[ ANSWERING MACHINE ]
Hello Gerald, this is Paul calling...

just returning your call
about the interview...

yeah I think I'm ready
to talk about it...

so I...
uhh...

I can meet you at the center
after work if that is good,

OK, thanks,
bye.

May I smoke?

[ RECORDER STARTS ]

I was 10 years old.

[ TV: ] This concludes our
television activities for another day,

we invite you to join us
again tomorrow.



My parents were alcoholics,

had been all trough my childhood,

sometimes functional...
other times...

[ Paul: CRYING ]

[ BAD DREAM ]

''You are not my son
You...

you are going straight to hell,

you are sick.''

Paul, Paul, Paulie
Paulie?

Wake up
open your eyes.

When Michael woke me up,

I was relieved,

and I just immediately
stopped crying,

because...
it was Michael.



All right take off those
wet clothes, OK?

Underwear too dummy.

Did you drink a Coke before
bed again?

It just happened.

I wet the bed...
yes,

10 years old
and I wet the bed.

Arms up.

Well...
all better?

What?

Can I just stay with you tonight?

I distinctive remember,

the anger of my father,

[ BANG ]

but the thing about
alcoholics is if...

you never know if what they
are doing or saying is authentic,

my mom said she loved me but
there was never any proof of it,

my brother...

he was real.

Mike?

Miky?

Yeah.

You awake?

Yeah.

Can I ask you something?

What is it?

You promise you never...
ever to leave me?

Shut up.

Promise?

I promise,

and go to sleep,
I have a game tomorrow.

Miky?

What is it?

[ SIGH ]

It was the first time,

that I remembered being
that close to another man,

male...
whatever,

that...
way.

Michael's arms were strong
and warm,

it was like... I began to understand
what it felt like to be safe

for the first time in my life,

it's my best memory,

and uhh...

that's...
when we started to...

mess around...

you know...

have sex.

[ Paul: CRYING ]

And this went on for two years,

till Michael went off to college,

in my head,

I thought we were married,

like mom and dad,

and that he was going take
me with him to college

to be his...

I don't know...

wife?

but that didn't happen,

well I thought...

how could you leave me
like this?

with them...

who is going take care
of me?

[ VAN DRIVES AWAY ]

[ SIGH ]

He is married now,

no we don't talk about it,

Jane doesn't even know
about it,

you are the first person I have told.

[ WALKS OFF ]
