the belly of the elephant
What?
And needs to be cut out.
What?
So in the morning, when
What?
mouth of the elephant
What?
And realizes that yes, in fact,
What?
And she decides that when
she gets to the village,
What?
She's going to seek
out her brother.
What?
And they are going
to figure out a way
What?
To cut her mother
loose and escape.
What?
And?
What?
And what?
What?
And then what?
What?
What do you mean?
What?
Is she reunited
with her brother?
What?
Oh.
What?
Yes, but they realize
they're just being silly.
What?
You're a very strange
child, aren't you?
What?
Do you think it would
make a good novel?
What?
Because...
What?
I think that you shouldn't
What?
I think that you
should get some sleep.
What?
I'm taking you to see
Granny's lawyer tomorrow.
What?
Why?
What?
The will, darling.
What?
Oh.
What?
Yes, the will, and an
interesting little thing
What?
That I like to call wealth.
What?
I wonder what you'll do with it.
What?
What about you?
What?
Oh, she's not leaving
me anything, silly.
What?
She hated me.
What?
She absolutely
detested your father.
What?
No, no.
What?
The only people in our
family getting anything
What?
Are you and your brother.
What?
Darling, don't frown, cherub.
What?
I hate to see you worry.
What?
It's a very bad habit, you know?
What?
You should get out of it as soon
as possible, because, you know,
What?
You do have the potential to
become a very unhappy person.
What?
Night-night, love.
What?
Could she face her future?
What?
The girl did not know.
What?
What lays in life
that is not in death.
What?
The future, being fickle in its
nature, is very unpredictable
What?
And, therefore, bodes ill
to those who find wanting,
What?
Which posed the question,
could she face her future?
What?
The girl did not know.
What?
What lays in life
that is not in death?
What?
The promise of a new day?
What?
Pick a card.
What?
You will live a long
and prosperous life.
What?
What?
It says you're fat.
What?
Thank you very much for coming.
What?
It's our pleasure.
What?
Your grandmother
was a fine woman.
What?
Was she?
What?
Now, Maude, don't be rhetorical.
What?
Was it rhetorical?
What?
Please, dear.
What?
You were saying?
What?
Yes, uh, well, it was
your grandmother's wish,
What?
In the event of her death,
that you inherit $5 million,
What?
When you come of age, to be
put into your college fund.
What?
Oh, and she also left you
this charming figurine.
What?
It was your grandmother's wish,
in the event of her death,
What?
That when you came of age,
What?
And you get a figure, Maude.
What?
Isn't it exciting?
What?
But I turn 18 next week.
What?
And that's $5
million for her college fund.
What?
$5 million.
What?
For her college fund.
What?
Oh, dear.
What?
Is that a requirement?
What?
Well, uh, mm, yes.
What?
But I don't want
to go to college.
What?
Now, now, Maude.
What?
Maude was saying quite
truthfully that she
What?
Was thinking of not attending
collegiate, um, things.
What?
But I'm sure she can be
persuaded out of it, though she
What?
Has had some recent,
uh, mishaps at school.
What?
I'm suspended and I'm
failing every class.
What?
Maude.
What?
Huh.
What?
Oh, well.
What?
Is that all?
What?
Well, I wouldn't
worry about that.
What?
You see, your grandmother
has donated many a college
What?
Building.
What?
So you just decide which
school you want to go to,
What?
And I'm sure that we can
figure something out.
What?
I'm sorry.
What?
Uh, what if I just...
I don't go to college.
What?
Well, then the money
will go to charity.
What?
What charity?
What?
Dogs.
What?
Jesus.
What?
Yes.
What?
But...
What?
But that won't matter,
because Maude will simply just
What?
Have to go to college.
What?
And if she picks a school
with a reasonable tuition,
What?
Then she can keep whatever
inheritance she doesn't spend.
What?
But...
What?
Wonderful.
What?
Well, how should we proceed?
What?
OK.
What?
Well, I'm going to
have my secretary send
What?
You some brochures of schools
that we're on the best terms
What?
With.
What?
Then I'm going to have you
back in here next week,
What?
And you're going to
tell me your decision.
What?
And then the money
will go straight
What?
Into your college account.
What?
Wonderful.
What?
Wonderful.
What?
Wonderful.
What?
What?
What?
Well, I think that
went very well.
What?
Now, Maude, I know you said
you'd rather eat your uterus
What?
Than get a degree,
but I think you're
What?
Going to have a fabulous time.
What?
It's college.
What?
Isn't it exciting?
What?
I wonder what they do there.
What?
Oh, well.
What?
When you go, you can
tell me all about it
What?
And bring me back
one of those hats.
What?
How's my hair?
What?
Oh, damn.
What?
We forgot your figurine.
What?
What?
Do you know "Camptown Races"?
What?
What?
What?
You were unsure?
What?
I was unsure.
What?
Are you still unsure?
What?
Well, yes.
What?
And that caused you to...
What?
No.
What?
I went to sleep.
What?
The next morning, I woke up.
What?
As one down.
What?
And then...
What?
Please, try and remember.
What?
Why are you talking
to me like that?
What?
I remember everything
that went on.
What?
I am not a raped war veteran.
What?
you talk to me so harshly.
What?
I have a feeling you're
secretly mocking me
What?
When you say that.
What?
Perhaps you're right.
What?
That makes me want to
tell you everything.
What?
What?
What?
Wake up.
What?
You're in my spot.
What?
Also, Jenny's here.
What?
And to what do I owe this
extremely pleasurable delight
What?
Of all delights?
What?
Jesus, calm down.
What?
I just can't believe it's real!
What?
Please don't do that anymore.
What?
I haven't done
it until just now.
What?
Please don't do that
anymore right now.
What?
I can't.
What?
Please don't start.
What?
My Bonnie lies over the ocean.
What?
My Bonnie lies over the sea.
What?
My Bonnie lies over the ocean.
What?
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.
What?
Bring back, oh, bring back,
What?
Oh, bring back my
Bonnie to me, to me.
What?
Bring back, oh, bring back,
oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.
What?
OK.
What?
What's up?
What?
I'm moving.
What?
I need to be closer
to West Point.
What?
Listen, it'll be fine.
What?
OK, she seems to...
I'm trying to say
What?
What?
Ugh!
What?
And it...
What?
What?
F***.
What?
So I bet she'll keep in touch.
What?
What?
Here.
What?
Christ, so gross.
What?
What?
Here we go.
What?
OK.
What?
Hey, she seems like she's going
to want to keep in touch, OK?
What?
You think so?
