Kids are more hung up on sex
than the Victorians.

:48:05
I got a son, 23 years old.
I threw him out of the house last year.

:48:08
Pietistic little humbug.
:48:12
He preached universal love,
and he despised everyone.

:48:16
Had a blanket contempt for the middle class,
even its decencies.

:48:20
Detested my mother
because she had a petit bourgeois pride...

:48:24
in her son, the doctor.
:48:27
I cannot tell you how brutishly
he ignored that rather good lady.

:48:34
When she died,
he didn't even come to the funeral.

:48:38
He felt the chapel service was an hypocrisy.
:48:43
He told me his generation
didn't live with lies.

:48:46
I said, "Listen, everybody lives with lies"."
:48:53
I grabbed him by his poncho...
:48:57
and I dragged him the length...
:48:59
of our seven-room, despicably affluent...
:49:02
middle-class apartment,
and I flung him... out.

:49:11
I haven't seen him since.
:49:17
You know what he said to me?
:49:20
He's standing there on the landing,
on the verge of tears.

:49:25
He shrieked at me:
:49:29
"You old fink.
:49:33
"You can't even get it up anymore"."
:49:38
That was it, you see.
:49:41
That was his real revolution.
:49:45
It wasn't racism...
:49:47
the oppressed poor, or the war in Vietnam.
:49:53
The ultimate American societal sickness...
:49:58
was a limp dingus.
