Scenes with Jon Savage

3 scenes

Dad has been writing on the walls with his shit!

Jon Savage
[half asleep]

Wen, what the **** are you talking about?

Jon Savage

Dad's not the one that has a problem with the Valley View. There's nothing wrong with Dad's situation. Dad's situation is fine. He's never gonna adjust to it if we keep yanking him outta there. And, actually, this upward mobility fixation of yours, it's counterproductive and, frankly, pretty selfish. Because it's not about Dad, it's about you and your guilt. That's what these places prey upon.

I happen to think it's nicer here.

Jon Savage

Of course you do, because you are the consumer they want to target. You are the guilty demographic. The landscaping, the neighborhoods of care; they're not for the residents, they're for the relatives. People like you and me who don't want to admit to what's really going on here.

Which is what, Jon?

Jon Savage

People are dying, Wendy! Right inside that beautiful building right now, it's a **** horror show! And all this wellness propaganda and the landscaping, it's just there to obscure the miserable fact that people die! And death is gaseous and gruesome and it's filled with shit and piss and rotten stink!

Jon Savage
[about his girlfriend]

She's moving back to Poland.

What, you and Kasia broke up?

Jon Savage

No, her visa expired.

So that's it? Her visa expires, and it's over.

Jon Savage

It's either that or we get married and no one's ready for that.
