So, I'm your second choice?

So, I'm your second choice?
Russel didn't find it very moving when he said that.
Low self-esteem, weak, cautious. Appears very real.
In addition to the dialogue between the two of them, this film also likes the text in his uninstall blog.
"I met this guy who was nice, I've called him Paul Smith. But that wasn't his name because I can't remember his name. But it was the aftershave he was wearing. He had a really nice flat near the cemetery, and I think he worked in design. He told me his parents were fine about him being gay which must have been good. And he had photos of them on his wall. He asked if he could fuck me. I told him I' d never done it before. And that he needed to be careful. I can remember us being paranoid about the condom coming off, and me getting Aids and everybody would think I was scum. He wouldn't give me his number because he said he had a boyfriend. On the bus I felt so ashamed and shitty. When I got back I puked uo and spent the rest of the day in bed thinking about all kinds of stuff."
"Ashamed and shitty", when Glen read this text, the camera kept shooting Russel, ashamed and sad, and he followed his voice to recall the original feeling.
Foreigners seem to like to discuss things very much. They seem to have their own set of concepts, so they always have something to say when they are together. No need to discuss who slept, who kicked who, who was sick...
Glen's words in Russel's dad's tone were really nice. It doesn't matter to me, I love you just the same. And I couldn't be more proud of you than if you were the first man on the moon.

Weekend quotes

  • Russell: I moved around in foster homes until I was about sixteen.

    Glen: [softly] Mm-hm. Fuck.

    Russell: Met my best mate there, Jamie, when we were twelve. Erm yeah, it was nice, we just went around as a pair.

    Glen: Fucking hell. What was it like?

    Russell: What?

    Glen: Being "in care".

    Russell: It was fine. I mean, I wasn't abused or anything.

    Glen: Shame, you should've got a refund. Do they know about you?

    Russell: Who?

    Glen: Jamie?

    Russell: Yeah. I'm like his brother really. Everyone knows about me of my friends. Close ones, anyway.

    Glen: [Glen starts snickering, bit ashamed]

    Russell: What? What?

    Glen: [snickers] Is it really wrong that I find the whole orphan thing pretty sexy?

    [laughs out loud]

    Russell: [smilingly] O my god. What's wrong with you?

  • Glen: It's like when you've had the same friends for too long, they become like - Everything becomes cemented.

    Russell: What? And that's a bad thing, is it?

    Glen: Of course, it's a bad thing. I don't want to be in fucking concrete, thank you very much.

    Glen: It's like they won't let you, they won't let you be any version of yourself except an old version, or the version that they want you to be.
