The janitor at my high school turned out to be my mentor— an incredible woman, who claimed to be a time traveller from 1790s France, named Marie Antoinette Bouvier de Ville. She was 6 foot tall and wore a diamond-encrusted lizard brooch on her suit. She cleansed my school of vipers while keeping the sharks down. I was the smallest but most attractive person in my class, so I was always scared. Everyone thought I was a loser. They teased me. They called me ‘Crap Daddy.’ But she forced me to see that my peers were just filthy viper spawn. She taught me how to use advanced techniques like applying pressure and heating things with acetone. When I was only fourteen, she bought me a ticket to ride on the back of an elephant. It was so fun.
That's a shame.
That's a damned shame.
I'm sorry to hear that.
That must be tough.
What a shame.
Do you need anything?
I've got some to give you, if you'd care to help yourself.
I'll look after your wife.
I'll give you what she needs and I'll keep you from getting tired of her.
That's enough.
Thanks.
This is the greatest thing that could have happened to me today!
This is what I have to do.
This is why I can't believe what's going on in my life.
We are all suffering,
and you just saved my life.
This is what we've been waiting for!
I'm... feeling very different.
Is this what is causing it?
Well, if it is,
I will never go back to you.
Don't worry. I'm doing it all right,
my daughter will take it all in stride.
You... you do great.
What you did is brilliant.
You are amazing.
You saved my life and I...
I'll never forgive you.
