*[rap music]*

Why you reading, bitch?

- Because I like to read, and this is a really good book.

- You're a really good bitch, bitch!

- Why you gotta bother me man?

- Because!

*[sad piano music]*
I'm not doing very well at school!

I'm reading at a third grade level!

I really don't wanna get left back, so when I see somebody reading for fun,

it makes me feel that much more stupid! And then I get mad!

*[music stops]*

- Um, I didn't know that, thanks so much for opening up to me...

- Shut up queer!

- I don't understand, I mean, why you gotta go there?

*[sad piano music]*

I've been having sexual fantasies about some of the other guys at school.

- What?
- Gimme that!

I'm afraid of these feelings and what they might mean.

It's like, because I hate myself so much, I gotta point that hate outward, towards you! <i>[laughs]</i>

*[music stops]*

- You understand this on such a deep level, that...

*[sad piano music]*
- I don't understand s**t!

Now I'm gonna punish you physically for acknowledging my emotional problems!

- No no wait wait, I was gonna say, if you understand yourself so well,

then maybe you should try working on changing it!

- Of course I wanna change it! But it's the only defence mechanism I have

against deeper, more terrifying problems buried inside of me!

*[music stops]*

You lucky my dad's here.

*[sad piano music]*
- Get in the damn truck son!

I need to take you home and beat on you 'cause I hate myself,

and you look like your mother who left me.

Then I'mma block out the guilt I feel over mistreating you with a river of vodka.

- I'm gonna internalise that and unknowingly transfer it onto you tomorrow.

Coming reluctantly.
