pete said there's no neuro damage.
good.
That's good.
I called the cops.
There's no news.
But I'm gonna stay on top of 'em, call 'em every day.
And I checked our home security system.
We have a doorman, But I'm gonna hire somebody to-- to watch the apartment, 'cause, you know, maybe that will make her feel safer.
People never feel safe after an attack.
I mean, right? Well, cooper-- I mean, you hid in the closet when the doorbell rang, So I'm thinking that an armed man outside our apartment door Would give her some peace of mind, right? What do you think that costs, like, 50, 60 bucks an hour? 'cause I can cover that.
Maybe she'll need a bodyguard, Like a, you know, like a 24-hour-a-day person To go with her everywhere for a while-- cooper.
I'm supposed to protect her.
I know it's the 21st century, And you women have all surpassed us in lifespan, Academic achievement, intelligence, And You know, well, everything else, But Look, when I was a kid, my dad taught me one thing.
He said, "you find a woman, you marry her, "you get her pregnant, You spend the rest of your life taking care of her.
" Maybe that's cro-magnon or something, but I mean, I am her man.
I'm supposed to keep her safe.
Well, I have been where she is, And I can tell you that You don't have to be tough.
You ju have to be there.
Okay? Okay.
Now come here.
You know, and for the record, Cro-magnon is a relief sometimes.
Sometimes cro-magnon is really hot.
Right? Do you know what this is? It's your file.
It's not thick.
It's just a couple of pages.
So that's good.
Okay? Okay.
What's it say? No criminal record.
Dishonorable discharge from the navy.
That was a long time ago.
I know.
I know.
It's just that it's in your file, so I ha a job now.
I have a girlfriend.
I'm normal now.
Can you tell me about your girlfriend? We had a fight.
A fight? When? Tonight? She was screwing this guy in our bed, And I caught her.

She was throwing stuff, and, uh I was yelling.
And then she hit me.

Let me tell you what it's like.
You know those made-for-tv movies Where some woman's always crouched down naked in a shower, Holding her knees and sobbing, 'cause when she closes her eyes, She can still feel the guy's hands on her? How when they show the attack, The woman's eyes go all blank and still, And she goes to some other place in her mind Just to deal with the horror of what's happening to her While some lilith fair song plays? It is nothing like that.
It's dirty And sweaty And he licks your face, And he wipes himself off in your hair.
And when you try to scream, He punches you so hard, you see god.
And then he goes at you again Ripping stuff you didn't even know you had, 'cause he enjoyed it so much the first time.
