Extrait « JUNIOR : […] Look, I'm going to imitate my father who gets thick-skinned before he yells at me. / Junior stands up tall, holds his breath, looks stern and stands still. / MAGGIE : You're not doing anything special. / JUNIOR : Look carefully. / MAGGIE : You just look a bit mad, that's all. / JUNIOR(holding his breath) : Everything is inside. I tense all my muscles here, around the heart and in my stomach. That prevents you from smiling and you can say mean things without wanting to cry. » |
