1
00:00:13,110 --> 00:00:15,116
Is this what you want?

2
00:00:15,116 --> 00:00:16,363
he asked.

3
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:20,588
and I said yes.

4
00:00:22,608 --> 00:00:24,307
so he took his skin off for me

5
00:00:28,504 --> 00:00:30,890
It happened just before dinner

6
00:00:33,054 --> 00:00:36,920
I'd bought a fresh cut of lamb for a recipe I wanted to try

7
00:00:38,510 --> 00:00:41,052
he always liked it when I cooked

8
00:00:59,259 --> 00:01:02,468
I could see everything

9
00:01:02,468 --> 00:01:03,720
he was beautiful

10
00:01:42,630 --> 00:01:44,294
some things were no different

11
00:01:45,894 --> 00:01:49,434
lovemaking, for example, was the same

12
00:01:50,662 --> 00:01:55,155
just two people showing each other what they really look like...

13
00:02:13,390 --> 00:02:16,229
but of course, some things were new

14
00:02:17,836 --> 00:02:21,641
the sheets needed to be washed each day

15
00:02:21,641 --> 00:02:26,734
they took in the smells of his open body and released them long after he'd gone to work

16
00:02:29,269 --> 00:02:32,601
I had to clean the house more often too

17
00:02:32,601 --> 00:02:35,520
a few hours a day if I could

18
00:02:40,408 --> 00:02:43,076
it was the least I could do

19
00:02:54,845 --> 00:02:58,607
at night he'd get cold so easily

20
00:02:58,607 --> 00:03:01,716
I'd say to him, 'at least it's not winter yet'

21
00:03:01,716 --> 00:03:03,848
and we'd smile...

22
00:03:03,848 --> 00:03:06,682
but we both knew it was coming

23
00:03:13,297 --> 00:03:17,617
I tried to be understanding, but me? I was boiling

24
00:03:22,299 --> 00:03:24,908
and gas didn't come cheap

25
00:03:33,562 --> 00:03:36,950
he said he wasn't having much luck with clients

26
00:03:38,959 --> 00:03:42,311
I told him they were the wrong clients

27
00:03:44,293 --> 00:03:47,805
the right clients won't care, I said

28
00:03:47,805 --> 00:03:49,815
the right clients will understand

29
00:03:53,584 --> 00:03:58,512
he said we'd run out of money if we waited for the right ones

30
00:03:59,985 --> 00:04:03,090
I said he'd figure it out

31
00:05:51,561 --> 00:05:55,108
some of his old friends came by

32
00:05:57,358 --> 00:05:59,771
they asked him about his skin

33
00:06:00,472 --> 00:06:03,269
just the normal questions you would ask

34
00:06:03,993 --> 00:06:06,034
do you miss it?

35
00:06:06,034 --> 00:06:08,166
does it hurt?

36
00:06:09,252 --> 00:06:12,021
he'd answer yes, or he'd answer no.

37
00:06:13,345 --> 00:06:15,052
simple answers

38
00:06:16,422 --> 00:06:18,603
it was unlike him

39
00:06:18,603 --> 00:06:21,042
he loved words

40
00:06:21,042 --> 00:06:24,746
loved to use many when a few would suffice

41
00:06:38,038 --> 00:06:41,460
but either he had less to say now

42
00:06:44,453 --> 00:06:48,188
or he felt he was already saying it
