Lines I've Loved (to write)
FIBONACCI'S CHILD - MRS PLANTER TALKING TO HER SON'S FIANCE.
"I hate Americans, they're all so stupid. George's father was an American. It was a condom for Christ's sake, it didn't need instructions."
FIBONACCI'S CHILD - JENNELLE TALKING TO HER BOYFRIEND ABOUT MARIA'S ETHNIC ORIGIN.
"A Columbian is not like a Brazilian, it's different."
FIBONACCI'S CHILD - ANGELA MORGAN TALKING TO HER STEP-DAUGHTER.
“I'll let you into a little secret not even your father knows. Parents can be so cruel, mine gave me Chaste as a middle name.”
“No!”
“Trust me, I changed that at the first opportunity.”
INDULGENCE - MARCUS TALKING TO HIS DOG (PEPPER) WHILE FIXING HIS CAR.
“Hussain was a strict practising orthodox Jew, you know from Jewland or wherever. Boy that's one weird religion. It's forbidden for a man to look at the body of a naked woman, ever! Can you believe that shit? I asked Hussain. I said, Hussain, how does that work? He said it was cool. At home the bedroom was completely dark at night. He admitted he was supposed to have sex through a hole in the sheet. I thought that was ridiculous! Anyway, his wife left him, she got all westernised took his money and his house, as they do. So I asked him what went wrong? It turns out he came home one afternoon feeling kinda hot, as you do. He called his wife to let her know his mood. So when he gets home his wife's in the bedroom under the sheet. And Hussain gives her a good seeing too. So, Hussain's in the shower afterwards and his wife comes into the bathroom. Hussain says to his wife. Honey, you can't come in here right now, I'm naked. She said sorry, she didn't realise. She'd only just got home, she'd been out looking for the dog. Now Pepper, ain't you glad we're a good American Christian family.”
For some reason I visualised Bruce Willis as I wrote this.
ABSOLUTION - CLAIRE ANSWERING THE PHONE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ARGUMENT.
"Yes. Not now Angela, I'm busy. Stop obsessing... If Michael say's he's gone to help the vicar paint a ceiling, he'll be back soon. How long can it possibly take?"
ABSOLUTION (DELETED) - RICHIE BEING CHATTED UP AT THE BAR.
Richie didn't like this woman. She was large, blonde and full-breasted. He thought she'd be more attractive with her hair down but still her manner was curt and off-putting, he turned away from her.
"You seem to prefer your own company," she said in her monotone unsmiling way.
"Come's from being an only child," he replied.
"I wouldn't know about that, I'm seven of nine." she walked off to find another target.
COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON - A MAN RUSHING OFF TO THE TOILET.
"Was he a man filled with such a lust he needed to take his leave?"
