"Mary chipped her front tooth
on the monkey bars."

:24:03
"She made a big scene and had to
get it capped. It looks normal, I guess."

:24:07
Here, give me that.
:24:10
Told you she had a capped tooth.
:24:17
Elm trees. How many pages
can you write about dying trees?

:24:22
Here, something about Dominic.
:24:26
"Palazzolo jumped off the roof
over that rich bitch Porter."

:24:30
"How stupid can you be?"
:24:34
"Today we went out on the boat.
It was cold."

:24:36
"We saw a couple of whales."
:24:39
"Lux stroked the whale.
I didn't think they'd stink so much."

:24:42
"It's the kelp in their baleens rotting."
:24:45
"I hope we can go again sometime."
:24:48
Let's read that. "Lux lost it over Kevin..."
:24:51
- Is it Heines?
- "Heines, the garbage man."

:24:53
(Cecilia) Lux lost it over Kevin Haines,
the garbage man.

:24:57
She'd wake up at five in the morning
and hang out on the front steps -

:25:01
..like it wasn't completely obvious.
:25:03
She wrote his name in marker
on all her underwear.

:25:06
Mom found them
and bleached out the Kevins.

:25:08
Lux was crying on her bed all day.
:25:19
The trees like lungs filling with air.
:25:22
My sister, the mean one, pulling my hair.
:25:30
(narrator) And so we started
to learn about their lives,...

:25:34
..coming to hold collective memories
of times we hadn't experienced.

:25:38
We felt the imprisonment ofbeing a girl,
the way it made your mind dreamy...

:25:44
..so you ended up knowing
what colours went together.

:25:46
We knew the girls
were really women in disguise,...

:25:49
..that they understood love
and even death,...

:25:53
..and that ourjob was merely to create
the noise that seemed to fascinate them.

:25:58
We knew that they knew
everything about us.
