Scenes with Warren
4 scenes
I've always heard you to be a hard-hearted policeman, Inspector.
Warren Isn't that what's thought of most policemen? The laws are written, the policeman is hired to see that those laws are enforced. We have a job to do, as in most jobs there is always someone who doesn't want that job to be done. In most factories today, the employer has put up suggestion boxes. Even the employer needs advice once in a while. I think in the case we're referring to, I need advice. Maybe it shouldn't have happened as it did. Perhaps the next time we can prevent it.
Let's get our stories straight. You're referring to the suicide of the transvestite?
Warren If that's the word you men of medical science use for a man who wears women's clothing, yes.
Yes, in cold, technical language, that's the word. As unfriendly and as vicious as it may sound. However in actuality it's not an unfriendly word, not is it vicious when you know the people to whom it pertains.
Warren I'd like to hear the story to the fullest.
Only the infinity of the depths of a man's mind can really tell the story.
Dr. Alton. A young man who is...speaks the words of the all-wise. No one can really tell the story. Mistakes are made. But there is no mistaking the thoughts in a man's mind. The story...is begun...
Warren Then the way I get it, this Glen and the character he created, much as an author creates a character in a book, was invented as a love object, to take the place of the love he never received in his early youth, through lack of it from his parents. The character was created and dressed, and lives the life the author designs for him to live, and dies only when the author wants him to die.
Correct, except that for the character Glenda to die the elements must be right.
Therefore two entirely different cases, handled in two entirely different ways have a happy ending.
Warren Yeah, those two. But what of the hundreds of other less fortunate Glens, the world over?
Yes. But what of the others, less fortunate Glens, the world over? Oh, snips and snails and puppy dog tails.
