Pound of Flesh Page #8

She gave me this.

She found it in her daughter's room.

I f***ed that girl,

and how would I have known?

I don't want to remember,

because then it's over.

I got one chance in this life.

One chance to do something right.

You f***ed me up.

Patrick, why is everyone else to blame

for your miserable life except you?

Well, you're right.

Everyone's guilty, right?

Is everyone guilty?

It's eating you up, isn't it?

It's eating you up.

you'd better let it go...

Just forgive her, forgive yourself.

Say your prayers.

Actually, I'm an agnostic.

Then I'll see you in Hell.

Alas, what fools these mortals be.

You're dead.

What does it take to wake up to reality?

For some, an alarm clock,

for others a rooster.

But for me,

it took this near death experience.

A**hole.

Hello? Daddy! Where are you, Daddy?

Mommy! It's Daddy!

Daniella, please just listen to me.

Don't say anything.

I'm sorry I never told you the truth about,

what was going on with the students.

I was arrogant, I suppose. I want

to return home to you and Juliet...

...but I must pay for what I have done.

Noah?

Here is my epilogue.

My story ends on this beautiful beach

where it all began with my wife, Daniella.

I am alone in exile, repentant.

Whatever my crime,

I meant no harm, please understand.

Marina came to me for help, and I sent

her to a man I thought could help her.

Unfortunately,

I was very, very wrong.

I believed in a world

where sensuality could not be evil...

...and I've come to accept

that there is no "Camelot".

Off the record, do you think he was guilty?

I don't know.

I hope I will be remembered as a man who

loved teaching wisdom of Shakespeare...

...and the principals of pleasure.

Thank you.

I am proud to present our valedictorians,

Rachel Frye and Dionesia Costa.

My smooth journey at Barden

started as a bumpy road...

...until I met one brilliant professor...

...who inspired me to think

outside the box.

Sadly, he has retired, as you all know,

and we'll have to go it alone.

But I'm confident that his philosophy

will continue to guide me.

They do not love that do not show their love.

The course of true love

never did run smooth.

Love is a familiar.

Love is a devil.

There is no evil angel but love.

Here is my black book,

my memoir, if you like.

It is finished, but it is not over.

Remember, free love is

the greatest power in the universe.

Look ahead, and you will find it.

Good lord, am I dreaming?

Well, first of all, I would hate for

anybody to use that word "prostitution".

I think there's a clear difference

between what we do and prostitution.

I feel like I own my own body.

I absolutely do.

When you get in these kinds of situations,

you're not really in a position to say no...

...because you agreed

to do something.

It is flattering in a way that he saw

something in me that, you know...

...maybe I would be like the other girls,

and I could possibly do what they do...

...even though I don't really

know if I could, but...

If I were to give advice to a girl?

Don't do it if you don't need the money.

I'll just put it this way...

...I made enough in one night to

clear my tuition for six months.

Of course I had sex before

I got in to Barden College.

I'm sorry, but who doesn't have

sex before college?

I was definitely a virgin

when I came to Barden.

Now, it's questionable.

I think oral sex and sex are

the same emotional experience.

I know there's a lot of young women

who don't consider oral sex "sex"...

...and so they'll do that as long as

they can to "keep their virginity".

you know, I don't know if other things

really count as losing your virginity.

I thinkjust good

old-fashioned sex is... I'm sorry.

I myself am

probably out of the box...

Less probably, more definitely out of the box.

But I think it's great that people

have normal college sexual lives.

The male member

entering the female...

...that's pretty much

good old-fashioned sex.

I'm not sure I could comment on the most

out-of-the-box sexual experience I ever had.

I think part of the lesson that

I have learned is...

...and I'll quote Shakespeare...

It's my favorite quote, it's very applicable

to a lot of things, but especially this.

"Nothing is good or bad,

but thinking makes it so."

I think Professor Melville is a little old for

me, but he's definitely a sexy older man.

Sure...if I was, like, ten years older.

When he asked me about a scholarship,

I thought he was talking about a scholarship.

I had a lot of one-on-one

with Professor Melville.

If I ran into Professor Melville

on the street today...

...I would give him a hug.

I don't know, maybe I'll be at

a therapist's office in fifteen years...

...crying my eyes out about

my indiscretions...

...but right now I'm okay with it.

By the way, I'm Rachel...

...and I'm sure I'll be seeing you

out in the business world.

"Oh, God of Battles,

steel my soldiers hearts.

Possess them not with fear.

Take from them now

the sense of reckoning...

...if the opposed numbers

pluck their hearts from them...

...not today, oh Lord, oh not today.

Think not upon the fault my father

made in encompassing the crown.

I, Richard's body,

have interred new...

...and on it have bestowed

more contrite tears...

...than from it issued forced drops of blood.

Five hundred poor

or having nearly pay...

...who twice a day their withered hands

hold up toward heaven to pardon blood...

...and I have built two chapels...

...where the sad and solemn

priests sing still for Richard's soul.

More will I do,

but all that I can do is nothing worth...

...since my penitence comes

after all imploring pardon."
