Was waiting for anyone to bring this wonderful scene directly to the
group.
Hmmm, seems it is in fact not **one** of boys getting some at all, but
both getting a little something, but what? But, but, what is it they
get? Fucking insane isn't it?
Speaking of curves and readings into and out of the text, Dixon's baby
was also compared with Atlas. How did Atlas end up holding up the sky
anyway?
Mason smells the pipe. I thought that if sex was not going to be on
stage or on the Tube or on the film or in the book or whatever, we might
see Dixon smoking in bed, but I also thought that this only works if one
is seen to be smoking after sex, but not matter it is Mason who "fancies
he can hear..."
Now what does that mean? Fancies?
