The Piano Teacher Page #4

What will all this open up for me?

Maybe you'd open your cultured

mouth and comment on this sh*t.

"If you catch me

disobeying any of your orders,

"hit me, please,

"even with the back of your hand

on my face.

"Ask me why I don't cry out

to mother

"or why I don't fight back.

"Above all, say things like that,

"so that I realise

just how powerless I am."

What's going on in there?

Open up! Move that chest.

Don't you want to let her in?

Do you want me

to hit you in front of her?

Calm down!

Be quiet and watch the TV!

Open up or you'll be sorry.

Stop making a fuss!

Incredible!

Do you have no sense of decency?

Invading people's homes like this.

The sheer nerve of it!

Are you angry with me?

I hope you're not.

It's not very well written, I know.

I'm a pianist, not a poet.

After all,

love is built on banal things.

Think it over.

You have my phone number.

Like I said,

I want everything you want.

I have all we need.

But it can wait till tomorrow.

Aren't you talking to me?

Do I disgust you?

That's not necessary.

The urge to be beaten

has been in me for years.

I waited for you, you know?

It's not a joke, all I wrote.

You know that.

From now on, you give the orders.

From now on,

you choose what I am to wear.

What colour do you prefer?

You never said.

You're not talking to me?

You're angry?

Say something then.

You're sick.

You need treatment.

If you want to hit me, hit me.

I don't want to soil my hands.

No one would touch your sort,

even with gloves on.

I swear I loved you.

You don't even know what it is.

Right now, you repulse me.

F*** it.

...came to North America

with the Spanish.

Left to roam free,

they became the famous Mustang.

today's cowboys' most loyal

companion is the quarter horse.

Very fast over short distances

and with good stamina...

You really are quite shameless.

What have you done with him?

Is he still in your room?

It wouldn't surprise me.

Nothing surprises me any more.

But you can do what you want.

At your age.

Good Lord.

All those sacrifices for this.

That's what you get in reward.

You carry on like that.

You can set up a bordello here.

Who cares

what the neighbours think!

As always, you do as you like!

I love you.

Stop that! Have you gone insane?

Don't be so filthy,

you're out of your mind!

Shut up. I love you.

I love you, too.

But stop this now.

You're mad!

You're mad.

You're completely mad.

Go to sleep now.

You're going to need

all your energy.

Even if you're just standing in,

you must be well prepared.

You never know

who might be in the audience.

I saw the hairs on your sex.

Can I have a word?

Someone to see you.

Is that your little sister?

Don't run away, he's coming.

- What do you want?

- Speak to you.

I'm listening.

Not here, I can't.

Over there.

How did you manage to find me?

Just there.

Go on in.

Forgive me for the letter.

I'm an idiot. I shouldn't have

done that to you out of the blue.

Like you said,

we should have talked first.

Forgive me.

What are you doing?

Stop it. Get up now.

Come on.

Come on top of me.

- You want me, don't you?

- You're mad.

Come on. I love you.

I'll never write anything

you don't want.

You tell me what you want, okay?

Someone might come in.

You're being ridiculous.

Get up.

Hang on, let me do it.

Let me do it, I said.

I can't, not here.

Stop it. I can't.

- It doesn't matter.

- I can't do it here.

I know you want to protect us,

but I don't care if people catch us.

I don't care.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Come on.

You have to help me.

- I don't believe it.

- I'm sorry.

Don't look.

Don't look.

I must really disgust you.

- No woman ever puked it back.

- Sorry.

I don't know what happened.

I'm clean.

I'm all clean.

Like a baby.

Inside as well as outside.

For you and thanks to you, darling.

Do you like me calling you darling?

It's absolutely marvellous.

You must be patient.

I'll give you all the names,

we'll play all the games you want.

You know you really stink?

Sorry, you stink so much,

no one will ever come close to you.

You'd better leave town

until you don't stink so bad.

Rinse your mouth more often,

not just when my cock

makes you puke.

Who is it?

Open up.

- Open up now!

- What do you want?

I said, open the door!

Quiet!

You'll wake the whole building.

I'm opening it.

Don't do that again, okay?

- What do you mean?

- Shut up, you sad cow!

Just then,

I was under your window

and I was jerking off.

That's what you want, huh?

You want to...

Is that it?

You're a witch, a pervert!

You want to give everyone

your illness, don't you?

- Not me!

- I did apologise.

F*** your stupid apologies!

Wasn't last night enough for you?

Will you make this a habit?

Screaming the house down.

Go back to bed!

Walter, please.

- Get out!

- Be off with you! Now!

Not as you imagined?

We'll see about this.

The police will put a stop to this.

This is nothing to do with you.

Forget your mother.

We have time. We have all night.

Let's pick up where we left off.

Is this really

what you had imagined?

What then?

You'll be sorry.

Just because we're women doesn't

mean you'll get away with it.

Let me go.

This is unbelievable!

At least this one has a key.

Open up!

How about one

for your daughter's room?

That's that dealt with.

"As for my mother,

pay no attention to her." Yes?

Am I quoting you exactly?

"Give me lots of slaps, darling.

"Hit me hard..." No.

"Hit me around the face

and hit me hard."

At your service, dear lady.

Is that what you want?

Stop, please.

What then?

Not that. Stop, I beg you.

What are you doing?

- Shut it or I kill her!

- Murderer!

Stop.

- Where's the water?

- In the kitchen.

Don't think you'll get me going...

by flashing your pathetic body.

You know,

I do realise

that all this isn't very nice of me.

But if you're honest, you'll admit

you're partly responsible.

I mean, it's true...

Yes or no?

Yes.

Am I right?

Yes, Walter.

- Are you okay?

- I'm okay.

You can't get a guy going,

then take refuge on the ice.

Not my face! Not my hands!

Murderer!

Aren't you ashamed?

I'm begging you to stop.

Don't touch my daughter.

Leave my daughter alone.

I'm begging you.

Why do you do that?

I calm down

and you try to cross me.

Be a little cooperative, f*** it.

I'd be happy to learn to play.

But not if we only ever play

by your rules.

You can't delve around

inside people, then reject them.

Be nice to me, please.

You can't let me go just like that.

Stop, please.

You have to give a bit.

You can't leave me all alone now.

Love me, please.

Are you trying to tell me

I should go?

I'd appreciate it

if you tell no one.

Anyhow, it's for your own good.

You can't humiliate

a man that way and...

It's not possible.

Will you be alright?

Do you need anything?

Okay?

You know, love isn't everything.

See you, then.

Has he gone?

Say something. Has he gone?

Open the door.

What's wrong?

Talk to me, for God's sake.
