Kinds of Kindness

Quotes: « Rita: Can you believe, all that time I was lost in the middle of nowhere, cold and hungry, all I could think about was not the hot meals I was missing, or the warm blankets back home, or even my dad. All I could think about was your cock. » « Sarah: Not everyone is cut out for everything. » « Rita: [to George] Dad, last night I had a dream: I was lying on that beach where they found me. I don't remember what I was wearing… but it was like I had been there for years. And you were there. Daniel was there. We all were. Funny thing is, life in that place wasn't like it was here. It took me a few days to realize, but that place went by different rules: There, dogs were in charge. People were animals and animals were people. I must admit, Dad, the dogs treated us pretty well. They gave us food and they bandaged our wounds after licking them… and they never bit us… even when we tried to hurt them. And every morning they gave us chocolate to eat. Because dogs mustn't eat chocolate, you know. Lamb, which is my favorite food… was a rare treat, and the dogs mostly kept that for themselves. For the first few days, I refused to eat… and I waited for leftover lamb chop, but someone else always got to it first so… eventually, I just ate the chocolate because there was lots of it around. And I didn't like it much… but it was better than going hungry and so… from then on, I ate chocolate every day. And here's the conclusion I came to: it's better to eat something that's always available when you're hungry, than to depend on something that runs out early every morning. And I mean every morning. Daniel isn't perfect, but he's always been there for me. »
