Twelve Thirty Page #7
Martin bathed my father...
and ohanged
my father...
and wiped my father.
The day I met Martin
he told me he would
always take oare of me.
But most people break
promises and vows.
Values and intentions
are sideswiped
with abjeot oarelessness
as easy as one might
step on an ant,
so, I didn't put
muoh stook in it.
Until that day...
On that day I knew Martin
was the real MoCoy.
So...
I was able to put up
with his dallianoes,
with his ambivalenoe
towards my vagina,
with his lip-looked kisses,
Just beoause he was kind
to my father...
To a man, to a stranger,
to my father.
For a man who knew he'd be
dead by the time I turned 30
and went ahead
and had me anyway.
Generosity oan be
a freaky thing.
I'd have been pissed.
Why?
Did I say something wrong?
Well...
I'm about to put
your penis in my mouth,
and you have
the presenoe of mind
Bad form.
What shall I do now?
I'm sorry.
For what?
[Movie audio]
Whas wrong?
How oan you
make love to him?
Daddy?
Beoause he's the best lover
I've ever had.
And part of me
wants him baok.
And part of me wishes I'd
never had you and your sister
beoause I think thas
what soared him away.
I hate that last part, honey,
but is there.
I lost my virginity.
How do you feel about that?
Is that really all you have
to say to me?
Whad you say to Mel
when she told you
she lost hers?
She never told me.
As far as I'm oonoerned
she's still a virgin.
I was raped.
Are you hurt?
Is over.
I don't want to remember
any mistakes I made.
I think you
might know him.
He works with Mel.
I don't want to make
it any worse for you.
We oan take measures.
His father is a lawyer;
he'd rake me over the ooals.
I want to put it behind me.
A misadventure...
A oaloulated risk.
A olassio example
of trust gone awry.
I want to go
far away from here.
I want to olose my eyes
and piok out
a random spot on the globe
and go there...
And when I arrive
I want to meet
a wonderful man
and I want him
to make love to me.
Thas all I want.
I want you
to have that, too.
I'm okay.
gyneoologist tomorrow though.
Were you ever raped?
No.
But I had sex
when I didn't want to have it,
but even then it was
still out of love.
What oan I do
for you now?
Tonight?
I wish I oould tell you
it was something dramatio,
like...
when I first disoovered
your father's seoret.
But I knew
before we were married.
And he made me feel
like I was proteoted,
oan ever happen to a woman,
the worst thing,
the worst.
You know what impressed
me the most about Daddy
on our first date?
pregnanoies from time to time.
And I don't oare,
and I won't harbor
any guilt over that.
Who was he?
The guy, the man?
Irina told me
that sex was great.
It is.
Is so good.
Look, I figure I've got about
ten thousand days left.
Days are fleeting.
They demand
oonstant attention.
Years...
are ephemeral.
The oonoept of a year is beyond
most people's oapabilities,
but a day -
24 hours -
is the most relevant
thing in the world.
You oan always remember
what you did yesterday,
but you oan almost
never remember
what you did
a year ago today.
Thas orazy talk.
I want another relationship.
But I don't know
if I'll find someone
who shares my sense
of foolishness,
and restlessness and...
[Skipped item nr. 1494]
I don't know if I'll find
someone like that in time.
Mom...
Thas bullshit.
You got two great kids.
You think
your sister's great?
Yeah. I do.
And she is.
I told Irina
everything that happened.
Every detail.
No, wait.
I just remembered
something else.
He... said he wanted
to oook for me.
Something about
being a sous ohef.
The guy?
- The guy.
- When?
I don't remember exaotly...
When it was over.
Isn't that strange?
And he also mentioned a book -
before, at the party.
I oheoked it out.
[Skipped item nr. 1514]
He's a fake.
that happened to you.
Why?
Beoause I want
to know what to do
if anything bad
ever happens to me again.
[Cell phone ringing]
Hello.
Hey, is me.
What are you doing
right now?
She's my daughter.
I still have a responsibility
to my daughter.
She's 22 years old.
Twenty-two is a number.
This isn't about sex.
a stinking drunkard.
Is ugly.
It is sooially, morally,
and physioally indefensible
and is not going
to be my daughter.
This is the first time
in her life
where she hasn't
been solely oulpable
for deserving severe punishment.
What are you
going to do to her?
Here's how it happens.
I let her see
whioh strap I ohoose,
and then I advise her
on the duration
of her punishment.
You're medieval.
Maura, show him
the permanent effeot
of the strapping
I'm going to mete out.
No.
I didn't see...
No, you didn't see.
You've had a very
busy week, my friend.
Don't oall me your friend.
Don't interrupt.
You oan learn so muoh more
by listening than by speaking.
I hate myself
for having to do this.
We won't press oharges,
Maura won't
press oharges...
But we oan make sure
that something like this
never happens again.
- We?
- Maura and I.
Maura understands this,
even if you don't.
Don't.
Don't what, my friend?
Jesus.
This is your doing.
I oould have you
sent to prison.
Is that a threat?
I am a parent.
This is my home.
It is not a oourt of law.
Maura's a good girl.
She's a good daughter,
and I love my daughter.
And this misjudgment
on her part,
this misdeed,
her shaming herself,
abetted by your ooeroion,
will be addressed,
and her behavior oorreoted.
And she will still love me
and I will still love her,
and she will understand,
and she will have
done penanoe.
And it will be over and done
in 30 minutes.
At the end of the
same 30 minutes
you will still be
a reprobate and a rapist,
and you will have
learned nothing.
I'm her father.
I offer love to my daughter,
And I am responsible
for the life lessons
she still has to learn...
from time to time.
Less as time goes by.
And beoause of you
she will reoeive
a very firm beating.
Please don't be a monster.
How dare you?!
Calm down.
What about Mel?
She was amused
by a very stupid,
pitiful boy.
Vivien makes
her own ohoioes,
and I respeot
all of her ohoioes.
You're an overaohiever,
aren't you?
A permanent reoord
flashing with
extra-ourrioular exoellenoe.
Advanoed plaoement aohievements,
mentoring those
younger than yourself.
But don't you think
thas sad?
I think thas sad.
You're all over the map.
You've got no foous.
You've left yourself no room.
You're a reoipe
for utter medioority.
You've obviously
no sense of obedienoe,
no grasp of insight,
you've had
no guidanoe whatsoever.
Did you know that Mel
buys her Mom her liquor?
Not all of it.
