Garp My name is T.S. Garp. Helen What's the T.S. stand for? Garp Terribly Sexy. I used to be Terribly Shy, but I changed. Helen I'm Helen Holm. Garp Oh, Holm sweet Holm. Our new wrestling coach here is named Holm. Boy, what a hard-ass! We call him "Holm sweat Holm". Helen He's my father. I'm his daughter. We're the Holm team Garp Oh. Take care. Ass-hole. Garp Well? Jenny Fields It's, uh...a bit thin. Garp Yeah, it's not the quantity that counts. Jenny Fields Thanks God for that! This is good enough for me. Garp That's not very artistic, though. Jenny Fields Well, I'm not an artist. I'm a nurse and it's about time I got back to it. Garp I wanna be an artist, and I want to know what you thought of it. Jenny Fields I'm not sure I understand it. Garp Mom, it's very simple. He can do wonders when he's wearing his magic gloves. If his wife is sad, he touches her with his gloves, she's happy. If his children are crying, he touches them, and they smile. But he can't feel them! He yearns to feel. He can even hold off death with his magic gloves, but he can't feel life. So, he takes off the gloves, and he dies. But, he finally feels life as he's flying into the arms of death. Garp We'll take the house. Helen Garp. Garp Honey, the chances of another plane hitting this house are astronomical. See? It's been pre-disastered. We're going to be safe here. Garp Nobody is buying my novel. I'm starting my second and the same nobodies are going to line up not to buy that one too. Garp GarpWe are civilized people, and civilized people obey rules! You Neolithic dipshit! Babysitter What does T.S. Stand for? Garp Terrebly Sad. I used to be Terrebly Sexy, bu, but I changed Babysitter Oh, I don't think so Garp Really? |
