GARY: Th-That's the official story, but, you know RAY: Yeah, but I think I think there was a guy behind - the fence on the knoll.

- No, but that doesn't make any sense.

See, I don't think there was anyone on the grassy knoll behind the fence.

I think the sh**t was in the pergola.

RAY: Where's the pergola? Well, the pergola's on the grassy knoll, but it's-it's up near more up north towards the depository it's the big white building, - the-the concrete one.

- Mm.

Yeah.

And, uh And this ch and there's a photo there's two blokes, that are hiding in the pergola, and I reckon that's where the head sh*ts come from.

And when the limo comes around the corner, - where does it stop? - Mm? Where does it stop, eh? In front of the pergola.

Well, the limo didn't stop.

How do you know it doesn't stop? Well, you look at the film, it doesn't.

It slows down but it doesn't stop.

Yeah.

- Who doctored the Zapruder film? - Everyone knows the Zapruder film's doctored - it went missing for years.

- I didn't And-And then it came back.

It resurfaced, like, eight to 12 years later.

- Now we're telling more fantasies.

- The frames are missing.

Yeah.

That's right.

Well, frames are missing, and Yeah.

It just-it just doesn't make any sense.

What if I was, like, a quadriplegic? Is that the ones that can use their arms, but they can't use their legs? No, that's a paraplegic.

Quadriplegics can't use their arms or their legs.

So, what, you'd just be lying in bed all day? Pretty much.

I'd probably put a pillow over your head and put you out of your misery.

Serious? Well, why would you want to live like that? What if I wanted to live? Hmm.

So how would we have sex? Well, quadriplegics can't feel anything down there.

Yeah, but we could still have sex, though, right? So you'd still want to have sex with me even if I couldn't feel anything? Why wouldn't I want to have sex with you? Sure.

- Knock yourself out.

- [CHUCKLES]

Just don't complain I'm a dead root.

But you're a dead root anyway and I don't complain.

- Thanks very much.

- [CHUCKLES]

What are you doing? You'll see.

[RAY SIGHS]

Aw, is that for me? No, it's for the dude on the park bench over there.

There is no dude over there on the park bench.

Yes, there is.

It's my imaginary boyfriend.

He said he'd look after me if I was a quadriplegic.

Yeah, well, I said I'd look after you.

Oh, good.

Just wanted to make sure we were gonna have sex, that's all.

Yeah, she's all right now.

She was pretty upset, but I don't think she's gonna have any more problems.

Were you bullied at school? Mm-hmm.

Bad? Pretty bad.

Were you beaten up? Mm-hmm.

Well, what was this all through school? Um probably up until about halfway through grade six.

- Well, it stopped? - Mm-hmm.

Why did it stop? Fought back.

What happened? Oh, there was this little prick, and he'd been bullying me for about two years.

And, um this one day, you know, we were playing downball, and he just started getting stuck into me, and, you know, and I started crying, and and he just kept following me, just kept saying sh*t to me, - just wouldn't leave it alone, you know? - Mm.

And I just grabbed him and threw him up against a wall, and just b*at the absolute f*ck out of him.

And he stopped? He sure did.

It's always better to give than receive.

Is it? f*ck yeah.

Why do you say that? Well, you got to fight back, you know? Otherwise Otherwise what? Otherwise, people will walk all over you.

You know? I mean, that's the thing.

Look, I wasn't looking for trouble as a kid.

You know? But I learned there's people in this world who will take and take till there's nothing left of you.

I used to get angry about it.

Well, I I used to get angry at myself, 'cause I couldn't do nothing about it.

- You know what I mean? - Mm.

Like, I felt I felt like I was weak.

You know what I mean? Um I can remember I took a razor blade out of the, um, the bathroom cupboard.

I went down to the swings at the end of the street.

And I'm sitting there and I'm thinking, you know, "I'm gonna top meself.

" You know? "I've had enough.

" 'Cause I was getting hit at home, I was getting hit at school, you know? And, um But I couldn't do it, you know? And then, I felt like, "Geez, you weak bastard, you can't, you know, you can't even k*ll yourself.

" You know what I mean? And I thought, "Is it 'cause I don't want to die or is it 'cause I'm just afraid to cut myself?" So I took the razor blade and I cut me hand up.

Anyway.

I was sitting In my Corolla Talking to you While my friends Drank inside There was a silence Weak telephone reception Doesn't compliment A dark State of mind You know it's bad.
