God
to join this man and this woman
in holy marriage,
which is instituted of God,
regulated by his commandments,
blessed by our lord savior,
Jesus Christ,
to be held in honor among all men...
...in all love and honor,
in all duty and service,
in all faith and tenderness,
to live with her and cherish her,
according to the ordinance of God
and the holy bond of marriage?
- 'Please answer "I will".'
- 'I will.'
Ganja, will thou have this man
to be thy husband
and will thou pledge thy troth to him
in all love and honor,
in all duty and service,
in all faith and tenderness,
to live with him and cherish him,
according to the ordinance of God
and the holy bond of marriage?
- I will.
You still think I'm psychotic?
Of course.
Of course?
And the fact that you think I'm
psychotic doesn't frighten you?
Man...
Everybody's some kind of freak.
Everybody I know is into something.
You know?
You're into horror movies,
I can dig it.
When it gets too heavy and I can't cut it,
believe me, you'll be the first to know.
Meanwhile...
...let's celebrate the divine art...
...and follow Nature.
Or let's follow Nature
In all 69 positions?
That's called "taking care of business".
Is that what it's called?
Why don't you kiss me?
You know I want you to live forever?
The way you're acting, you'd figure
I was gonna live forever.
No, I mean I really want you
to live forever.
'I had a strange dream last night.
'The only perversions that
can be comfortably condemned
'are the perversions of others.
'I will persist and survive
without God's or society's sanction.
'I will not be tortured,
'I will not be punished,
I will not be guilty.'
'The blood of our lord, Jesus Christ,
which was shed for thee
'preserve thy body and soul
for everlasting life.'
'Drink this in remembrance that
Christ's blood was shed for thee.
'And be thankful.'
Ganja...
Here.
Take this, it'll help you sleep.
I'm sick.
I'll be gone for a while.
You'll be all right until this evening.
We're having a guest for dinner.
I think you need a little distraction.
You've got to understand that
I won't let anything happen to you.
How do you know Hess?
He was a volunteer at my center.
- What kind of a center is it?
- A community recognition center.
For people of all ages?
For people of all ages.
All over.
'What do you have?
I mean, any kind of dance classes?'
We have dance classes,
swimming, all kinds of...
- He's alive!
- No!
- Hess, no! He is alive!
- No!
- He's alive!
- No!
Why am I always cold?
I don't know.
Are you always cold?
Grown used to it.
What are you reading?
It's a guide to our destruction.
A solution.
Helgda, fourth queen of Myrthia.
"If you worship any god whatsoever,
"and you believe this god to be good,
"and if this god in which you trust
be destroyed
"by forces dangerous
to the survival of love...
"...and it is the implement
by which this god was destroyed...
"...for this is the symbol
of the destruction of life,
"does cast a shadow on the heart,
"then he shall be released
into the bosom of his creator,
"having suffered and tasted
the blood of the womb of nature.
"He may sleep in her lap forever.
"Amen."
If the shadow of the cross
