Q

Presley: I didn’t kill him!

A

Cosmo: What they do?

21
Q

Presley: Bought me a bike.
….
I would rather not use my bike than spoil my perfect puncture outfit.

A

Cosmo: This your dad?

22
Q

Presley: Yeah.

A

Cosmo: He looks big.

23
Q

Presley: He was. Big and strong. He made cars.

A

Cosmo: What? All by himself?

24
Q

Presley: No. With his mates from the factory.

They’re in a drawer over there. Want to see them?

A

Cosmo: Not particularly.

25
Q

Presley: There’s one thousand, three hundred and twenty-eight.

A

Cosmo: You counted them?

26
Q

Presley: Of course.

A

Cosmo: Why?

27
Q

Presley: To see how many there were?

A

Cosmo: How did it take?

28
Q

Presley: A whole night.

A

Cosmo: Why count them at night?

29
Q

Presley: I usually sleep during the day.

A

Cosmo: But your sister sleeps at night.

30
Q

Presley: Oh, she just sleeps.

A

Cosmo: When does she wake up?

31
Q

Presley: When she wants something.

A

Cosmo: Have you always been … like this?

32
Q

Presley: Course not. Don’t be stupid.

We’d go to bed at midnight.

A

Cosmo: So when did you start being … like this?

33
Q

Presley: After Mum and Dad lose us.

A

Cosmo: Lost us?

34
Q

Presley: No, left us.

A

Cosmo: You said ‘lost us’.

35
Q

Presley: Didn’t.

A

Cosmo: Did.

36
Q

Presley: Didn’t.

A

Cosmo: You said, ‘After Mum and Dad lost us.’

37
Q

Presley: I couldn’t have said ‘lost us’. That makes no sense. How could they lose us? They died.

A

Cosmo: Ten years ago.

38
Q

Presley: That’s right.

A

Cosmo: And they died in the same year?

39
Q

Presley: On the same day.

A

Cosmo: The same day!

40
Q

Presley: That’s right. One day they went out and never came back. We waited a very long time.

A

Presley: It must’ve been a car crash!

41
Q

Presley: It wasn’t. I told you.

A

Cosmo: Train crash?

42
Q

Presley: No.

A

Cosmo: A sheet of glass fell from a tall building and hit them?

43
Q

Presley: No. Nothing like that.

A

Cosmo: It wasn’t an accident?

44
Q

Presley: No.

A

Cosmo: And they weren’t ill or anything?

45
Q

Presley: No.

Presley: That’s me and Haley. It’s the only photograph of the two of us together.

A

Cosmo: How old are you?

46
Q

Presley: You know that. We’re twenty-eight.

A

Cosmo: In the photograph, Mr Chocolate.

47
Q

Presley: Oh, six.

A

Cosmo: What forest you in?

48
Q

Presley: It’s not a forest.

A

Cosmo: Looks like one.

49
Q

Presley: It’s a reptile house in a zoo.

A

Cosmo: You look bloody terrified.
